Vermillion Campground
Vermillion Campground is located on the northwest shore of Edison Lake, in a shady stand of Ponderosa pine. Most sites provide lake views. The campground is ideal for tents, as well as small RVs. Each campsite has a picnic table, campfire ring and bear-proof food storage locker, all set off a bit from the parking spur. Some sites are sloped and not suitable for tent camping. Vault toilets are provided. A water spigot is located on-site, but boiling the water is recommended. Large RV’s not recommended on Kaiser Pass Road. Vermillion Campground is an excellent base for exploring the Ansel Adams or John Muir Wilderness Areas and visitors can appreciate mountain views from the campground. The Vermillion Valley Resort offers ferry rides across the lake to trails within the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Visitors can also enjoy campfire programs that are offered throughout the summer.
