What campers say
Upper Deadman Campground is a quiet, primitive site near Mammoth Lakes with spacious, flat tent spots and a creek running through the loop. Visitors note dirt and pine-needle groundcover, no running water, and generally limited facilities, though some reports mention pit toilets. Many reviewers praise friendly camp hosts and free camping availability; anglers have also reported catching trout. Practical tradeoffs include the basic, no-frills nature of the site and occasional temporary closures from creek flooding or administrative changes (a proposal to begin charging fees has been noted). Overall it’s peaceful and rustic for self-sufficient campers.
