Brown's Town Campgrounds

We stayed (1) nite on 11-5-25. $40. Extra $10 if your want to dump water. Store is closed during winter. You put cash in envelope & drop in the slot. A guy is driving around in golf cart to keep everyone honest. No reservations. Just drive in & find a spot. Lots of pull throughs.

This was a last minute stop for us as it was time to get off the road. We were placed in a back up in spot over looking the golf course. A very nice quiet stop for us. A little tight getting in and out but doable. The only gripe I may have is that they only offer power and water and then a 10 dollar dumping fee if you need. In the morning the line began at dumping site but got to talk with other river’s. 😁. Oh the pies they sell are amazing but they are really proud of them. $7.50 a slice. Good thing they were yummy. Nice place would stay again as the Sierras are always a great backdrop.

Historical plaque inscription: Schober Lane Campground. When purchased by the City of Los Angeles in 1927, this property was an irrigated pasture of native grasses and clover. Prior to European settlement, however, the site was a small part of an area known as "pitana patu," a highly-developed Paiute system of irrigated vegetation. Unique in North America, pitana patu was often referred to as "irrigation without agriculture." Each year, the tribe chose one man for the highly-honored position of "Head Irrigator" to maintain a dam on Bishop Creek to the west, a three-mile-long main ditch, and several smaller ditches used to irrigate numerous plots of wild food plants. In 1960, the Department of Water and Power leased this property to the County of Inyo for use as a roadside park and campgrou

Overall great place to stay. They have spaces for RV's or tents only with bon fire pits. Customer service was great and the small store up front is open long hours. Showers and restrooms are clean. The only small concern is the showers being able to keep up with the hot water demand. Might need to time your shower for off hours.

This campground has been wonderful. We always enjoy our stay. We have been coming here for over 5 years. My in-laws have been coming here much longer. Things here are clean and well managed. Marshall is a grounds keeper here and he does EXCELLENT! He keeping the bathrooms and showers orderly. He’s very attentive to all that he does. Brownstown is very lucky to have him. Thank you to Marshall and all who work there.
