Hey Sammy,

I think you are thinking about Lee Vining Creek.
There are a number of campgrounds in this area.

As you leave Lee Vining and head up 120 through the gorge, there is a road on the left that leads to several campgrounds.

Up near the top of the hill on the right is the turnoff to Saddlebag Lake. There is a small campground right at the turn-off, a walk-in campsite ~1 mile up the road, and a drive in campground at Saddlebag. Further up toward the entrance to the park is Tioga Lake campground, a small, but picturesque site.

The only issue with these sites, Sammy, is that it is a real pot shot whether any will be open on Saturday. We were up there two weeks ago on a Friday and had a hard time finding a site (we ended up at Saddlebag). Your best bet is to get there as early as possible.

Hope that helps,

Buzz

P.S.: yes, there are fish in Lee Vining Creek. Up in the Saddlebag Lake area it gets a lot of pressure, less so down in the canyon. There is decent fishing in Tioga Lake, but it helps to have a boat. Saddlebag has some decent shore fishing, but a float tube is better. Best fishing there was in the morning, but we were up there on a new moon. B
