Pets are welcome in Inyo National Forest Campgrounds and on trails but must be kept leashed and under control at all times. Pets are not allowed at June Lake Beach. Camping is allowed outside of designated campgrounds in some areas on the forest. In areas designated as “Developed Recreation Areas,” camping is restricted to developed campgrounds only. These areas include the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area, Lundy Canyon, Lee Vining Canyon, June Lake Loop, Mammoth Lakes Basin, Reds Meadow Valley, Convict Lake, McGee Creek Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon, Bishop Creek Canyon, Big Pine Canyon, Onion Valley, Whitney Portal, Horseshoe Meadows, the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, and any Research Natural Area. For more information, please contact the Visitor Center nearest the area in which you are interested. For areas where dispersed camping is allowed, you need to obtain a California Campfire Permit for the use of any open flame (including gas stoves, lanterns, wood fires, charcoal fires, or smoking). These permits can be obtained at no cost from any National Forest Ranger Station or Visitor Center. Dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in the campgrounds and on the trails. Limit of two dogs or other pets to any one campsite.
