North Shore Campground — Millerton Lake State Recreation Area

Stayed in late August 2018, and we were almost alone in this large campground. Water faucets are between campsites. Sites and Bathrooms were clean. Picnic tables at each site. Level area for tent setup. Sunrises here were awesome. About an hour outside of Fresno - we went to the Fresno Grizzlies game after setting up our tent. The park ranger gave us a gate code to enter late that night since the gate closes earlier than we planned to return. Raccoons visited while we sat out late at night but didn’t bother us since we kept our food inside our vehicle.

We were checked on by the campground host in the morning. Did a survey of our stay. He was very cordial. I’d of given this campground 5 stars if there was more shade. Didn’t bother us much, but on hotter days, in a tent, things might get sweltering.

Quiet, tranquil campsites above Millerton Lake

Great fishing 

We stayed in site 25 in the Mono Loop and the views were wonderful! Staying over Labor Day during record heat and local fires were not ideal but our site was private. Bathrooms were so-so with regard to cleanliness but most sites had its own access to water which was awesome! Sites next to the restroom on the mono loop were close together not very privateer that is something to note when picking a site. More trash at this campground than others I have been to as well. Lake levels were low in Sept but I hear they were high &amp; lake access was even better in the spring &amp; early summer!

Great Lake access &  stunning views

Campsite is close to the water you could definitely post up at the lake and easily get to and from campsite. Plenty of space for multiple tents 
There are a few trees for shade but I’d recommend bringing something to make more shade. We were there in the 4th and it was busy but not at all overwhelming. Getting a campsite is much easier than dealing with the day use area at millerton.
