    The June Lake area in California's Eastern Sierra region provides a mix of established campgrounds and dispersed camping options within Inyo National Forest. Campgrounds like Oh Ridge, Silver Lake, and June Lake Campground offer developed sites with varying amenities, while dispersed camping areas such as Mono Lake South and Inyo National Forest Dispersed Camping provide more primitive experiences. Most campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, with some sites situated directly on lakeshores. The area's camping options range from free dispersed sites to fee-based campgrounds with amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.

    Camping seasons typically run from late April through October or early November, with most facilities closing during winter months due to heavy snowfall and cold temperatures. Many campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends and holidays when sites fill quickly. The region's elevation (approximately 7,600 feet) means cool nights even during summer months, with daytime temperatures generally pleasant. Several campgrounds provide drinking water and vault toilets, though amenities vary significantly between established and dispersed sites. A visitor noted, "The sites were a bit close to each other and camp host was friendly. Being so close to the lake, I did get bit up by bugs."

    Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors, with lakeside sites at June Lake and Gull Lake being particularly sought after. Several campgrounds offer walking access to June Lake, Gull Lake, or Silver Lake, providing opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating. The proximity to the small town of June Lake means campers can easily access restaurants, a brewery, and basic supplies. Campers appreciate the mountain views and alpine setting. According to one review, "We really enjoyed June Lake Campground! The campsite was nice, large and level and tucked into the trees, so felt private and secluded. Some spots were right adjacent to the water as well." The area serves as a good base for exploring nearby attractions including Mono Lake, Yosemite National Park's eastern entrance, and numerous hiking trails.

      June Lake Campground

      June Lake Campground Experience

      June Lake Campground was an absolute blast. Very pleasant to say the least. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because of… neighbours. Neighbours were talking loud, laughing loud, well into the quiet hours of the night sadly. However, restrooms were clean, Lake beautiful, campsites well maintained, solid space for multiple big tents. I bought my 185sq. foot tent and had plenty of space for everything. Definitely will come again.

      Owens River Road Dispersed

      It can get busy but there are a lot of camping spots in this area

      I've camped here several times in the last few months and it got real busy over holiday periods. Now, the first week of October, it is wonderful. I have a beautiful camping spot and it's really quiet, hardly anyone coming by in the day. In summer months it can get tedious with off road vehicles creating dust and noise. But there are so many places to camp here - depending on the size of your set-up and how far you're willing to leave the main road. There's no facilities here, pack it in and pack it out. Let's keep this place beautiful!

      Tuff Campground

      Great Spot tucked right off the highway

      I really like this campground, easy off the highway 395, enough room to maneuver a 40’ trailer, stream running through with trout for days. The Tom’s Cabin restaurant within walking distance and the Eastern Sierras fills your view. Would definitely recommend and will come again.

      Bridgeport Reservoir RV Park and Marina

      Beautiful Bridgeport

      2 beautiful dogs at this beautiful campground! First time camping with friends & totally worth every single minute… arrived so late at night so completely clueless of the scenery in front of our site (#19).

      Site #19 is close to the bathroom & water access! Site was clean and hosts were super nice… their dogs were definitely the highlight of this trip!!!!! They have two beautiful dogs in the campground and they run the store. 11/10 campground!

      P.S: There are bugs, but they were very much harmless and don’t bite! Perfect addition to the outdoor experience, in my opinion!

      Warren Fork Trailhead

      Free spot near Tuolumne climbing

      A small gravel lot good for car camping. Little to no privacy as it’s more or less just a big circle. Beautiful view back down the canyon.

      Convict Lake Campground

      Beautiful lake!

      Convict Lake is stunning 🤩

      You can rent kayaks, SUPs and little pontoon boats from the marina. I wish I brought my own paddle board.

      There’s also a nice 3 mile hike around the lake that’s pretty easy or there’s also a 0.3 mile paved path around it too to make it even more accessible.

      There were a lot of sites when you first enter that were not level, I was happy when I got to the North side of the campground where the sites leveled off. Most of the whole campground would be suitable for Starlink.

      I stayed in site 50 and 51.

      The trade off for doing the North side is that it’s a further walk to the lake.

      The closest grocery store is 15 minutes up in Mammoth lakes, there was a little resort nearby too.

      High Sierra RV Park

      Quiet and close to Yosemite

      The spots are close but not too close. There's a nice creek at the end. Place is quiet and close to Yosemite. Decent prices.

      Convict Lake Campground

      Classic High Sierra Campground

      Many sites initially sloped but level near parking pads. Good for smaller RVs and tents. Clean restrooms with flush toilets and sinks. Easy uphill walk to lake. Saw deers in campground and bear swimming in lake. Beautiful 3 mile level walk around lake. Large level day parking lot near lake if want to stay after 11am checkout. Showers and restaurant normally available at resort. Shortcut through campground to get there. Good view of mountains behind lake - but not lake itself - from most camp sites. Paved roads and sites... but cracked every several hundred feet due to wide temperature swings. No cell service for us (Google-fi and Spectrum mobile). Overall good stay.

      Twin Lakes Campground

      Near Paved Bike / Hike Trail

      Stayed at shaded site 4 next to main road between main lodge and store. Site was a little sloped for 24' RV. Clean flush toilets with sinks. Easy walk to store and main lodge. Paved bike/walking trail a big plus. Showers were closed at store. Water available. A little windy and chilly on lake but site protected under trees. Free shuttle stops nearby if want to visit town or upper lakes.

    Guide to June Lake

    June Lake camping areas sit at elevations between 7,600 to 8,000 feet in California's Eastern Sierra region, creating distinct weather patterns compared to lower elevations. Summer nights typically drop into the 40s, even when daytime temperatures reach the 70s. Access to most camping spots closes from November through April due to snow accumulation, with primary roads reopening once conditions allow.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities abound: Silver Lake Campground at June Lake offers excellent fishing experiences right from shore. "The fishing at silver lake was awesome," notes Andy M., while other campers recommend getting a fishing license at nearby Ernie's. Brandon L. adds, "It's worth it to grab a fishing license up the road at Ernie's."

    Waterfall hikes nearby: At Twin Lakes Campground, you can access waterfall views without extensive hiking. "You can see the lake perfectly from our site. From our site we drove down to June lake which was short and easy," shares Azizah T. Mary C. confirms, "There are lots of trails to hike, many leading to waterfalls or creeks."

    Hot springs exploration: For the adventurous, Inyo National Forest Dispersed Camping provides access to natural hot springs. "We spent a total of 6 days out in the Inyo national forest, outside of mammoth lakes. There are hot springs scattered through out the forest. Clothing optional," shares Daniel S. These natural pools provide a unique wilderness experience after hiking or fishing.

    What campers like

    Wildlife viewing: Campers frequently report wildlife sightings, especially at Oh Ridge Campground. According to Corey M., "We got to see many deer up close. Came to our site to eat." Hannah L. adds, "Saw a doe and two babies run through the site every morning," making it ideal for wildlife enthusiasts.

    Night sky viewing: The clear mountain air and minimal light pollution create excellent stargazing conditions. "Amazing star gazing! Hiked up a rock face and laid out for hours watching the stars," reports Savannah L. from Silver Lake Campground. Similarly, many dispersed camping areas offer unobstructed night sky views.

    Local brewery access: The June Lake brewing scene gets high marks from campers. "Definitely stop by Ohana's & june lake brewing," recommends Keef W. The brewery provides a welcome break from campfire cooking and brings campers together for social experiences.

    What you should know

    Bear activity is common: Bear encounters are reported at multiple campgrounds in the area. "Keep your food in the bear lockers, they have daily visitors late in the evening and throughout the night," advises Jason F. from Twin Lakes Campground. Use provided bear boxes even for scented items like toiletries.

    High elevation affects conditions: Mono Lake South Dispersed campers note specific challenges related to elevation. "The road into these spots is quite sandy and narrow in some places, but we did fine in our 26' Class C," explains Laura M., while others mention unpredictable weather patterns. "Ocean-type squalls can flare up with no warning, because of the wide-open desert terrain," warns Randel M.

    Limited services at dispersed sites: While free camping is available, understand service limitations. "No amenities. Well a hot spring is the ultimate amenity if you ask me. Carry in carry out," explains Daniel S. Plan to bring adequate water, as most dispersed sites have none.

    Tips for camping with families

    Choose campgrounds with kid-friendly amenities: June Lake Campground receives high marks from family campers. "Awesome spots, great shade, the store and dock is right in the campground, its perfect!" says Athena C. Families appreciate the combination of accessibility and activities.

    Consider weather variability: Even in summer, nights can be extremely cold. "I expect that is different at other times. Be warned it is COLD at night," MarinMaverick says about June Lake camping. Pack extra layers, especially for children who may be more sensitive to temperature changes.

    Look for wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy spotting local wildlife. Thomas K. notes, "We always see bald eagles here! Fishing is really good!" at Twin Lakes Campground, making wildlife viewing an educational activity that requires no special equipment.

    Tips from RVers

    Road access considerations: RVers should check road conditions carefully. "Some of the roads can get a bit rough, so make sure you know your vehicles limits," advises Alex P. about Inyo National Forest dispersed camping. Not all forest roads accommodate larger rigs.

    Generator restrictions vary: Different campgrounds have different policies on generators. "We boondocked in Inyo National Forest just last weekend, September 27-29, and it felt like we had the place to ourselves," notes Thad & Savannah R., adding, "Our rig was 58' long and we had no issues getting in or out."

    Dump stations limited: Plan your water usage around available facilities. "Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early," advises Patrick J. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground, which is among the few in the region with full hookups.
