June Lake Campground
Overview
Overview
June Lake Campground in June Lake, California places travelers directly inside the dramatic eastern Sierra Nevada landscape. Mountain peaks tower over alpine waters, delivering an authentic high-elevation camping environment. This location attracts road-trippers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking an alpine escape along CA-158. The dramatic topography shapes every aspect of the experience, offering direct immersion into one of California's most scenic mountain corridors.
Location & Surroundings
Approaching via CA-395, drivers wind past towering granite escarpments before turning onto the June Lake Loop. The terrain is characterized by steep glacial canyons, pine forests, and stark rock faces typical of the eastern Sierra. Elevations exceed 7,600 feet, bringing crisp mountain air, cool summer nights, and weather that shifts rapidly. Mammot Lakes sits just to the south, while Mono Lake lies a short drive to the north, framing a striking desert-meets-mountain climate.
Amenities & Park Features
Given the rustic nature of the region, visitors should contact park management directly to confirm specific hookup types and site dimensions. Facilities typically align with U.S. Forest Service or high-country standards, focusing primarily on natural surroundings rather than extensive resort-style luxuries. Campers should inquire ahead regarding potable water access, trash disposal, and the maximum vehicle lengths accommodated by individual loops.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding Mono Basin serves as an exceptional basecamp for outdoor recreation. Anglers frequent June Lake, Gull Lake, and Silver Lake for trout fishing, while hikers access trailheads leading into the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Autumn brings vibrant golden aspen groves across the entire loop. Visitors frequently make the short drive to explore the eerie tufa towers of Mono Lake or travel south toward the ski village of Mammoth Mountain.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits self-contained RVers, nature photographers, and anglers who prioritize scenic geography over indoor luxuries. Travelers towing massive luxury coaches should verify road grades and turn radii before committing to the loop. Anyone wanting to experience high-altitude Sierra landscapes right outside their camper door will find this setting hard to match.

August has challenges for weather. In three days we've experienced them all. This evening was beautiful to finish the trip. Clear with lots of stars.

Nice place to camp, clean Restrooms with running water. People respect the 10pm quiet time. The lake is beautiful and clear.

We spent five days and nights at the June Lake Campground. We go here every year. It’s always clean as are the bathrooms also. You have your own beach to play on and the June Lake Marina is right next door. Walking to town for dining and shopping is a nice walk.:

T-6 in our opinion best tent spot. Close to trial to the marina and showers. Camp host Jack is awesome.! Bathrooms at campground are doable they flush and are cleaned daily. The camp sites could use some tree trimming and firepits maintenance but nothing really wrong here. Nice swimming spots kids friendly. We enjoyed our trip here.

The campsites were close together but had trees for privacy. There is not a lot of room for a tent. There was a small amount of trash in our site when we arrived. The bear box was dirty with ash and had to be swept out before we could use it. The fire pit is very shallow and needs to be cleaned out. It looks like it has never been cleaned out. The bathrooms are moderately clean. There is no direct access to the lake. You have to go around through either marina. There is one on each side of the campground. There is a trail but has not been maintained and is overrun with brush. The fishing here is incredible. If you are here to fish, this is a nice campground. The marina next door has sinks to clean your fish. They also have showers. This was the best feature, and it is not associated with the campground. There are a lot of mosquitoes, be prepared!
