Pine Cliff Resort
Overview
Pine Cliff Resort offers a classic mountain camping experience nestled in the heart of the Eastern Sierra. Established as a family-run destination, this park provides a sense of nostalgia combined with essential modern conveniences. It serves as a comfortable retreat where visitors can escape the heat of the valley and enjoy the crisp, thin air of the high country under a canopy of towering pine trees and majestic mountain vistas.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just off the scenic June Lake Loop, the resort is positioned perfectly between the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada. It is within a short distance of both June Lake and Gull Lake, making it a prime spot for water-based recreation and photography. The surrounding landscape is defined by sheer granite cliffs and dense alpine forests, offering a serene atmosphere that changes beautifully with the seasons.
Amenities & Park Features
This resort is well-equipped to handle various rig sizes, offering sites with full hookups including water, sewer, and electricity. On-site facilities are designed for convenience and include the following:
- A well-stocked general store for supplies and snacks.
- Clean restrooms and hot showers for guest use.
- On-site laundry facilities to support long-term travelers.
- A playground and designated campfire rings for family evenings.
The park maintains a high standard of cleanliness, ensuring a comfortable environment for all guests throughout the peak summer and fall seasons.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activities, as the park is a gateway to world-class trout fishing and scenic hiking trails like the trek to Parker Lake. The dramatic tufa towers of Mono Lake are a short drive away, and the park serves as an excellent basecamp for visiting the Tioga Pass entrance of Yosemite National Park. During the autumn, the entire June Lake area becomes a premier destination for those seeking vibrant fall foliage.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for active families and fishing enthusiasts who want a reliable home base with easy lake access. It also appeals to mountain travelers looking for a more established resort feel compared to primitive forest service sites. If you value a community atmosphere and being close to town amenities while remaining immersed in the wilderness, Pine Cliff Resort is an excellent choice for your next California adventure.

Although in a nice location and relatively inexpensive, we would NOT recommend ever staying at this campground in it's current state. Management is unpleasant (at best) and severely behind in every mode of financial interactions & bookkeeping, dirt drive paths meandering all over the place, electrical at sites is iffy, some sites are at the extreme of unlevel, and it's just way too packed in. Maybe someday new management will remap this park, remove about 25% of this sites, lay out some decent drive paths, rework the electrical infrastructure, etc - oh, and hopefully treat customers decently would be a nice touch.

We stayed one night here in full hook-up back-in site. This is a private RV Park with a long time owner. It has about 200 spots in the popular recreation area of June Lake. This is a cash only business so bring plenty of it. Showers $1.00, laundry $2.00/machine. 30 amp back in $50.40, water-electric only site around $45. Sites are close together amongst tall pines. Easy walk, ride, drive to lake. Only one shower building was operable at the time but it was central to camp. Facility is old, and I believe the word resort is mis-applied here. Staff is generally friendly and helpful. No Wi-Fi, weak but usable cell service.

We just happen to stop by to refill my propane tank and the staff was more than accomadating. They are cash only, but they do have an ATM on site. The store and resort is well taken care of by retirees who love this lake and area. Be patient and kind. Sad I even need to mention that, but I personally watched someone give the clerks a hard time because the employees weren't moving fast enough. Needless to say, that guy was talked too. If you want to reserve a site you will need to call, that's the only way they reserve. Not a big deal. Enjoy the land!

If your looking for a "real" camping experience this is a great place to stay. We've been camping here for the past 3 years. They have a hook-up's, store, showers, laundry, tree's, wild life, squirrel's that eat from your hand basic needs for RV/trailer camping. It is very old school as far as technology for checking in, managing sites and payment. I've never had an issue with any of the staff. They have always been helpful. They expect campers to obey the rules of quiet time and fires out a 10 pm. I appreciate the reminder, it helps us stay on schedule for activities and fishing early the next morning. I see it as just doing their job. Keep in mind they are Seniors, so grumpy or rude is just a part of life. This year we lost our dog Bailey. The entire campground was out looking for her. The staff was AMAZING. They drove around on golf carts, checked with flashlight's under cabins, got a blood hound involved. They out did themselves. Our dog was found and it was an effort from staff and campers at Pine Cliff. We can camp anywhere we choose. We will always choose Pine Cliff when camping in the Sierra's. See you next year
