Pine Cliff Resort

FYI this is a campground, not a hotel. This is very close to June Lake. You can easily walk from the campsite down to the lake, or you can drive down to the lake. It is my understanding that this place just reopened after being closed for over 2 years. My only real complaint is that for the size of the campground and the amount of people that camp there, they don't have nearly enough bathrooms. I had to stand in line every time I had to use the bathroom or shower.

We recently stayed at Pinecliff Resort in June Lake, California, in site 23, and had an amazing experience. The location is beautiful, surrounded by serene pine trees and breathtaking mountain views. Site 23 was spacious, clean, and perfectly maintained, offering easy access to amenities and a short 5 min walk to the lake. Reservations were easy to make via their website. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They were very communicative from time of reservation through checkout. It was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy nature, and explore the surrounding area. We can’t wait to return!

We just completed a 4 night stay at this campground and we were told that they just recently reopened. We had a really great experience with everything! We know that they are doing a lot of work and cleaning up, but all the hosts are very kind and hospitable! This is a really beautiful place right across June Lake. Booking is a breeze and they are very responsive to inquiries. Please give them a try! We will definitely be back!

Stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and it was busy, but pretty quiet with just some occasional generator use, and staff was helpful and friendly keeping up with maintaining the restrooms. The resort has a lot of pine trees, so even though you have neighbors camping also, the feel is more of being in a forest. Great experience with a hound that doesn't like fireworks displays, and great for being within walking distance of the lake and some incredible June Lake views.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved our stay at Pine Cliff Campground! The campground is beautiful, clean, and the perfect place for families. It was very kid-friendly, and everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. One of our favorite things was the easy walk down to June Lake. It was so convenient and made it easy to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and spend time by the water. We also really appreciated having access to the laundry facilities during our longer stay—it made a huge difference. We were especially impressed with the customer service. Our friends had an issue with their trailer sewage connection, and the staff responded immediately and had the problem fixed quickly. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. We highly recommend Pine Cliff Campground and can’t wait to come back!

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

Have been going here for over 50 years. Love the scenery and camp spots have always been great! However, the staff are not very friendly! Use to be but not anymore. Some people should just find another line of work if they hate their jobs. Probably won’t be back but we had a good run, great memories!

Pine Cliff Resort was one of the highlights of our trip and lowest at same time. The beach was great , warm water and sunny day, but when we tried to leave the next morning the coach wouldn’t start- Instead of leaving at 7 am we left at 2 pm and the only way we did get to leave was because of Mike Davis - an employee of the property- he crawled under the coach and banged on the starter! Now that’s service. So much fir AAA - nearest help was AZ or Bakersfield! Thank you Mike Davis! Sir! I would stay at Pine Cliff again - only with another RV! Jim Eckel

Nice clean campground. Cash only, but they have an ATM.

Old school campground and a hidden gem. They say it’s been around for 55 years and runs on a US Forest Service Lease but you won’t find it on Recreation.gov. You have to call to make reservations. We stumbled on it and because it’s old school we were able to get 6 days of camping with no reservations. Now because it’s old, it’s worn. But it does provide coin laundry, coin showers, all sites have shade, reasonable space between sites, walk to the beach, crazy chipmunks, and strict quiet hours. The folks that run it are super friendly and helpful. Most of all, I really appreciate the strict campfire out and quiet hours because so many campgrounds turn into party central it’s nice to find one that isn’t.

We showed up last minute after not knowing where we were gonna stay for the night. No one bothered us. The campground was pretty empty for that time of year. (Early May) The staff was very polite the next day and did not give us a hard time at all about coming into the park after hours. There was a fellow camper there that has been going to this site for over 20 years, loves to fish and June Lake has great fishing. More so in the middle than on the sides. There was a few family of deer hanging around, that was cool. And because we came in later than normal, checkout us usually 1030, and they told us not to rush because it was a Sunday and the park wasn't busy. We enjoyed it and will be back.
