Summary
Popular campgrounds like June Lake, Silver Lake, and Oh! Ridge require reservations (via Recreation.gov) and charge fees. Amenities typically include flush or pit toilets, potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and RV access (some sites with limited hookups). Nestled in the Eastern Sierra near a string of alpine lakes, this scenic area features forested lakeside views, trout fishing, kayaking, and hiking trails like Parker Lake and Fern Lake. Autumn brings vibrant fall colors, while summer offers warm days and cool nights. The best time to visit is June through October for optimal weather and trail access.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
