Turtle Rock Campground


April 25, 2024

Turtle Rock Campground is located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, offering stunning views of granite peaks, lush meadows, and sparkling lakes. The campground is situated near many popular attractions, including the Mammoth Lakes Basin and Convict Lake, which are ideal for fishing, hiking, and birdwatching. The area is also known for its hot springs, which are perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of exploring.

The campground offers 35 campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. The amenities include potable water, toilets, and bear boxes for storing food. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so visitors should arrive early in the day to secure a spot.

One quirky fact about the area is that the nearby town of Mammoth Lakes was named after the mammoth bones discovered in the area in the 1800s. The best time to visit Turtle Rock Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures average in the mid-70s during the day and drop to the mid-40s at night. Visitors should be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms during this time.

Overall, Turtle Rock Campground is an excellent choice for those looking to experience the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and enjoy outdoor activities in a scenic and peaceful setting.
