Our Take
What makes GULL LAKE CAMPGROUND special
Tucked into the eastern Sierra Nevada near the charming June Lake Loop, Gull Lake Campground is one of those small gems that regulars guard jealously. With just 11 sites nestled under mature shade trees, you get a level of privacy and quiet that larger campgrounds simply cannot match. The real draw here is the water access — Gull Lake and nearby June Lake offer outstanding trout fishing, while Mono Creek provides mellow paddling for canoes and kayaks. Hikers will find themselves at the doorstep of some of the Sierra's most dramatic alpine scenery. Summer through early fall is prime time, with July and August delivering warm days and cool mountain nights perfect for campfire evenings. Book early because those 11 sites fill fast, especially on weekends. Bring layers — elevation means temperatures can swing thirty degrees between afternoon and midnight. This campground is ideal for couples, small families, and anglers who want a peaceful base camp without sacrificing access to world-class outdoor recreation.
