Our Take
What makes REVERSED CREEK CAMPGROUND special
Nestled beneath a canopy of Jeffrey pines and aspens in the June Lake Loop of California's eastern Sierra Nevada, Reversed Creek Campground is one of those small, shaded gems that seasoned Sierra travelers return to year after year. The campground takes its name from the unusual creek that flows in the opposite direction of most waterways in the area, a geological quirk that adds a touch of character to an already charming spot. What makes this location truly special is its proximity to both June Lake and Gull Lake, two crystalline alpine waters that offer outstanding trout fishing, kayaking, and shoreline picnicking. The June Lake Loop itself is one of the most scenic drives in the Sierra, a winding route beneath towering granite peaks that erupts in aspen gold every autumn. The village of June Lake is just minutes away, offering supplies, dining, and boat rentals. The campground is intimate, with a limited number of well-shaded sites that fill quickly during summer weekends. Reservations are strongly recommended from June through September. Each site comes equipped with a fire ring, picnic table, and access to vault toilets. Elevation sits around 7,600 feet, so nights are refreshingly cool even in midsummer. The best time to visit is late June through early October, with fall color season in late September and October drawing photographers from across the West.
