What a beautiful campground!! I feel like any of the campsites will have an amazing view. We had the privilege to be at campsite 002 which is near the main entrance next to the camp manager. The campsite was well maintained and clean and most importantly quite. There is lots to do at this campground like fishing, kayaking, swimming and hiking but we decided to go out to mammoth lakes which is only 25 mins north from the campground. I recommend going to mammoth and take a $15 shuttle ride to the devils post pile national monument. Its a great hike and if possible go to rainbow falls which is only another mile 1 1/2 miles away from the devils post pile. so don't lose your ticket. Everything about this trip was amazing and i highly recommend this campground.

Camp was well cared for. Bathrooms were clean.

@Christina18556 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #17

Flush toilets and clean bathrooms, walking distance to lake which has nice walking path with select picnic tables and beach access for swimming and fishing. Site were on the smaller size, nice tent pads but very exposed and hot. Access to resort which does have pay-for showers, restuarant and small general store on site. Small lot by lake fills up early but plenty of overflow parking at front of campsite.

Overall campground was fine, restrooms were clean and stocked. Very little shade anywhere, only a few sites have any real shade, and when I was there it was 90deg. There was a wedding at the resort one of the days and the music could be heard quite loud until 10pm which kind of disturbed the out in nature part of camping.

@MariePB9B35399 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #48

The camp manager and host were very helpful.

@KristinT163555 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #4

Clean sites and bathrooms. Just not a lot of shade.

@ChristenP62103 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #43

What an amazing experience! The scenic views. Fresh air. We had an amazing time at Lake Convict Campground. The sites are close together but we felt there was plenty of privacy in-between. The restrooms were clean. The showers were far but it was a good reason to visit the store. I enjoyed our vacation and would certainly go back.

@CameronT552F42 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #63

Absolutely loved it. Campsite was comfortable, with a table, fire ring, bear box for food, and plenty of space for the tent and parking. Bathrooms were clean. All facilities around the lake were great.Thank you! See you next year..!

@JustinTA2AB23C · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #44

We had a wonderful time at this campground! It was just a quick overnight trip but wish we booked longer! What I liked most about the campsite, other than the beautiful view of the lake, was how accessible everything was. A really great site for families with kids. They have a restaurant nearby and the convenience store has plenty of cute souvenirs and snacks. Really appreciated that the restrooms were flushable toilets and not pit toilets. I do wish the bathroom had soap though. But everyone there was very friendly and there was plenty activities to do in and around the lake. We went kayaking for 2 hours in the morning and it was really nice to be on the still water before the wind picked up. Overall very great experience and cant wait to come back, will definitely be staying longer next visit!

@TylerE6761472 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #32

We had a wonderful stay with our 26-foot Lance trailer, three kids, and two dogs. The site was perfecta beautiful balance between the peaceful sound of the creek and stunning mountain views. All three camp hosts were excellent, accommodating, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. There was just enough Verizon signal to make a call if needed, which was a nice bonus. Wed absolutely come back!

@KennethS576281 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #63

If you are able, hike around the lake. Great views of mountains with the lake in the foreground.

@ArianaU23BF1C4 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #11

Always a great time at this camp site! :)

@EmmaE5395146 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #81

Incredible views of the peaks around us, little shade cover. Close to the bathroom and water spigots. Comfortably fit our 3 small tents and 2 cars. Spotty, unreliable cell service. Only complaint was, due to our exposed location, and wind storm blew in out last night, so strong and loud we all had to sleep in our cars. WOULD DEFINITELY COME AGAIN!

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #57

Site 57 was excellent for privacy, but it is the furthest site from the lake. No shade, but the creek ran just behind the site with several access points where you could enter the shallow waters to cool off. Camp hosts were attentive and the bathrooms very clean.

@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #88

We enjoyed our week at Convict Lake. Fishing was great. Just wish that the mouse didnt make the trek home.

@JeffS4172407 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #13

Everything about CONVICT LAKE is awesome. The Lake, creek, camp spots, Store, Marina restaurant and the Mountain backdrop just make your shoulders slope a bit... big exhale...and total relaxation sets in. I've been home for 2 weeks now and am still relaxed. Camp hosts are very friendly and helpful Dennis is great as well as Jeffrey and one other I didn't catch his name. 27th annual trip this year... hopefully at least 27 more. New generation's are being added every year...our group keeps growing.

@AnnH4487288 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #64

Convict Lake is gorgeous with a very nice walking nature trail. Campground was clean and well-kept. Will stay here again!

@GunillaW3DE893 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #37

We love this place, the campground is well kept. It's hard to get the camping place that you want thought. I tried multiple times and the spots I wanted was not available. Then suddenly its taken by someone else. Don't understand how that is.

@PaulC8096585 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #33

Beautiful, well maintained campground.

@DanielV1589109 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #43

Love the lake but the boat rental prices are extremely expensive and not worth the price.

@BrianaW9B86523 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #76

We had a great trip here with family this June. We had a great campsite and really enjoyed being able to walk to the lake, the creek, and the store. Highly recommend! We cant wait to go back.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
