Cant really say anything bad, pulled right up and unpacked. They had my name on the campsite by the time I arrived and the campgrounds were very well maintained. It was quite cold when we were there for the night and next time well be more prepared for it but that has nothing to do with the campsite and the amenities. I was in spot 2 next to the main entrance by the lake and was able to walk right down and catch trout. I want to go back next year around August and see how it is.

What can we say? Our first time at Convict Lake was absolutely breathtakingwere already planning our next trip back! We stayed at Campsite #2, which is right next to the host. It felt tucked away from the other campsites, making it a perfect choice if you prefer peace and quiet at night. The outhouse was just a short walk away and very clean, which we really appreciated. The camp hosts were friendly and welcoming. One of the best parts of Campsite #2 was how close it was to the lakeit made morning and evening walks so easy and beautiful. Overall, we had an amazing experience and cant wait to come back to try out other campsites!

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.

Both hosts did a great job answering questions and keeping the campground tidy and organized. Dinner at Convict Lake Resort Restaurant was deliscious. The trail around the lake was paved and a nice hike. We will be back!

Clean facilities & campground was well-maintained. Breathtaking view of the lake just a short walk away and we had great fun fishing at the lake. There was a wedding going on Saturday night but event was died down (no noise travel) by 10PMish, along with the rest of the campsite. Everyone was friendly and we had no issues during our trip. Firewood available for $8 by camp manager or at resort, showers available at resort for fee (purchase tokens at general store). Overall great experience & want to make it an annual trip!

Love the view, Great Lakes but the weather was bad. We went for a three day trip only did two due to rapid weather change. We were looking forward for sunny warm weather but got high winds and snow out of no where. We will give it another chance next year but for this trip just bad.

Loved staying here and the best part was having the deer roam around, they even came up to our site (amazing!). Also having showers and laundry site nearby at the lodge was amazing as well.

Awesome campsite, great hike around the lake, peaceful in the morning and evening when people head back home. Favorite campground in the Mammoth area. Also short drive to Mammoth if you want to drive up for dinner etc.

Convict Lake! Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful lake and mountains! Very nice campground, camp hosts are great! We pack our lunch and launch our kayak and spend the afternoon floating, taking in all this fantastic scenery! We've been 3 times, Fall is unbelievable! Awesome 3 mile trail around the lake. We'll be back!
