Its always a pleasant experience at Convict Lake. Camping near the stream is a plus. Watch out for the pesky bears !

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!

Beautiful campground, especially for fall colors and as a base to tour the whole area. Standard national park non hookup sites, but flush toilets and fresh water readily available. Dump station just across the creek, near the resort (store, restaurant, cabins). Also, hot showers available ($) at the resort. Some sites are very private, but we preferred the larger, more open sites with creek access. Clean and well maintained by the very helpful camp hosts. Lots of always FF sites (not listed to be able to book online), so take a look for open sites before you set-up and you may find one nicer than the site you booked. Camp hosts will get you taken care of if you decide to change sites. Short drive to Mammoth Lakes, where you can get anything you need/want. Chevron station in Mammoth sells propane.

Our reservation got canceled due to the national forest closures. Disappointing. Was so looking forward to returning there.

We had a great experience there especially being near Convict creek. Being creekside was satisfying and it was fun for the kids to swim in and play by during the day. The nearby store was well stocked and at a very convenient walking distance from the campground. There is a restaurant next to the store that seemed well visited and offered take-out pizza, but we didnt try it. Beyond all those conveniences the breathtaking sweeping views of the Eastern sierras from the campsites are what make me come back here over and over.

We've been coming to Convict Lake campground for 39 years now, we love it! The only "bad" thing this year was they didn't stock the lake or streams?
