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!

Campground is well maintained, and scenery is absolutely beautiful. Campground hosts are friendly, helpful and among the best we have come across

Can sites are always clean and well maintained. The campground host was very friendly,I believe his name was Jeff.

Excellent campsite. Private spot with a great view. Close to toilets but obscured by bushes and no bad smells.

Camp site was nice. When I went to the lake I was verbally assaulted by a person that had saved her spot by leaving her glasses to mark the spot as taken. Not a pleasant experience

Beautiful campground. Deer visited daily. Quiet and clean bathrooms. No/very limited cell service which was just fine! Great place to disconnect.

This is a very pretty, private, serene place to camp. the lake is a walk away and the set up gives you total privacy from other campers, The toilet is very clean and there's a faucet in front for washing foot and hands.

Campsites were in the best condition ever upon arrival, a nice compliment considering we have been staying at this campground for close to 40 years. Bathrooms very clean as always.

One of the best camping spots ever! Beautiful view of mountains and deer came through every morning and evening. Even despite the afternoon thunderstorms every day. Clean bathrooms too. Definitely our Go to spot going forward.

We love how clean the grounds and bathrooms are and we love our spots with the beautiful view of the convict lake granite mountains. Everyone is very nice in the Convict Lake Store and they have a great selection of gifts.

I don't know that I would use this campsite again. but it was a good experience. Bathrooms were locked early in the evening, but prior to that were some of the best campsite bathrooms I have ever seen. Beautiful location in the evening and in the morning.

Been coming up here for close to 40 years. Campgrounds are in great shape, bathrooms very clean. Looking forward to fire restriction being lifted so can enjoy a campfire and barbecue.

The spaces are very nice, some are further apart than others, but that didn’t matter, it was peaceful and very beautiful. There were a group of deer roaming around daily, and in the ever. Minding their own business and very friendly.
The lake is a short walk from the camp sites, but a quick drive with ample parking if you prefer to drive to the lake.
The hike around Convict Lake is extremely easy for all levels and absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve been visiting the area for years and we always seem to get a quick rain shower in the afternoon. It goes away as fast as it came in. Very refreshing!
Caught a few trout and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunsets.
The store and restraunt are great if you need something or don’t feel like cooking.
Our family loved our stay.

Convict Lake was wonderful. Not just does the the beauty of the place make the trip great but I wanted to put out a good word and a thank you to Bill and Dennis two of the camp hosts. Those guys work hard making sure the campground is clean and runs smoothly. Thank you again for making our trip great.

Beautiful campground, short walk to the lake. Watched deer walk thru meadow right behind our campsite. Campsite was level and easy to back into. Restrooms were clean and close bye.
