Great views, excellent fishing, nice getaway from the summer heat. We camped in a Travel trailer and had a great time. However, theres always one bad apple that can put a damper on a great trip. Neighbor would turn on truck and headlight for extended periods of time at night. The problem was the light shined right at our camp fire. Same neighbor decides we all would like to hear club music during the day. I thought we could escape the city life for a few days guess not completely.

First time here. Very open campground so we made sure to take our canopies. Overall nice experience. Lake is beautiful. Short drive (10-15 min) from Mammoth lakes. Bathrooms are very clean. Deer sighting is almost guaranteed. Campsites are small, but very clean and semi private. Nice weekend getaway.

Love Convict Lake, great open campground, the staff is always friendly the general store has everything you need they have a fine dining restaurant, awesome views with the mountains in the background and the fishing is excellent. I try to get up there once a year.

This is a very popular camping destination, and view of the lake is absolutely gorgeous. Campsite are pretty close together and I have certainly experienced campgrounds where you have more sense of privacy. I was irked that someone about three campsites away played amplified country western music until fairly late in the evening. Also, I had no cell service at the this campgroundwhich is a mixed blessing.
