Gull Lake Campground

Overview

Gull Lake Campground is a small, shaded and private facility in the June Lake area of the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Within a few miles, campers can access two lakes with fishing and boating opportunities, scenic views and the small town of June Lake.

Recreation

A variety of water and land-based activities surround the campground. Nearby June Lake offer great rainbow trout fishing. Campers also enjoy paddling down Mono Creek or hiking the area's various trails, including one to Mammoth Rock and scenic Sherwin Lakes and Gaylor Lake Trails. A drive along the June Lake Loop results in expansive views of rugged mountain peaks and several lakes.

Facilities

Gull Lake Campground is a small campground with eleven sites. Five of the sites are on Gull Lake. All sites will accommodate tents. Motor homes and travel trailers under 25’ will fit on all sites. Longer RV’s are not recommended because of short site pads and a narrow cul-de-sac turnaround

Natural Features

The campground sits at an elevation of 7,600 feet in a stand of mature aspen trees. The area is surrounded by 11,000 and 12,000' peaks. Many species of wildlife call the mountains home, such as black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine marten, pika and numerous fish and birds.

Nearby Attractions

Hikers can access the scenic Ansel Adams Wilderness via nearby trails, and Mono Lake and Yosemite National Park are great day trips. Ansel Adams Wilderness Yosemite National Park

The campground was extremely clean and well kept. We loved how each site has a level platform for the tent. The only downside was proximity of our site right next to the main road, which means noise/headlights into the tent all night (site 3). It’s a beautiful setting with aspens all around, and very convenient to the town.

We had a wonderful time! Our favorite spot in the June Lake Loop. We hiked to Parker Lake and made a trip to Tioga Lake. Saw my first bald eagle! 🦅 it was magical. I hope to be back next year. Thank you 😊
