About
Gull Lake Campground is a small, shaded facility nestled in mature aspen trees at 7,600 feet in the June Lake area of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. With only 11 sites, it offers a more private camping experience than larger area campgrounds. Five of the sites sit directly on Gull Lake, while all sites benefit from proximity to the lake's rainbow trout fishing and calm waters suitable for kayaking and canoeing. The campground provides flush toilets and potable water. Each site is equipped with a bear locker, and all food and scented items must be stored in the lockers due to active bear presence in the area. Sites accommodate tents and smaller RVs up to 30 feet, though vehicles under 25 feet are recommended for all sites. The June Lake Loop offers scenic drives past multiple lakes and 11,000-12,000 foot peaks. Hikers can access the Ansel Adams Wilderness via nearby trailheads, and both Mono Lake and Yosemite National Park make excellent day trips from the campground.
Directions
From US 395 north of Mammoth Lakes, take the southern junction with Highway 158 (June Lake Loop). Drive 2.3 miles to June Lake, then continue 0.4 mile to the campground sign.
