Silver Lake Campground

Where the towering peaks of the Ansel Adams Wilderness rise dramatically above tranquil waters, Silver Lake Campground offers an unforgettable outdoor experience at 7,200 feet of elevation. This picturesque campground, located along the June Lake Loop in California’s Eastern Sierra, stands out for its serene lakeside and creekside sites, proximity to hiking trails, and rich recreational opportunities, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

The campground features 62 well-maintained, non-electric sites, many shaded by aspen and willow trees, creating a sense of privacy and immersion in nature.

A small general store, cafe, boat ramp, and pack station are conveniently within walking distance, providing ease without compromising the serenity of the location. Fishing for rainbow trout, horseback riding along Rush Creek, or embarking on scenic hikes, such as the trail to Gem Lake, are just steps away from your campsite.

Situated just seven miles from the town of June Lake, the campground provides access to charming local amenities, including shops and dining, while its central location near Mono Lake and the Ansel Adams Wilderness invites day trips filled with exploration. Ideal for weekend getaways or longer stays, Silver Lake Campground is a quintessential base for outdoor recreation in the iconic landscapes of the Sierra Nevada.
