About Convict Lake Campground
Overview
Convict Lake Campground is situated near Convict Lake amidst the beautiful scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The lake and surrounding national forest provide many opportunities for family fun, outdoor recreation and relaxation.
The campground and nearby resort offer many amenities for a convenient and enjoyable camping experience. The facility is located between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, California, near Mammoth Airport.
Recreation
The eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains are known for exceptional trout fishing. Anglers can cast a line for rainbow and brown trout in the creek or lake. Power boats are limited to electric motors on the lake (six horsepower or less).
The area's majestic scenery and variety of trails draw in hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian enthusiasts. The 3.5-mile Lake Trail can be accessed from the campground, and many other trails are in nearby John Muir Wilderness.
Facilities
This is a fairly large and well-organized facility with both reservable and first-come, first-served campsites. A few sites overlook the lake, while others are a short distance from the shore. Sites are spaced fairly close together.
Flush toilets, drinking water, and a dump station are provided, as well as food storage lockers for safety from bears.
Campers can purchase firewood on-site. A store, pack station, boat rentals, restaurant, and other amenities are just down the road at the Convict Lake Resort.
Natural Features
The campground sits at an elevation of 7,500 ft. and provides gorgeous views of the lake and the dramatic mountain scenery. Convict Creek runs through the campground, and the 167-acre Convict Lake is about 100 yards away. Shrubs and low vegetation fill in the landscape, though tall aspen and cottonwood trees grow along the creek.
The area is abundant with wildlife, including black bears, mountain lions, mule deer, pine marten, pika and many species of fish and birds.
Nearby Attractions
Visitors can explore the magnificent John Muir Wilderness, which stretches for 100 miles along the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is a land of lofty snow-capped mountains, deep canyons and vast expanses of glacially-carved terrain, and offers extensive hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at Convict Lake Campground?
Reservations for Convict Lake Campground are made through Recreation.gov. The current snapshot shows substantial availability: 392 of 528 tracked site-nights are open (74.2%), though availability can change. Campsite Sniper has also detected 415 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Convict Lake Campground?
Campsite Sniper detected 415 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Can I get a multi-night stay at Convict Lake Campground?
45 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Apr 23, 2027 at site 011. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.
Which sites at Convict Lake Campground fit a 35-foot RV?
24 of the 48 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 55 ft.
Which month has the most availability at Convict Lake Campground?
April 2027, with 264 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 384.
How far ahead of a stay do openings appear at Convict Lake Campground?
Half of the openings Campsite Sniper detected appeared at least 8 days before the stay date; the middle 50% landed 5-13 days out. Campsite Sniper can monitor future changes for dates you select.
When is the next open date at Convict Lake Campground?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Convict Lake Campground begins Apr 23, 2027 — about 172 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Apr 23, 2027.
