Convict Lake Campground

Dennis was super helpful. Both sites I had were great and perfect time of year. Everything was organized and clean.

In no way should this campground be dog friendly unfortunately. Every site was fully surrounded by unbelievable thorns, spurs, and tons of foxtails. My dogs couldn’t go anywhere to go to the bathroom and are super potty trained so it was a struggle for them. People feed the elk so they run in groups through the sites around dinner time (very cool for kids but not dogs because they try to walk up to the dogs). We came for the lake and at every single hour with sunlight, the 15 parking spots were too full and we never got to touch water. We even bought a second kayak for this trip. It was so bad we left early. I’m heartbroken.

This was about our 20th year camping in Convict with our whole family. As always camp host Dennis was amazing. The campground was well run and clean. Can't wait to go back next summer.

Beautiful surroundings. Nice camp site. Site #80 was big enough to accommodate 22' rig with ~20' inflatable boat.

Great spot!

The campsite was very close to the lake. The view of the mountain was spectacular. Restroom and water source was also close by. The added surprise was seeing so many Mule Deer up close. One crossed our path and stopped and stared at us for more than a few minutes before moving on. One was eating the leaves on a tree and continued doing so even with us watching. The store was a short walk also. I wish I could have fished on the Marina Pier but found many places to do so. Being able to have a campfire in the evenings was a plus. The space was large enough to set up both our tent and al arge canopy for shade. The picnic table was a plus. The storage area for food was extra large. The paved driveway was good. At night, it was very peaceful. When we left, we were able to visit Mamouth Village/ski lifts/Mary Lake/Twin Lakes/etc on our way back. The price for the 3 nights was reasonable. The rentals for kayaks was a little high for the limited time frame. We plan on coming back again.

Been coming here for over 20 years. This week only had 1 host, usually 3, and Dennis could not keep up with the bathroom clean up but he did his best. 1 host for 88 camp sites, that should never happen. E bikes everywhere, swimming in the creek, I’m gonna have to find a new fishing hole

Such a beautiful campground. The Host was kind and helpful, the guests were quiet and respectful

The campground itself is OK. The restroom is very clean. No trees around the campsite. So it was very hot when we were there.

This location is beautiful. The campsites are very well maintained and many are very private. They have large parking areas and a pretty decent size camping area. The bathrooms are very clean and ventilated. The lake is beautiful and it is pretty easy to hike the perimeter. There is good fishing in the lake and stream. There are mosquitos at night only. Every site has a bear safe which is really convenient. The convenient store is a short walk up from the campsite with almost everything you could need. Overall, I would definitely reserve more stays at Convict Lake.
