Our family had a great time here, we swim at the lake but we had hard time finding it. You need to hike/climb into rocks. No shower , toilet is portable but they always clean it. You have to pay parking $10/day per car if you go beyond the car limit. Our tent site is very spacious and shady.

Went on a quick solo camping trip with my pup to check this place out before bringing the whole family, and I had a really good time.The camp host was friendly and informative. The campsites were clean, with plenty of good spots to choose from. I stayed at Site 5, which had tons of space. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've personally ever seen.
The water is a little difficult to get to and from, so make sure you don't forget anything and try to keep your hands free. The water was warmer than other places I've been to this year, which was nice since it wasn't the hottest day. The road in also adds a significant amount of travel time because it's narrow and winding.

The camp site was fantastic and JJ the site host was very welcoming and helpful. Only note is to be sure you have cash with you if you extend your stay once you’re on site because you can’t do that on the website.

Beautifully remote camping location! Most campsites are in the shade which is fantastic. Can't wait to come back.

We have been going to Cherry lake for three years and have had an amazing experience every time. Jay-Jay is an amazing groundskeeper. He is very informative and does a great job with kids. Bathroom and campground is super clean. We will definitely be retuning soon.

JJ the camp host was amazing.
I highly recommend this place, especially if you are visiting Yosemite. The drive to the park was a gorgeous lavender filled windy Road.
Not only is there a lake that’s super accessible, but a magnificent creek into a waterfall feature that is spectacular.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. Well maintained and beautiful, with access to a Great Lake. The host JJ is always kind and helpful, giving information and delivering firewood to your campsite sometimes. I’ve visited a dozen times and I look forward to many more.
