Lake Mary Campground offers beautiful scenery, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, making it a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. Many visitors enjoyed activities like canoeing and stargazing, and appreciated the presence of flush toilets and paved trails. However, some sites are cramped and bear activity can be a concern, so visitors are advised to secure food properly and consider the site's layout before booking.

Surprised to find flush toilets, lots of paved walking trails with a regular shuttle and a nice lake with some activities. Excellent start gazing. Great spot. Will go back.

Try to book one of the sites on the outside of the ring as opposed to the inside and close to the washroom. There will be more room even if the walk to the toilet is longer.

Any time you can camp is wonderful but some of the sites need some serious rearranging
They were originally set up for tent camping and are to narrow for my little 16 ft trailer and my car

Camp site was great my family and I rented a canoe and a pontoon boat which was awesome the views from the water were beautiful. The store at the lake is very limited so be sure to buy all your last minute supplies in town. Bears where in and around the camp site my whole trip be sure to properly lock your bear locker

The camp hosts were really friendly and had tons of helpful advice and recommendations. You will 100% see bears near the campsites.

Loved camping here. Beautiful campsites and located close to a lot of great day hikes. The Camp Host was super helpful. Be aware that this is definitely bear country. I had nightly visits.

The worst campground I've ever stayed at in the high sierras ...it was an asphalt parking lot with your campsite being parking space with a few feet separation from the next (parking space) campsite besides that there was no potable water and then they shut down the bathrooms and did not tell us where the closest bathrooms or water supply was..
ILLL NEVER CAMP THERE AGAIN !

The reason I pay for a campsite is restrooms. There was a leak on my second day and they closed the restrooms and they were unable to repair them. 20 people in a very small area and no toilets. Geez.
