Ellery Lake Campground

Reviewed By PAC626 - Sierra Madre, United States

As the others have written, this is a wonderfully small campground with fewer than 2 dozen sites. The proximity to the creek is enticing, however is also offset by the hordes of Mosquitoes 'in season' so be prepared.... There is simply so much to enjoy in this majestic location that you will likely finding that you will need, and want, to come back in order to enjoy the area to it's fullest. Saddlebag Lake, Twenty Lakes, Bennetville, Mono Lake, Tioga Pass Road, Tioga Pass Resort, Tioga Lake, Yosemite, Tuolumne Meadows, Dana Meadows, Tenaya Lake and all of the various hiking trails and destinations within 10 to 15 miles of this area. Venture further out on the way to or from this area and there is Mono Lake, Bodie, June Lakes Loop, Mammoth Lakes and soooo much more. Get out and explore and enjoy!

Lee Vining Canyon was there long before the Tioga Road, but many people don’t recognize the name. We stopped near the campground for some leaf peeping, superb!
