Oh Ridge Campground

Oh Ridge is overall a pretty great campground - we’ve stayed at several forest service campgrounds and I will say the spot at this one are the closest together we’ve ever seen. We had great views of the lake and the spot was level which was great - just wish they were a little more spacious like other forest service campgrounds. Dump station on site with $10 fee. Free drinking water.

Nice spacious campsites with picnic table and fire ring. Attendants warned that bears may be in campsites though we did not see any…yet. No hookups available. No showers available here but you can take them at the adjacent rv park. The rv park also has a general store in case you need something. Oh and make reservations on recreation.gov. Beautiful lake for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding.

Stayed here for 1 night. All we could find on recreation.gov. Lake is nice for hanging and kayaking. LOTS of people jamming the shore and out in the water. The campsites are pretty much on top of one another. Cell service was great, but it was like camping in a city with little or no privacy. You could hear everything going on around you.

No beats, but doubt we will stay here ever again…

june lake beach is within the campground. if you are not camping, beach is free. you can kayak, paddleboard, swimming, etc. the beach has a kayak rental ($30 per hour, fits 2 adults and 1 kid). there are restrooms and trash bins at the beach area. come early if you want good parking, beach is very popular. if u camp...from site 2, there is a small trail to cut across to get to walk to the beach but sort of dangerous as there are many cars so not great to let kids and teens to walk over there.

if you do camp, the registration person is friendly and informative. the sites are clean and the some has extra parking space (maybe for a fee but no camping on this extra space). the site 2 has a good view of the lake. we paid half of the camp fee due to our pass. we got lucky and saw deer and squirrel up close. it would be 5 stars if the dumpsite was working. per the ranger, someone broke it by jamming the pipe into the dump (a newbie?). we assumed that they would have called someone immediately to fix it but it's been 2 days and still closed.

This was our first time staying at Oh Ridge and I was a bit disappointed at how close together the sites were. Luckily, we had a wide open area at the back of the site with a great view of the lake and mountains, and we also had friendly, respectful neighbors. I liked how the loops are organized with the (clean!) bathrooms in the middle and 3-4 potable water spigots spaced around loop as well. Most sites didn’t seem to be within walking distance to beach, but without kids and gear, it wouldn’t be so bad (and there is plenty of parking at beach). We saw a family of deer twice a day pass right through our site. Showers and laundry available for fee at private campground next door, although we didn’t get any noise for using our outdoor shower and shower tent. If you can, fill up with fuel before you hit this area. Being close to Yosemite and Mammoth, diesel was nearly $6/gallon and gas wasn’t much cheaper. Cell coverage was great- able to work remotely no problem with video calls.

We had to leave a forest service site due to a fire and this campground was full. But we found an awesome site across the road on garbage pit road. It’s a forest service area, but has some abandoned paved roads that lead to a few loops and several dirt roads. Easy access and any size will fit. No shade, but neither does the campground. Would have stayed longer if we didn’t have reservations elsewhere. Oh, and lake beach access is free.

Impeccably clean & organized! RV Dump on-site, across from Range Kiosk.
Bear-proof boxes to store your food, potable water faucets strategically placed close to all sites, as well as trash dumpsters.
The noise level wasn’t bad as sites were grouped into sections, with large empty space between most section.
We were pleasantly surprised by the “bowl” effect by the massive closeness of the mountains with the lakes sitting in the center! Awe-striking views… easy access to gorgeous June Lake! We rented kayaks at June Lake Marine, only 2 miles away on south shore.

OH this place is lovely (get it??) Really a gem. We were there in late May and it snowed 3 of the 6 days we were there - not ideal but we made the best of it and it returned to 60+ degrees afterward. June Lake is absolutely beautiful, Gull Lake down the road is smaller and also beautiful. Fantastic when the wind isn't blowing to kayak and paddleboard (but watch it close because conditions change quickly). Several times when we were the only ones on the lake but I imagine it's quite busy June-August.

Campsites don't have much vegetation so you see all your neighbors but the loops are pretty small. Even if you're in one without a lake view it's easy walking or biking distance. Some of the sites have shelter things that provide some wind protection.

Highly recommend going to Obsidian Dome, Panum Crater, Mono Lake (to see the tufas), and doing the June Lake Driving Loop while you're here. There are a million forest roads to take on your bike or car (if you have 4WD). A trip down to Mammoth is also fun, the ski area was open since it had snowed and there were folks in their swimsuits snowboarding. Pretty funny.

The lake is really pretty and has a great beach. The area is great and there is a chain of lakes around this area. The sites are really nice and well maintained. Some are a tad close to each other and if you like privacy you will see people here which is the only reason I gave a 4/5 star. Everything else is very nice. Att had great service. Water is easily accessible. Would definitely come back again. We were warned about bear but had no issues with bear.
