Oh Ridge claims its name from a viewpoint within walking distance of camp, but the real draw is the front-row seat to June Lake and the 11,000-12,000-foot peaks that ring the basin. This large campground spreads across several loops above the shoreline, trading shade for views at 7,600 feet elevation.

The Camp
The sites sit in mostly open terrain with scattered pine and aspen—minimal shade means nearly every spot comes with mountain views. Loops are named after local wildlife, and the campground provides the basics: flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, grills, and bear-proof lockers for food storage. A nearby resort fills the gaps with showers, groceries, and camping supplies.
The shoreline location puts you steps from June Lake's clear water for swimming, canoeing, and fishing for rainbow and Alpers trout. The Oh Ridge viewpoint that gives the campground its name sits within walking distance.
What to Know
This is a group campground at $10 per night, with standard Forest Service reservation policies—book 12 months ahead for group sites. The elevation means cooler nights even in summer, and the open setting can feel exposed when weather moves in.
