Reversed Creek Campground puts you in mature aspen groves at 7,600 feet, with Gull Lake directly across the entrance and the June Lake Loop's fishing spots within easy reach. The 17 sites wrap around a single loop with decent spacing between neighbors, making this a solid base camp for exploring the eastern Sierra without the crowds of bigger campgrounds.

Amenities
The Camp
The sites here can handle 30-foot rigs and come with the usual developed campground amenities: flush toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and bear-proof lockers. The aspen canopy provides actual shade—a commodity in the eastern Sierra—and the single-loop layout keeps things simple. You're surrounded by peaks pushing 11,000 and 12,000 feet, so the setting delivers without requiring a death march to reach it.
What to Know
Reservations are required, which means planning ahead but also means you won't show up to find every site taken. The campground sits directly across from Gull Lake, so you can literally walk out of camp and start fishing for rainbow trout. If Gull Lake doesn't produce, June Lake is nearby with the same target species.
For water activities beyond fishing, you'll need to head to June Lake Campground for boat ramp and marina access, or Oh Ridge Campground for a swimming beach. Not a big deal since everything in the June Lake area clusters within a few miles.
Nearby
The real draw is location within the June Lake Loop system. You can paddle Mono Creek, hike to Mammoth Rock, or tackle the Sherwin Lakes and Gaylor Lake trails without breaking camp. The June Lake Loop drive itself provides mountain and lake views if you want scenery without the hiking.
For bigger adventures, trails access the Ansel Adams Wilderness from the area. Mono Lake and Yosemite make reasonable day trips, though you'll want to start early for Yosemite given the distance and summer crowds.
The usual eastern Sierra wildlife applies: black bears (hence the required food lockers), mountain lions, mule deer, and smaller mountain residents like pika and pine marten.
