There's a camp host that drives around to check you in. They give you guidelines as well. Rules to follow and such. Quiet time is 10pm to 6am. Well...some folks didn't care about quiet time and they were right next to us and were playing monopoly or some board game and were loud till about midnight. Totally was not cool. I felt like the sites were too close to each other. That's my only complaint. The lakes themselves are beautiful so make sure to check those out as there are many in the surrounding area.

Okay, the parking is terrible but if you're patient and parking lot pimpin', there will be an open spot for you! The water is freezing here in the summer but that is why I love it so much! I love being the 1 out of 3 people who swims here lol. If you want to fish here, I promise there's no fish here. We can never catch anything here! 10/10 will always visit again.

Campgrounds are very well maintained, the bathrooms are clean (no soap though when we were there), potable water spigots all arounds, and campsites have plenty of space. Car ports were a bit tight (he had 2 per parking space) but we managed. Hosts drive around all day and make sure things are going smoothly, some people may like that, others might find it a little annoying.

You want to get off at Red's Meadow and hike to the falls. It's easy-easy/moderate and is the shortest distance to the falls. Do not take it from Devil's Postpile because it will add 1.5 miles of open sun hike to the falls. Once there, reward yourself with glass of wine and lunch. The water is cool to cold (depending on the time of year) and refreshing. Highly recommended

I'm always looking for an excuse to cook for friends. BBQ'd ribs, seared ahi, double-cut pork chops, bone-in ribeyes, and heaping plates of Korean-style short ribs: nobody went to bed hungry (or sober). Convict Lake was base camp for lots of other adventures: trout fishing in the nearby lake and streams, day trips into Mammoth for Mexican food, jujitsu sessions, and restocking depleted supplies of ice and beer, and hikes to the high lakes that surround the campground for overnight sleepovers. we even had several party crashers including Bambi and, one particularly rowdy evening, a bear. maybe next year, I'll find a nearby four-star hotel and leave sleeping on the ground to younger folks with less grumpy backs.
