Finally I am staying here! I have camped across the road at Reverse Creek Campground a couple of times, Gull Lake has always been full. The lake is beautiful and the campground is right next to it. Half the sites are right on the lake.

A few hundred yard walk through the trees brings you to the town of June Lake and the main Gull Lake marina. Snacks, library with wifi, brewery up the hill - awesome!

The campground itself is kind of shabby and run-down and gives the impression that the concessionaires are just milking it for revenue ... surprise!

I got the second to last spot today. Not very level, but I'm happy to be here.

They have changed to payment system so that one does NOT register at the "iron ranger", one occupies the spot and waits for the collector - weird.

Gull Lakes is always full it seems, but it's late in the season, it closes in 10 days.

I not only get a site, I get site #6, which is a big-baller site! It's on the away from the lake side, so it is not ideal for the fishermen that are the core users of this place.It's a little higher so I'm looking over the heads of the fishermen to a nice panorama of the lake through the trees
