About Lakeview Campground

Perched on terraced hillsides overlooking the pristine waters of Upper Lake Mary, Lakeview Campground offers an enchanting escape into nature's embrace. This tent camping haven sits beneath towering old-growth ponderosa pines, where each campsite feels like its own private forest retreat. The gentle Wood Memorial Trail winds down to the lake's edge, inviting morning walks as mist rises from the water. Here, majestic bald eagles soar overhead while osprey dive for fish, and it's not uncommon to spot elk grazing in nearby meadows or mule deer stepping quietly through the pine-scented shadows.
Lakeview Campground caters primarily to tent camping but also accommodates small motorhomes and RVs. It is not suitable for larger trailers or luxury camping options.
