Natural Features and SceneryThe campground overlooks June Lake from the eastern shoreline, a glacial basin filled with clear mountain water. Aspens and pines mix throughout the loops, creating pockets of shade and color that turn golden in fall. The surrounding peaks are a mix of granite and volcanic rock, part of the Eastern Sierra's rain shadow zone. Wildlife includes black bears (hence the bear lockers), mule deer, mountain lions, pine martens, and a variety of mountain birds. The lake itself reflects the surrounding ridges and changes character with the wind.
