Ellery Lake Campground<\/h2>\n

Inyo National Forest @ Yosemite East
\nTioga Pass Hwy 120<\/h4>\n

\"ellerylake\"<\/p>\n

This spectacular setting has a top-of-the-world feeling to it. Gorgeous meadow area, right along the main highway, with a small lake next to giant rock slides and impressive granite mountains.\"snow\"<\/p>\n

The air is thin, the sky is clearest blue, the snow is melting, the stream is trickling and the nights are chilly – even in summer. Bring a winter coat and extra blankets, if you plan to camp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ellerysign\"<\/p>\n

Ellery is small campground is located just outside the EAST GATE of Yosemite National Park<\/a>, along Highway 120 Tioga Pass. Easily accessible and fully paved, this camp is only open half the year due to deep snowpack. The snow usually melts by June, and camp often closes early due to higher elevation weather, sometime in October or November.<\/p>\n

Lee Vining Canyon is to the east and Mount Dana is to the west.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RVokay\"<\/p>\n

Ellery Lake is one of those magical places, where you can spend all day out in nature – without needing to drive anywhere. Gorgeous high country scenery surrounds you in every direction. Walk over to nearby meadows, creeks or neighboring lakes. Climb mountain peaks or enjoy extended day hikes. Watch wildlife from camp or fish in the lake. Stargaze at night w\/ the darkest skies around.<\/p>\n

Or how about, walk to dinner? This place is easy walking distance to the historic Tioga Pass Resort<\/strong><\/a>, where you can enjoy a real, sit-down meal at the cafe. (Hope they will re-open 2020)<\/p>\n

Ellery Lake – camp, h<\/strong>ike, fish or kayak.
\nNo motor boats allowed.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Travelers heading to or from the National Park, \u00a0often stop at Ellery to take photos and walk around. There is always a flurry of activity around easily accessible lakes and this one is no different. The busy highway and constant traffic may be heard from camp, but the ideal location and epic lake makes up for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

\"elleryview\"<\/p>\n

This NFS campground is one of many small camps located along the highway, on the east side of Yosemite National Park. This special place is in high demand, can fill up fast and is quite busy most of the summer.<\/p>\n

perfect for tent campers\"camp\"<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Small parking areas, tight walkways, \u00a0landscape and minimal campsites makes this a “no-turn-around” kinda campground, so don’t bring that huge RV (cuz it won’t fit).<\/p>\n

Most sites do not have enough room to park a second vehicle at all. Each campsite has a locker for food storage. (bear country = store food properly)<\/p>\n
