Located on Ward Lake, Ward Lake Campground provide sites with lake views. Sites offer picnic tables, fire rings, bear boxes, and pine and aspen trees provide shade for most campsites. Vault toilets are also provided. Ward Lake offers opportunites for non-motorized boating, fishing, and swimming.
From Lakeshore, CA, take Huntington Lake Rd. east 0.7 miles to Mono Hot Springs sign. Turn left after sign onto Kaiser Pass Trail/Forest Rt. 80 (paved) and go 16.9 miles to Ward Lake/Florence Lake sign and intersection. Continue straight onto Florence Lake Trail and go 3.3 miles to campground.
AVOID THIS RATTLESNACK PARADISE!!
RATTLES SNAKES EVERYWHERE! And our car got thrashed by bears, and the water snakes basically make the lake unusable. Mosquito's this year have been TERRIBLE TOO!!
Then of course the swarms of bees everywhere and the frickin' ranger always telling everyone to keep it down at 9pm.. such a bummer.
There's such better camping at Jackass Meadows (seriously) Mono Hot Springs, Edison Lake, etc.. Really this spot should basically be torn down.
Definitely do not recommend
Love this place. Home away from home. Made this trip a birthday tradition 4 years running. This will be year 5.
About 1 hour and 45 minutes from Shaver Lake, this was a remote and scenic campground. We had a beautiful campsite surrounded by golden Aspen’s with a great stone fire ring and a picnic table.
WORST PLACE TO STOP on Kaiser pass. Had a snake den in our campsite and scorpions in our shoes. Bees CONSTANTLY in our food and basically almost got carried away by mosquitos.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Not kid friendly and barely adult friendly EVEN if everywhere else is packed. Shaver or Huntington are way worth the drive back down if everywhere else is full. Or try jackass meadows.
