May Lake is one of nine High Sierra Camps. It is nestled into the High Sierra at the beautiful May Lake with stunning views of the surrounding mountain wilderness. The ridge behind the Camp offers magnificent sunsets every evening and the lake is a good spot for fishing. It is kind of a luxury camp with eight tent cabins that you can book way in advance via a lottery system. A night is 159 Dollars. The camp is accessible with a strenuous uphill 1.2 miles hike from the May Lake parking lot.
