Ellery Campground sits at 9,500 feet on the east side of Tioga Pass, the east entrance to Yosemite National Park, within the Mono Lake Ranger District of Inyo National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the campground is set at Ellery Lake, about 14 miles from the park's west side. The site has 12 campsites, and some can accommodate vehicles up to 28 feet. Many sites don't have room for a second vehicle. Each campsite has a locker for food storage, and the 14-day stay limit applies. This is bear country, so food must be stored properly and bears must not be fed. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Tuolumne Meadows show July highs around 71°F with lows near 38°F, while winter highs stay in the low 40s. The Bennetville Loop Trail and Junction Campground are both about 0.4 miles away, and the Nunatak Tioga Tarns Trail is about 0.5 miles off. Climbers can find the Girls On Fire - Panderer Cliff Area about 0.7 miles away.
