If you fancy the outdoors you'll fancy it here in the Central Sierra Nevada. If you came to camp Willow Campground is a magnificent site to do that, and there are other locations here than Margaret Lake, for example Ledge Lake.
You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the cool things
 
   in the Central Sierra Nevada. The John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section offers hiking at its best; if you fancy a little side journey, try Bishop Pass. The warmest time of the year at Margaret Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 90's with nighttime lows in the 50's. High temperatures all through the winter are normally in the 50's while the cold winter nights at Margaret Lake are in the 20's. So much fun stuff to do at Margaret Lake, so little time.  
               Camping at Aspen Meadow Campground is always a delightful experience, and Super 8 Bishop is a great spot to get some rest.
Hiking along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 11 is nice fun, and if you need a location to stay Days Inn Bishop is a good choice. Margaret Lake gets very little rain; most of the rain falls all through January, and the driest of the months is June. Margaret Lake is right by the Kings River Trail; Spearhead Lake is a great lake nearby.
This lake is so wonderful. At Margaret Lake you can spot Chocolate Peak, and don't miss out on a spree to Devils Postpile National Monument since you're here.

Sabrina Campground
I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories....

North Lake Campground
I have never seen it in the 90's in summer (way to high for those temps), and I am sure it is a heck of lot colder than 50's in the winter...

Big Trees Campground
The only way to drop a kayak in Kings river is a very long drive (maybe 4-5 hours) to the west side or the range, or lugging it through the wilderness (over the spine). I think I would have to give a gold medal to anyone who would lug a kayak from Big Trees to Kings river. Just a heads-up....
