French Camp Campground

This is my second time camping here, and it never disappoints. The site is always clean, the restrooms are well-stocked (though you need to bring your own hand soap), and the water is always working. Neighbors are respectful and mindful of quiet hours. I've never had issues with bugs, even when camping in late and early summer. Although the site is close to the highway, the noise is minimal—if anything, you'll only hear the nearby creek. It's also a great midpoint between Mammoth and Bishop, where you can explore plenty of outdoor activities. The best part? The stunning stars at night. Also if anyone was concerned about sleeping in their car at “tent only” sites, it’s allowed, for whatever reason some campsites don’t allow it. (This was site 47, site 60 is lovely too!)

We spent four lovely nights at French Camp exploring the plethora of rock climbing in the area. The creek is right behind the grounds and prefect for a soak after exploring. The facilities were really well kept. Our camp host (Steve) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Such an awesome campsite. Some reasons why we love it: -beautiful setting next to creek -quick drive to incredible hiking options -short walk from Tom’s place where you can pick up camping items / food -private campsites, each with fire pit, bear box, and table -full cell service We stayed in campsite #81 which was great.

Campsite is beautiful and immersed in trees with a river nearby. Bathrooms are single stall with mirrors, lights, and running water. Ceramic toilets and toilet paper is provided but no soap. They have bear lockers at the campsite. Fire pit with griddle that can’t be removed. They sell firewood here for $9 per bundle. Went for Memorial Day weekend and got a reservation easy about 2 weeks prior when everything was booked elsewhere. This is surprising because this campsite was so nice!! The best part - I had service the whole time! Only a few bars but not a problem for some light Googling to learn about the area

A good campground to start into the hikes of the area. Sun from early sunrises to late sunsets. Mountain views but not so cold in the nights like the neighborhood campgrounds in the Rock Creek Valley.

This is one of my favorite places to camp. Not too far from civilization, but just far enough to help you relax. No water or electricity hook-ups, but there are plenty of water stations, clean restrooms, and an RV dump station. Campsites are clean and spacious. The camp hosts are nice, too!

Great campsite located near Mammoth Lakes and Bishop. Well established campground with flushable toilets and running water. Check my YouTube out @keychainproduction for a full video review. Concrete picnic tables and a bear box are available in each campsite. Campsite is overall small, only one tent can really fit. Nearby attraction includes Lake Crowley, where I was able to get some good astrophotography shots. Lake Crowley has a beach which is not really trafficked and is pretty private, but it does require some off roading on dirt roads.

Great camp managers and beautiful variety of site layouts for tent and RV options.
