Loved this campground! We stayed for 10 days and still did not get to see or visit all the places we wanted to. Amazing Camp Host , Mike and Trudy answered every question with kindness, helped in directing us to some of the best trails, restaurants and more. Clean restrooms, dog friendly, fire pit, picnic table, good size bear box, hiking trails right out your door, shopping near by. We will defiantly be back.
First time here and we loved it. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean and so is the site. It was quiet and the host (the guy) didn’t get his name was very accommodating !
Really nice camp ground! There were plenty of spots when i was there. Lots of tall lovely pine trees. It was pretty cheap too, fire pits and flush toilets. I really enjoyed my stay there! It's also close to town. Just be careful setting up tents, there were a few ant holes around.
I love camping. Reconnecting with the quiet solitude of nature to fully relax and disconnect from city life is truly magical... however being woken up by pounding live rock music at 11:30 PM for two nights in a row is kinda harshing my vibe. I can't advise anyone camp here unless they plan to be out til 2 AM partying... for everyone else, there's got to be better places in Mammoth. And there are absolutely better places in California. Will be returning to work next week even more tired and burnt out than before. It's a shame because the grounds themselves are really nice.
A nice quiet campground in Mammoth..Know that most of the sites can be difficult to get a trailer longer than 22-24 feet into. Also, there is only one water spigot accessible for RVs to fill in the campground. It's past the bathrooms near site 30.
One of the best camping places in Mammoth lakes. Well maintained and close to the town. The toilets were clean and had good lighting. Would love to come again next year :)
