Oh Ridge

We’ve been going here for years for the Alpha triathlon. Gone are the quiet, peaceful nights and the chill beach days. This used to be a place where everyone followed camping etiquette, respected their *very close* neighbors, and still had a good time. Now it’s a bunch of Flat Landers who don’t deserve to be there, their loud music & yells reverberating throughout the canyon into the middle of the night. The camp hosts don’t do anything about it. The beach is best at sunrise, but thereafter gets PACKED. Recent years, they charge even campers to park there. By day’s end, the gagging fumes of the toilets can be smelled down the far end of the beach. The campground is just okay, typical for a CA campground (OR’s are far superior IMO). No showers, soap, or electric outlets in the bathrooms. Long lines to check in/get to beach, but no way to bypass it if you’re just trying to get back to your site. EVERY YEAR without fail plumping goes out for almost an entire day. Now we expect it, hang out in Mammoth for that day. Why not upgrade with all of those CA taxes you’re stealing from us? The last complaint about this year were the mice, thanks to CA’s idiotic move to use an “environmentally friendly” rat poison that grossly failed (not surprising to anyone with a brain…something those running this state lack entirely). They got into my car, chewed the insulation, made a nest in my glove box. 11 mice drowned in water bowl first night. With traps & honey I killed 2+ mice per night inside my cab. I even took one mouse in my engine 300 mi north! Given the general state of every CA campground I visit, I think it’s time to head back out into the wilderness and stick with Oregon for recreational camping.

We loved the location and its proximity to June Lake; however, there are not enough restroom locations in the park for the number of campgrounds there. We were in the COYOTE section. Each day we waited in a line to use the restroom that was a good distance from the campsite. Also, our site had its fire ring situated right next to the neighboring campers picnic table and tent area, very awkward. It was an end site, 073 COYO with a huge area to relocate the arrangement but recommend this particular site if you are sharing both sites. Camp hosts were very nice.

The local Host has taken over the access to the parking lot on the lake, charging $10 per car with no re entry warranty, the personal is very rude and aggressive.
Beautiful place but run by not very nice people
