Oh Ridge

Camp management did not give proper notice about events closing down the main beach on 08/16 and 08/17. Older gentlemen, not as old as the others, around 50's of age, was an asshole about the $10 parking fee, when he stopped me at about 0700am, when I informed him I just wanted to see the parking situation and walking distance of the 2nd beach, he refused and was pressuring me for 10 dollars just to go see the area regardless if it was going to be less than a minute.

Bathrooms were down, 08/16 due to power outage, from 0830-1930ish. Confusion about which bathroom to use since they said the first beach and bathroom were closed for said event.

Not to mention the woman standing post on the day of check in, seemed annoyed I used a Veteran Golden State pass and made it seemed as if she was doing me a favor by accepting it.

Really bad experience with camp hosts, 2nd occurrence, I let it slide first time around in 2023 with a different experience. Mind you, my Veteran Golden State pass wasnt an issue also beach parking fee was non existent that time.

Parker Lake Trail was an easy to moderate hike and dog friendly. Hiking in the Mammoth area is only 15 mi away with Duck Pass Trail and the Hot Creek Trail both dog friendly. Had site #8 at Oh Ridge 8/6 to 8/10. This is a very high time of year for lots and lots of kids and people pulling in and setting up camp next to you at 10pm to 11pm at night. Campsites #10 - #6 are a bit crowded together. You can hear your neighbors unzipping their sleeping bags. I won't come this time a year again, just too many kids, but awesome weather and you are in the Sierras.

Very clean and well maintained campground… camp hosts were amazing.. only con is shade is hard to come by so pick your sites carefully.

Campground was nice, with good views. Some issues with noisy campers after 10 pm quiet hours.

The staff was helpful and the park was very clean. This area is beautiful and this is great place to stay if you plan on exploring or just hanging out at the lake. I have 4/5 stars because we paid to camp and then also paid to park, which is unusual. On top of that, we paid for parking and by the time we drove from the kiosk to the parking lot (like 10 ft) they gave our spot away. I felt like they were gouging our money and we weren't able to bring the kayak, cooler, ect. with us. Kind of a bummer because I don't make a lot of money which is why I was caming in 100 degree weather, and I was really looking forward to kayaking. We waited until some people left and came back. Just know that if you pay for parking and don't park that exact second your spot will be given to whomever is in front of you.
