Very nice campground. Clean and lots of room at each site. Tip: enter the campground from the road in town, do not enter from Sherwin Creek off the 395. Long dirt road road that was incredibly bumpy!

Quiet campground along a creek that feels miles and miles from civilization but is only 10 minutes from town. Vault toilets were clean and well maintained, and campsites were swept and tidy. The campground roads, signage, and other infrastructure could use some maintenance - roads were very rough and in need of gravel and drainage maintenance, and not all of the water sources were functioning. A mix of tent and RV campers, quiet times were appropriately enforced. Overall a great campground and we will be back if we are in the area again.

Très proche de Mammoth Lakes. Dan est un hôte très sympa. Les emplacements sont spacieux et ombragés.

Very nice secluded campsite, directly next to the stream so we could fall asleep to the sound of the water. Nice campground host.
No bear encounter.

This site has far less trees than it appears to have in the picture. Unfortunately, it seems like many of them have been recently cut down. Either way, our tent in the corner had enough shade. This site is barely a walk-in - you just have to cross a small creek from the parking area and the site is right there. We had no issues with bears or other animals and it was a nice, short drive to town.
