Great location close to town but quiet and secluded feeling. Close to many MTB and hiking trails.

Campground was clean. Area is close to town, which makes it easy to access hiking trails, and other features. Cell reception was sporadic. Everyone was respectful of each other‘s campsites, and we got lucky because there was not any partiers.

This campsite is absolutely beautiful, we stayed at 7 which is next to the bathrooms and creek. There is water and a fire pit for food. It was so serene, perfect distance (maybe 15 min) from mammoth lakes and in the opposite direction natural hot springs. Highly recommend! We will be back.

My dogs and I had an amazing experience in this campground, staff was super friendly, everything was clean and organized, just a couple minutes drive from vons and lake mary. I stayed in space 54 and loved it! It was huge! With so much space for my dogs to explore and close to the bathroom. Only issue is there was no shade at noon; the sun was shining directly and strongly on the table.

Camphost was professional, attentive but let us enjoy ourselves. The previous camp host, Debbie, was very intrusive and didn't allow us to enjoy our stay. She was very loud and aggressive and we are glad she is gone.

beautiful campground, tucked back into the forest, yet only a few minutes drive from the center of town. Easy and convenient site to get to with a wonderful creek running though it. Highly recommend!
