The campground was clean and well kept. The hosts were friendly and always available. It was a great get away in one of our favorite spots!

We stayed in the walk-in loop. The bathroom is cleaned poorly and very stinky, almost unbearable.

Nice, conveniently located park close to town. Drive in thru Old Mammoth Rd will only require about 1/2 mile of dirt road rather than 3.5 miles coming off Hwy 395. Road is rough once in the campground.

A secluded but just 15 mins ride from city campground. Camp host Don greeted us and was very helpful in explaining do and don't. I was at site 08 which is walk in site. It was very close to restroom but not too close for odour. The restrooms are clean but no flush. Site 8 is so close to the creek that you hear calming sound of water flowing whole night.

It was an awesome stay! Camp host Don was very friendly and welcoming. Also, we loved the creek nearby and being close but not too close to town. Will stay again soon!

Sherwin creek is one of our favorite camps! We have no camped their three years in a row and every year we stay longer. We had a great experience with our camp host. This year Don was amazing all ten days we were there. We will definitely be back next year!

Like the campground but there is a bear that broke into multiple trailers while we were there. Seems like it is a problem bear that is doing this over and over.

Bathrooms in the tent loop were clean, but we never talked to the host about checking in. Somewhat noisy campground due to all of the off-road vehicles.
