The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is due to the fact that a water spicket that was listed on the campground map, was non functional. All the others in camp worked. This meant we had to lug water jugs during our two week stay. Only other issue were the electric bikes (kids) tearing up the forest. They created their own trails and made ramps. There needs to be some written laws in place concerning the forest destruction.
On the plus side, our camp hosts Mike & patty were awesome, hope they come back next year!!

Enjoyed our stay at Sherwin Creek! The walk in sites are enjoyable along the creek side with lots of trees and beautiful scenery. The campground host Debbie and her husband are really nice and helpful. You can buy wood from them for $9. They do a great job keeping the bathrooms as clean as possible, considering they are pit toilets. Would recommend camping here if your destination is Mammoth! Its far enough away from people, but also relatively close to the city, so provides flexibility for grabbing a bag of ice in town or going to a brewery!

I had a great campsite on the creek. Had super cool neighbors and the campground host is really friendly and stops by to say hello.
There was a bear in the area and bear awareness was in effect big time..

LOVE this campground! Spacious sites, as compared to other campgrounds in the Mammoth Lakes area. Clean grounds and bathrooms! The hosts, Tony and Debbie, were friendly, hard working and constantly making rounds on foot and in a cart, monitoring the sites and camper’s movements; coming in and out of the grounds. They were very welcoming and helpful to us!! We enjoyed the hiking trails and bike riding available nearby and the town of Mammoth offered restaurants, coffee houses, grocery shopping and ski/fishing/bike rentals if needed. The Mammoth Lodge and many lakes Mammoth offers are just a short drive. We highly recommended Sherwin Creek!

This is our third Year spending time at Sherwin Creek! Love the “remote” setting in the forest and easy access to the surrounding area. Of course your only a few miles to Mammoth and all the activities available.
This year my son brought the grandkids and stayed in a site close to ours,Awesome to say the least. He came in a day early and needed a place to park his rig. Tony and Debbie(Camp Hosts) went above and beyond to accommodate his needs and find a temporary site. They were the best hosts we’ve had, at the many places we’ve stayed over the years, making our 10 day stay unbelievable .
Shout out to the lower Camp Host Patty who also was responsive to our needs and helped make our stay pleasant!
