Nice, quiet and feels secluded, even though your only 2 miles from town.

The hosts were so helpful when we realized it was going to be very difficult to switch sites when we were rock climbing early I. The morning. They found us a perfect site that we could move into a day early. So helpful and friendly

Sherwin Creek did not disappoint. Site 76 was amazing and represented what the epitome of camping should be. We were close to the other sites, but far enough removed to have our own privacy and our own private access to the creek! Other campers you could tell wanted to explore our site to see the creek, but were nice enough to respect our site. We were able to set up hammocks right by the water, so lovely. One of the best sites ever in my opinion. The only down side, is you may not have easy access to the world-class hikes near Mammoth Lakes. However, I did not have a chance to explore, so there may be other hikes nearby. The hosts were very friendly and the facilities were clean.

It's a LONG dirt road to get there, but it's pretty nice! Sometimes, the bathrooms smell amazing. No joke. Great camp hosts.

We were actually at this site for 10 days (added one extra day later) and everything was great. Good weather, few bugs, no bears. Big family shared two sites. Bathrooms were clean and no trouble with anything.

I wish they would hook up to Mammoth’s sewer and have flush toilets.

I have camped here every summer for 20 years and it’s truly a shame that the ATV/quad owners in giant RVs have ruined the experience over the last few years. They run their generators all night, play loud music, and speed around the campground on their ATVs late into the night. All of this is against the rules but the management/hosts do not do anything about it. This beautiful campground has become just an unsupervised RV park for entitled people.

Nice campground. Much quieter than the Shady Rests coming into town. Great proximity to trailheads & amenities that Mammoth has to offer. Only wish people would figure out how to drive SLOW through campgrounds.
