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

Beautiful park, and although the park was near full, it didn't feel like it was overrun with parties and partiers. Very family friendly. Would definitely stay there again. Also, it is just outside Mammoth Lakes ski town, so gas and restaurants are close by. Not remote, so few stars, but still in a very beautiful area.

The campsite was very nice, the host was lovely. The issue is people with generators, they turn them on at 6.30am. They are inside their large RV with A/C running with doors & windows closed and pointing their smelly noisy generator at out tent.
Arriving back at the campsite around 5pm to the same noise & smell, we asked politely if they would mind turning it off while we eat dinner, NO. Would you mind moving it to the other side of you RV , NO. Nest time it will be a campsite that does not allow generators.
Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful area, would definitely recommend Duck Lake Hike ( Very Strenuous) and a bike ride up Lake Mary Road. Also some great kayaking.

Restrooms were clean, potable water easily available, hosts were fantastic, fellow campers were courteous. The sites (66, 73) were nice, not too close to others and somewhat shady, though that would vary from site to site.

Pitched my tent at Site #70 which is across from one of the camp hosts and the appreciatively clean restroom - good location and spacious. Fairly quiet campground with easy access from/to town. Great location close to the trailhead to Valentine Lake. Would stay here again.

Site 45 gets direct sun during the day and was very hot. Also, it was a tight fit to back my 20’ trailer into the site with my Tundra truck. Campground feels like remote camping with all the dirt roads and large pine trees. Sites are standard so neighbors are next to you. Campground was only 5 minutes from Vons which was convient.
