Sites were reserved with several no shows. Our site 72 was not RV friendly due to the slope so we moved several times to open sites.
Many reserved sites remained open with no shows whi CC h we sure would have loved to occupy if people would cancel properly

Thank You, Rebecca for being such an amazing host. We loved our stay! Campground was well taken care of, every site is good here. Close to town but still in the woods. Water yes, RV dump no.

Wonderful location. When Mary and Twin are bustling with traffic and water sports, Sherwin is a peaceful option. You cross a scrub-brushy treeless plain going east from Mammoth and leave the zany condo-land behind, drop down into a wooded area by Sherwin Creek, and you’re a world apart. It feels like wilderness camping and yet it’s only 10 minutes away from the busy town. Camp hosts are wonderful, bathrooms and sites are cared for well. We were near the creek, a site in the loop to the left, site numbers in the 70s. Very nice. I did not visit the walk-in tent sites, but walked all the other loops where RVs and other tenters camp. Sites laid out well, some pose leveling challenges for RVs, though ours was fine. From Sherwin you can visit the lakes, the ski lodge and gondola, the shops downtown, and yet not have to live in the din. Drive back to camp and it’s Ah, Wilderness!

The bathrooms need a good cleaning and badly needed an emptying. They were beyond full and smelly. Worst I've ever encountered
