Sherwin Creek

Wonderful campground. We almost cancelled due to negative reviews about noise, but it wasn't at all a problem when we were there. There was stream right behind our campsite which was so nice to sit by.

We loved this campsite, and the night-time sounds of running water. Campsite 008 is only a short walk from the parking.... right next to a stream... and even though the entire campground was pretty full, this location felt quiet and very much in nature.
Note that you're within sightlines of 2-3 other camps, but everyone was quiet and polite, and you're far enough not to hear each other unless folks shout.
within short walk of trash and toilets, but not close enough to smell them :)

Only complaint was that the camp host walked up to talk without a mask and acted annoyed when we asked her to put it on.

Keep your food locked up. Resident bear tried to get in our rig during the night through an open window, tearing the screen. RV in next site got ransacked during the day by bear looking for snacks. Beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Great location. Nice staff.

Upon arriving the weather was cold and some snow was falling. I spoke to the camp host about my reservation needing to stay in one camping site for two days and moving to a second camp site for four days. Will, the camp host, was able to find a campsite for me to stay all six days without having to relocate after two days. I greatly appreciated his understanding of my situation and he was able to accommodate me as best he could and provide excellent customer service. Sherwin Camp is a great central location to Crowley Lake, Owens River, June Lakes loop, , Rock Creek, Convict Lake and other trout fishing destinations. The town of Mammoth Lakes is within two miles away and has all the restaurants and stores for your convenience. As a result, I had a great experience with other friends that I met up with at Sherwin Camp.

The camp host kept the restrooms clean, which is great. Unfortunately, there were some drunk people in the campsite next to ours which awoke us around midnight. I was unsure if I should notify the camp host at that hour.

Far from lakes town and roads are not paved

We went to the campground and had a very hard spot to park in. Our trailer is only 30’ long. Our friend, on the other hand, has a longer trailer and couldn’t fit anywhere. She had previously called to make sure her trailer would fit and they (recreation.gov) confirmed she would have space. That was not the case. We traveled 5 hours to get there with 6 other trailers and we had to move from the campground, luckily we found a campground that had spots. The Camp host was very rude and not helpful at all. We called recreation.gov to see if we could get some money back for the days we weren’t staying there anymore and they said we had to talk to our host. They said he would have a phone number to call to help us. He told us, “you don’t deserve a refund, it’s your fault you don’t fit.” I thought he could have been so much nicer when he talked to us. The night we were having a hard time parking, we knocked on his door to see if our friend could stay in an opened spot (not a marked site) until the morning to move, he opened the door in his underwear in front of my friend’s 13 year old daughter, and said “this better be good!” Such a horrible experience!
