Very pretty camp ground, dryer than the one near town, lot of ATV off roads rigs if you like it

The camp hosts are wonderful and so friendly! The bathroom was well maintained, considering it is a vault toilet. Parking was easy, and the sound of the nearby creek was a delight.
Only issues of note: Our site has a lack of trees, and the traffic coming down the nearby road into the campground at night shines headlights directly into the tents.

First time camping here. The campground is very well kept. The camp site was very clean from the fire pit to the ground being raked. We stayed an extra night and the hosts were able to get us in a spot. Very friendly! Some of the Rv spots are very narrow and more difficult for 2 cars.

I camped at Sherwin Creek campground as a home base for dual sport motorcycle riding. It's a great location for this as it is centrally located to the vast trail system around Mammoth as well as the town itself. The campground hosts did a great job and the bathrooms were kept very clean.

Quiet and clean campground with great hosts! These sites can be a little challenging to get level in but if you know which one works, it's great.

Camp can be dusty but it is well run. Hosts talked to couple inconsiderate generator operators ( literally 24 hours) with huge RV's and they responded well. Appreciate them looking after the rules.

Feels deep in the forest while being 10 minutesish from town. Usually reserve by one of the lakes or at the currently closed McGee creek, but late season decision required something different. Sherwin has been a dependable go to in the late reservation situation. Caught many trout and slept great on the trip. Recommended.
