The camp hosts were great people. We had a very good experience in this campsite. The vault toilets are as clean as can be given the type. Very accessible to the town and the highway. Highly recommended

The campground is beautiful and site 84 was a perfect spot. The creek runs behind the site and you can hear it at night. The site is a short walk away from the restrooms, a water spigot, and camp hosts. The camp hosts Debbie and Tony are absolutely the kindest people, they helped me out when my car needed to stay in the shop for 1.5 days. The site was clean and the restrooms were kept clean as well. 100% will be returning in the future.

The location is perfect! Quiet, relaxing, just the trees, the sound of the creek and birds.
June Lake is 25 minutes away so that made a perfect activity for one of the days we spent at the campground.
The host, Debbie, she is wonderful! I can tell she works hard trying to keep everyone safe and happy. Checking if we needed anything else and trying to accommodate everyoneβs needs.
The bathrooms were clean on schedule on when needed.
This place is a little piece of heaven!
Thank you Debbie π

Clean campsite, attentive hosts, close enough to Mammoth to be accessible but far enough away that itβs quiet. Sherwin Lake hike was beautiful and well worth the moderate effort. Would recommend and plan to return!

Many of the sites are not level - prepare your trailer with lots of blocks to level - good campground and camp hosts overall

The camp grounds were very nice, located down from the main sections of mammoth so it was a little less crowded and more quiet. The camp grounds themselves where surrounded by trees with plenty of shade, they provide bear boxes for each site, potable water through out the site, the bathrooms were clean. There were a few bears that roamed around at night but this is pretty typical for mammoth so plan accordingly with your food and snacks. Overall a nice campground, the hosts were friendly and made sure everyone stayed quiet when the quiet hours hit.

Great campground close to town but so so quiet. Our site was great for our travel trailer but it's also got some great spots for tents, too. Bathrooms in campground were very clean!
