The camp host was very kind. She welcomed us to the campground and shared information about the area. The campground restroom was clean and the campsite was well maintained. Beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed our time here.

Chanced upon this spot available for 1 night only. It was an excellent spot - close to the restroom, water faucet, and a few yards from the great vistas of the lake. Wish it was available for more nights. It was, only for 1 night. Our table was shaded by one nearby tree. Great experience over-all.

Lake view and double wide parking spot. Wish I was able to stay longer. Close enough to walk down to the lake and launch a sup or kayak. Probably about 300ft from lake Mary

Grand emplacement presque plat avec de l'ombre et facile d'accès. Hosts sympathiques. Le lac est au bout du site ce qui est très agréable ! Le point négatif a été des voisins très irrespectueux qui ont amené leur chien faire pipi sur l'arbre dans mon espace à côté de la table pour manger ! De plus ils ont été très bruyants.

Clean campground with excellent views. The bathrooms were spotless and cleaned. The campsite was well maintained and the hosts were all very very nice, and helpful. Will be back again.

Mammoth is a wonderful place.,
Only real disappointment was choice of campsite.
Site 39 & 40 should be 1 site.
Fire rings are split by one rock 5’ away.
Tent site is 15’ from restroom door.
Absolutely no privacy the entire time spent at camp.
