Campground was clean and ready and I was able to access all facilities. Generators and loud campers were slightly disruptive and bears throughout the night made it slightly less peaceful although both were anticipated given the popularity and location of the campground.

Any campground in mammoth is gonna be gorgeous, lake Mary has some nice amenities though. The camp store and showers are always nice, large bear boxes at every site too. Walking distance to the lake(s). Can get pretty busy though.

Such a great campground with beautifully clean bathrooms. I had site 32 and it was a quick walk down the hill to reach the lake. Mostly surrounded by bushes but there’s a few small openings to send out a kayak or paddleboard into the water.

Had sites 1-4. Was an absolutely incredible location and with the 4 spots it was like we had our own private campground. Up on a small hill with incredible views and right by the restrooms. Restrooms were very clean. Beware lots of bear activity. We had a bear at our site 2 out of 3 nights but no issues at all. Was an incredible experience

The site was beautiful- right on Lake Mary, and walking distance to Lake George, Mamie Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. Best campground bathrooms, clean with running water. The host Karen was lovely. We had a great time.

We took our first family camping trip at Lake Mary and had a blast! The bathrooms were cleaned and cared for multiple times a day and campsites cared for and picked up before new campers arrive. The lake and mountain vistas are gorgeous and we enjoyed visiting neighboring lakes during our stay for some wonderful exploring and fishing.

Beautiful campground with a view of the lake at every turn. Camp hosts are absolutely delightful, welcoming and informative.
Only negative is the next camp group parked in our spot and made it difficult to break down in the last hour. Check out is at 12pm and check in at 2pm. They just sat and watched us.
