We had an amazing time enjoying the camp ground, among the few during snowy weather. Ron is a great host and we had an excellent time meeting Karen as well. Looking forward to another trip soon!

Try to book one of the sites on the outside of the ring as opposed to the inside and close to the washroom. There will be more room even if the walk to the toilet is longer.

Surprised to find flush toilets, lots of paved walking trails with a regular shuttle and a nice lake with some activities. Excellent start gazing. Great spot. Will go back.

Any time you can camp is wonderful but some of the sites need some serious rearranging
They were originally set up for tent camping and are to narrow for my little 16 ft trailer and my car

Camp site was great my family and I rented a canoe and a pontoon boat which was awesome the views from the water were beautiful. The store at the lake is very limited so be sure to buy all your last minute supplies in town. Bears where in and around the camp site my whole trip be sure to properly lock your bear locker

For current fire conditions or weather closures contact the Mammoth Lakes Visitor Center, (760) 924-5500, or the Mono Lakes Visitor Center, (760) 647-3044.
- Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
