Our group site (14) was spacious, clean, and had nice views. The camp host was extremely welcoming and the facilities were well maintained.

This is a yearly spot for us. Everyone is very helpful and bathroom are always clean. Close to town but still feels like camping in the forest. Will return. 😊

The campsite itself was nice and clean, but at night there was a group of people making a lot of noise, and the person in charge never did anything about it. The rules are clear, and there is someone in charge specifically to enforce them when people don't follow them. Many of us have children with us, and 2 a.m. is no time to be singing as if it were 7 p.m.

Beautiful and well maintained campground. The hosts were very friendly and despite it being a group campground, it was very quiet at night. I will definitely return to this campground in the future and highly recommend it.

Extremely spacious sites, clean facilities, and shady tree cover for cooler temps. The only thing to know is that it gets quite windy, and the wind rips up the dust at the sites, so we were caked in grime by the end of our stay.

We visited beginning of July. There are endless hiking trails and biking trails. Our campsite was next to one of those bike trails and a short walk to the trolley bus stop. Devil's Postpile is a must-do if visiting in the summer. I enjoyed hiking around the Lakes Basin and Hot Creek areas also.

Nice campground in the Mammoth Lakes area. There is currently a lot of forest thinning, noise, limited access, etc, near the campgrounds.

Right next to the Mammoth Lake Welcome Center, where the free trolley goes to many routes.

Due to the bears' activities, each site has a bear box.

Most sites are flat and pretty big, including a parking space. Very spacious between sites.

Very quiet and kind camp host!

Also right next to Shady Rest Campground, which has flush toilets.
Pine Glen Campground has vault toilets.

Shower - RV resort across from the welcome center, open from Thursday to Sunday.

Larry, the camp host was fantastic and very helpful. The problem with pine gland is the size of the site for larger travel trailers. Each side has railroad ties placed vertically around them making it difficult to get in and out. We had to dig one out to burn it and damage to our trailer and get into the site and out of the site. The sites are designed for nothing more than 30 feet max.
