About Mammoth Cabin

The Mammoth Guard station is located at 8,600 feet in elevation. There are two cabins on the grounds. The Mammoth Cabin was built on site while the Lake Cabin was moved to the site from its original location in the 1980s. Both cabins were constructed in the 1930s serving as forest ranger and fire crew dwellings for many years. The cabins overlook a wide expanse of sagebrush valleys with timbered slopes and ridgelines. The grounds that cabins are located is also an active administrative site. Visitors can expect to see Forest Service personnel using the grounds adjacent to the cabins. Travel Trailers and RVs are not permitted at this facility. If others are seeking to be close to your group during your reservation they should look at the nearby campgrounds at Gooseberry Group Campground and Gooseberry Reservoir.

Fantastic Location. Absolutely beautiful setting and the amenities are an added bonus for a ranger station. Less time setting up a tent in the wilderness so more time doing things!

Both cabins are nicely set up with pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. Be prepared to cut your own firewood as not much is supplied generally. Hot and cold running water is very nice, as is having a shower and flush toilet. No refrigerator in either cabin and the oven in both cabins are not easy to use. Mammoth's is temperamental and the lake cabin's doesn't seem to work at all. No cell service
