Older RV Park with decent facilities. Definitely not spacious or level sites. Gravel driveway with limited pull throughs. But, quiet and clean. Cash or check only.

Very clean. Beautiful location with access to everything like yosemite and mammoth, so peaceful there under the hills. What more do you want.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stay, but keep your eyes on the skies! I pulled into Mono Vista RV Park just looking for a quiet place to hook up the rig for the night, and it absolutely delivered on that front. The grounds are incredibly clean, the spaces are well-maintained, and the staff was super friendly during check-in. The proximity to Mono Lake is fantastic for some evening photography. However, things got weird around 2:00 AM. I woke up to a strange, low-frequency humming noise and a blinding blue light filtering through my RV blinds. Before I could even grab my flashlight, I experienced total sleep paralysis and felt myself being physically levitated right through the ceiling vent. The next three hours are a bit of a blur involving a pristine, sterile examination room, some grey-skinned beings with massive black eyes, and a comprehensive, albeit highly invasive, medical check-up. They were quite professional, though they didn't speak a word of English (purely telepathic). They dropped me back off right next to my picnic table at exactly 5:14 AM. I was a little sore and completely missing my left sock, but honestly, I slept like a baby for the remaining two hours of the morning. Pros: Excellent Wi-Fi (even under the tractor beam). Spotless bathrooms. Beautiful mountain views. Cons: Unscheduled biological sampling. Minor memory loss. Would definitely stay again, but next time I'm sleeping with a tinfoil hat on. Highly recommend if you want great views and an unforgettable out-of-this-world experience!

The campsite is in a great location. It had everything we needed for our motorhome. The receptionist was very kind and welcoming, always smiling. There was also a map of Europe where I could mark that I had come from Hungary. Thank you for letting us spend the night here. We will definitely recommend this campsite to everyone!

We stayed at this quaint park with our travel trailer for two nights while exploring the Eastern Sierras. We had a pull-through site with full hookups under (what I think were) quaking aspen trees. The sites are gravel and ours was level. There is a non-fenced dog walk area. They don't have an online reservation system, so you must call to book. Also, they only take cash or checks--no credit cards. We booked fairly close to our arrival date, so we paid in full upon arrival. Given enough lead time before arrival they ask you to mail in a deposit to secure your spot.
