Greatly kept site, close to hotsprings.

Delightful campground! Close to Mammoth, making it incredibly accessible. Well-maintained with clean bathrooms, flush toilets, and good running water. Plenty of sites, but be sure to reserve well in advance. Good mountain biking, hiking, lakes, and parks nearby.

Very relaxing campground. Serene, quiet, and clean. The sky at night is beautiful and the camp hosts and managers were all nice people and take their posts seriously. Fair warning though, the bears around Mammoth are VERY friendly. We were warned and given strict instructions by the fee collector about “bear-proofing” our campsite. We did take him seriously and did everything he asked, our only mistake was we thought bears would not approach if we were still out and about the campsite. Not the case. PLEASE take the bear regulations seriously and also lock up ALL food after sundown. My friend and I feel awful for contributing to the bear problem, but I’ll redeem myself by putting the word out about the problem. This goes for any camping in Mammoth, and bears are getting very crafty. Please take precautions!

It's a nice location, close to town and services, but old and outdated with many of the sites too small for today's average size RV making them difficult park. Like most Department of Agriculture; Forest Service campgrounds that are contracted out to third party vendors that double the camping fees but don't maintain the park.

Really nice camp ground! There were plenty of spots when i was there. Lots of tall lovely pine trees. It was pretty cheap too, fire pits and flush toilets. I really enjoyed my stay there! It's also close to town. Just be careful setting up tents, there were a few ant holes around.
