Our decision to stay at the only available winter camping spot close to Mammoth Mountain felt like a necessary evil. Had the swimming area and bathing facilities been maintained properly, the cost could have been rationalized. However, it felt like we were taken advantage of! The cleanliness of the pool and showers was appalling. The camping spots were situated on uneven tarmac. We have no plans to return and wouldn't suggest it to others.

We enjoyed ourselves here, we were only planning a week here then move to Twin Lakes but decided not to. Perfect location for walking into town, close to bike path and golf course. The campsites are very spaced out, The best are full hookups in the middle of campground. The bathrooms were very clean and the staff was very easy to work with.

We loved the location of the CG but there are several different areas and types of sites, which I didn’t understand when booking. We were in Site 70 at the top west part of the CG. It’s literally a asphalt paved parking lot with water and electric. Our friends were down in the premium sites which are much more attractive set among the pine trees but they also get very muddy in the rain. (Our site was much cheaper in the parking lot area.) The bathroom showers in the parking lot area were always gross. We started using the showers at our friends’ section which are all private bathrooms and much cleaner. Overall we would stay here again and in the parking lot because it’s convenient and fairly cheap.

I understand that everything is overpriced at Mammoth. But spots in the NF campground across the street are $28, $14 for America the beautiful pass holders. Our $75 got us a piece of asphalt in a parking lot. Across the street were nice large sites. Of course we had electric and water and that obviously has value. Many reviews stated very clean, nice restrooms. Our experience was they were a little dirty and my wife had two nights of cold showers. Note this was July and the place was very busy, so perhaps their systems just couldn’t meet the demand. Of course the good is you can ride your bike to town, and the area has tons of great stuff to do! The checkin was easy and the checkin person just delightful. She showed us pictures of a bear that wanders through camp. So cute! Note: no bear sittings when we were there. My $0.02 is dry camp across the street, which is what we are planning for next time.

Asphalt lot. Water and electric only. Full was not available. We had no reservation as it was after Labor Day and didn’t feel the need.
