Mammoth Mountain RV Park

THERE R NO OTHER CHOICES WITH FULL HOOK UPS!
That being said, if u go to Mammoth and need hookups, stay there, otherwise STAY AWAY!
Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful place.
But staying in this RV Park is like camping in Los Angeles...... not suited for those of us who like peace & quiet.
We stayed here out of necessity! Will NOT do it again.
Whatever u do, don’t pick site 215..... every tent camper (and there’s plenty of them) washes their dishes right outside your door!!!! Very annoying!
The staff is nice and the RV Park convenient to town.

This is the only RV Park in Mammoth Lakes that has any hook-ups available, at all. We were really excited for the chance to get a site, since they’re so popular and booked out.

We were in a 50amp site, with water and dump. I’ve seen comments about the price being high but really feel like for what they had to offer, it was well worth it. Especially considering the price to stay anywhere else, in this town. (And I mean with all the same availability. It’s fully accommodated and nowhere else that’s less expensive has these options...) The site was surrounded by trees, clean and the facilities were really clean and safe! The showers were warm and bathrooms clean.

My kids were really happy to have the playground available and the bike path. There was so much to do, right there! The pool was warm and jacuzzi was great, after being on the mountain all day. We didn’t have a moment of boredom and that was the best feeling.
There’s a free shuttle that picks you up right at the park and takes you all over town! We were able to get to the Mountain first thing in the morning, with no headache. The WiFi seemed to work pretty well, but we didn’t use it very much and they had cable, so we were able to watch tv that way. Not that we were inside very much!

With all of that in mind my husband and I have also stayed here during a few of their big snow falls and it was a completely different experience. The prices were a bit less because only the 30amp part of the park was open. Those sites are on pavement, with not many trees around. They also don’t have dump at them but there’s a dump station you can use for free at the grounds. The water was also off. All of that seems pretty typical, if you’ve ever lived in the mountains for a while. The pipes would freeze and they have to keep people in the area they can plow. (Not under the trees.)
The few stays in the winter we’re great! They kept the roads plowed and we were able to borrow a shovel to get the snow off our camper before we left. (There was a lot of snow fall while we were there. We didn’t bring one on our 1st trip but knew to bring one on our 2nd trip. By the 3rd the snow was melting. We were there during 2 of the heavy snow falls during this “big year” for their snow.) Staying here instead of getting a hotel saved us a bundle! This town is super expensive and we were just staying to ski in the winter. (We were able to keep our heater on!)

This is a really small town and the RV Park is one of the first things you see. From there the grocery stores are right around the corner. There isn’t many options for shopping for necessities, so save some cash by bringing anything you might need with you. (We learned this the hard way when we didn’t bring chains and the town doesn’t have many places to offer them. The snow fall was a lot this year!) The most shopping is at the little town part “The Village” and the shops are cute but pricey. Restaurants, the mountain, the Village, lakes, trails and outdoors were all within about 4-5 miles of the park, which made everything super convenient.

There are bears! During our warm stay we saw one wandering through the grounds. Super cool to see and he didn’t stick around when he realized there were people. He seemed more interested the food. It was just another awesome experience us and our kids got to have, that we couldn’t have otherwise, since the other campgrounds were so limited.

I think I’ve heard the (friendly and helpful) office staff say they are under new management? I’d say keep it up! We’ll be staying again.

We payed $51.30 per night for electric hookup at our site. There was a water spigot and dump station available by the shower house but no full hookups at sites due to winter season. There is a pool and hot tub area which was nice, but I feel the price was overly estimated for what the sites had to offer. The showers were clean, had good water pressure, and hot. It was unfortunately the only place available with hookups at this time. I think the primitive camping sites are more in nature and slightly better for a more private camping experience. Also this is the only campground that I had been that hadn’t offered any sort of discount. No AAA, good Sam, senior, or anything at all. The location and access to Mammoth is the best perk it had to offer.

We usually stay in the National Forest for our visit to the area. Our favorite campground (and many others) were not open yet due to the amount of snow the area received during the winter.

Let's start with check-in. We arrived about 1:20 pm after a 7.5 hour drive. Went into office and there were 3 women chatting behind the counter. After waiting for acknowledgement, I had to actually say excuse me to ask about check-in. We were promptly told check-in isn't until 2 pm and they went back to their conversation. Keep in mind half the park was empty! Because of our dates, we had to have 2 separate reservations (check-out of site 1 and recheck into site 2 on day 6). We went to the office to make the arrangements to recheck-in, knowing we were probably going to have to move our RV, and were told check-in isn't until 2. What are we to do? There suggestion "go sight-seeing".

Cable never worked. We reported it to office on day 2. By day 6, still no cable service. (We really like watching the news for the area whenever we can.)

There are 2 different types of sites, Standard and Premium. Standard are in a parking lot situation with water, electricity, and cable. Premium sites are in the wooded, dirt section and also include sewer. The standard sites are well defined with parking lines. Premium sites are not well defined. We stayed in a premium site.

Our Premium site was relatively level but the dirt roads through the wooded area had potholes.

The restroom in the Premium area was well maintained. The only disadvantage to these were the showers. They had a push button that allowed water to flow for about 30 seconds. You have no control over the temperature of the water.

This campground is on the edge of town. Hospital is about 2 blocks away so you hear the sirens. Grocery is about 1 mile away. Skiing about 5 miles away.

Right at the edge of Mammoth Lakes which is a busy town but the campground was still quiet.

Good location for many activities. Jeeping, hiking, fishing, bike riding etc. We were in the asphalt parking area which only had electric and water. The wooded area has FHU including sewer. In the asphalt area the spaces were fairly wide but if you have slideouts on both sides you will need to park your tow vehicles in front of the RV so allow for the extra length. The wooded area sites vary because of the trees. Almost all sites are level and easy to get into. Check the event calendar because Mammoth has lots of big event. We were here during Mammoth Motocross which is a huge 10 day long event with tons of dirt bikers rolling into town. Park has pool, playground, showers, community dumpout, and propane, all clean and well managed. The main negative is the high price.
