Mammoth Mountain RV Park

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.

We absolutely loved our stay. Our site was wide enough for our 33 foot rig and truck. Huge park with plenty of trails to walk. Family friendly with a pool and a great jacuzzi. Office staff was very friendly. Though we had water and electric, we did not have sewer but did t mind as the the super clean bathroom and laundry were 40 feet from our spot. Highly recommend as you can walk to town and get anything you need within a 2 mile radius.

I get it… it’s a pricey RV park, but everything is pricey here in Mammoth, gas was over $5 a gallon when we were here.
We had power and water that did not fail and that was good enough for our stay. Bathrooms/Showers were clean, check-in was easy, getting into our spot was easy, lot was pretty level.
We used this as our base camp to explore the surrounding area, so being relatively close to the 395 was great. We took the Jeep to Bridgeport and Bodie to the north and 4 wheeled on many of the OHV roads in the area. The weather was perfect in early June, we only encountered snow blocking the trail at only the highest elevations (Laurel Lakes).
If there was a negative it was our proximity to the hospital next door; that place was making some racket which I never noticed during the day but at night I heard plenty of it, which sounded like electrical motors or fans running, it was loud enough to need to close the windows and fan vents at night.

You’re close to town and the showers are very clean with nice hot water, polite staff...but I was really surprised by the cost. $74 for a ‘parking lot’ type of space (water & electric), $91 for a spot in the trees (full hookups).
There’s a small playground for children (swings & a climbing set up for older kids), the pool is currently still closed during COVID (as of June 2021).

We visited in early May, there was no snow on the ground, but we were given a spot in the paved area. We noticed that there were plenty of others camping in the more scenic and wooded dirt campground areas and would have preferred to be there. Still, because there weren’t a lot of people, everyone was spaced out and we didn’t feel cramped. The Wifi was GREAT! T-Mobile service was good. Campsite had a fire ring, but tables have been removed due to Covid. Other than electricity and water hook-ups at the site and the dump on the way out, we didn’t use the other facilities. Would stay here again for the hook-ups, but would like to try New Shady Rest across the road when it’s open.

We absolutely loved this place. Clean bathrooms, reasonable laundry prices, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I managed to lose my key before the office was open, I told them I could figure something out yet they still sent one out to make us a new key plus an extra, and they brought it to our site! The dump and water stations were helpful, and the campground is only 10 minutes from Mammoth mountain, with a Starbucks right down the street and groceries and restaurants within a mile or 2. This is the perfect place to stay if you like a more established campground, or if you’re like us and you want a place to camp during winter and need the hookups for heat!

Oh, and their WiFi actually worked decently for us!

We stayed here a little over a week. Our first few days were in site 207 which was nice with full hookups. It is right by the highway but we didn’t seem bothered by the noise, you kind of get used to it. We ended up extending our stay so we had to move to another site (50). This one is on the asphalt and while it wasn’t as nice as the dirt sites, it wasn’t that bad. It was worth it for us to be able to stay an extra week in the Sierras! The sites clean, as well as the amenities. We did laundry there and had no complaints. The best part of this campground is its location to town. We didn’t have another vehicle to get around, so since it’s so close to town, we could walk or ride our bikes everywhere! The bike path goes right by the campground. We loves it so much here, we are already coming back next August! Highly recommend this place! Staff was also super nice and accommodating!
