Mono Vista RV Park

I gave this location 1 star because the facilities are nice for many reasons. However, my experience was poor. The staff was rude, curt and cold. Their website is vague and missing a lot of information. When I emailed questions, even though they did answer them, it seemed as if I was a burden. Upon checking in the next morning, the man did not acknowledge me NOR look at me and the woman seemed annoyed at my presence. It was as if they were angry I was even there. They only take cash payments. I was so put off by their treatment of me, we found another site for two nights. They refused to refund us even though they were renting our already paid spot to additional guests - so, they were charging two guests for the site when only one was staying there. They put my reservation and night check-in envelope in the wrong name. It is not possible to get someone to communicate with outside of 8am-5pm. They require full payment up front or threaten to give your space away and refuse refunds. They demanded to have their shower tokens back even though they would not refund me for two nights I did not stay there and rented my already paid spot out to other guests. So, we stayed at another campground and went back to take our showers there and refill our water containers in the process. I threw the other remaining tokens in the trash. I have never been treated this way at any establishment. The office staff are just angry at life and want to make others miserable in the process.

Price was not bad, but you must have buy tokens to use showers from the office, and office is only open from 8-5. “Dog run” is a trail leading into the brush. Place is clean, some sites are very close together, some not. Tent sites are on a slope, so I would not recommend tent camping. RV sites are fairly level. Note- they only take cash or check.

My second stay here and just as delightful as 8 years ago. Would have given it 5 stars, but the showers could use a bit of a facelift. But the vibe at the RV Park is wonderful, the hosts are gracious, and you can't beat the location for checking out cool hiking around Yosemite. Nice laundry facility, good hot showers. My rate was for Water and Electric only.

We wanted to get away for the 4th of July and Mono Vista had a cancellation so we grabbed it. It's a very pleasant, green, tree shaded park next to town. We got great sunset photos right in the park, walked to dining, shops and museum. Watched fishermen use the fish cleaning station and helped a French family use the dump station for the first time in their rented Class C. We had the canoe on the Samurai so we drove up Tioga Pass to Yosemite four times for boating and hiking. A peaceful spot to enjoy the holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mono Vista. We had only water and electric, the FHU sites were booked the days we were there. We stayed 13 nights. It is in a great location, very clean, friendly staff, laundry on site, great cell service and a beautiful view of Mono Lake. It is walking distance to any of the stores and restaurants in Lee Vining, it's right on the north end of town. The bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities were very clean. The owners are constantly rolling around in their golf carts to pick up the trash from the cans, moving sprinklers around (very nice green, manicured grass) and one time they had to turn off the water for 15 min for a quick fix of an issue, and they notified everyone of their plans and the exact time they would do this. We really appreciated this. We will stay here again, for sure, if we are ever in the area.

We chose this park as there wasn't anything else with electric. We could only get a W/E site, but the park does have some FHU sites. The park is very tight in most areas. We had a pull through site but with our slides out, we went from one side of our space to the other and the site is very unlevel, as are many sites. The front row of FHU sites are on gravel with grass between and are a little better spaced than our area. The best area is the few back-in side on the north side of the park. They have a beautiful mountain view our front and a partial lake view in the back, as well as a small grass area outside the door. You can also use a roof top satellite dish here. These sites are W/E only. While we didn't use the showers, we were offered tokens for five minutes of hot water. You are allowed one token a person each day of your stay. There is no WiFi and no cable. The park is heavily treed so roof top dishes usually don't work in most areas. However, we have a portable dish that we used from the front of our MH. If we were to return to the general area, we would stay in Mammoth Lakes area. The RV Parks are much nicer.
