This is our third year to visit this campsite. We stay in our 28 Ft Toy hauler and on occasion we bring our Jeep to explore the many lakes and streams. Some of the camp sites are hard to get in but we always had help from the very friendly staff. We like the fact that this area is close to Town whereas one can conveniently resupply your provisions and when we don’t feel like cooking we can hit the restaurants in Mammoth.
Hi there. We have campsite 015 booked – i can’t tell can we pull up in our car with our very small teardrop?
So, for the campsite #15, were you able to pull your car in to the site or you had to carry all the camping gears for about 75 feet?
