Great location but … Cows

This is a great spot for fishing, might be easier to book than many of the Forest Service Campgrounds because it’s privately owned and run. Absolutely no shade. We tented but with family who had an RV but we didn’t really stay in the area during the day, which is why this campground gets the stars for location. Super close to Mammoth or Crowley, Not far up 395 to other points of interest, or back to Bishop. But many come here for the fishing. We had a problem with free ranging cattle. First night they were on the opposite bank, lots of mooing in the early AM. But the next night, a calf got separated from the herd across the river and they were noisy and agitated and in our campsite so that was an early AM annoyance. Staff at the store super nice, but your ice, cold drinks, fishing tackle or ice cream bars there.
