Old Shady Rest Campground

They force you to work overtime but they WILL NOT PAY YOU OT THEY WILL JUST SAY YOU WEREN'T MOVING FAST ENOUGH. But then if you move faster they just make up other things. 24 hours a day of something happened in your assigned park they blame you. Hey the company will lie to you and say you aren't on call 24 7. And hey don't expect help from the"supervisor' she tell you"it's too late" at 8pm for her to help even though she's 200' away. All of the toilets flood the bathroom even though they have been told 1000 times. And of course the guests blame the host. But take a look next door at new shady rest and the bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in YEARS. Hard to keep up with 6 flooding bathrooms and do your job. The only reason they get business is close to town and yes you will hear traffic all night. Then they force you to collect an 8 dollar fee for extra vehicles which every single camper gets mad about and blames the host. Fix your system and stop making the host the middle man for your 8 dollar fee. AND THAT'S THE JUST START. Videos and audio recordings of management lying and berating employees coming soon.

Have been here less than 24 hours. Large sites well separated from each other. Cement road up to campsite. Only downside is it is very close to Mammoth Lake township, so can hear traffic during the daytime. At night it is completely silent, no city lights visible. Overall great site, reminds me of Minocqua, WI where I grew up camping.

The location was amazing!!! I could walk to a few shops if I wanted. It was so close to some really amazing hikes! It was the best of both worlds being outdoors and having modern luxuries close by. The site itself was pretty great. Level, kind of dusty, plenty of space between campsites, bear box that was much needed. I did have a bear on my site, but thankfully he moved on to the site across the way that had left out food (shame on them!)
The campground itself did not have showers which was a huge bummed. Camp host didn’t have a list of showers close by but a fellow camper did. Overall, I felt pretty meh about the campground.

This camp spot was $25 a night. There were about 4 open spots on a Monday night when we rolled in. It was packed and there were people everywhere. For that reason I would go somewhere else in the future.

The Mammoth Scenic Loop has hundreds of free campsites. I’d hate for someone to waste money when there’s free camping right down the street.

I had a site that was one the outer edge- only open space and a trail behind me and it was wonderful. There was lots of space between the sites and a very quiet campground for being so close to town. I do imagine it would be different if you were in one of the sites closer to the populated area.

super close and accessable to Mammoth (5min walk to the main road, 30min walk/5 min drive to the brewery). clean bathrooms, lots of water spouts close by. shady trees to camp under and put up hammocks and slack lines. you can hear street traffic at night. the sites in the mid 20s to upper 30s are right along a fence next to a residental area, that was a little wierd. overall decent place to stay. lots of cell service.

Near a park, easy access to off road trails, close to town but far enough out to have some peace and quiet.

close enough to town to keep up with regular activities; sits on the off-road network of mammoth's wood sections. can't beat the shade, no creeks or lakes but a nice place to take in the climate. skatepark, park, baseball fields near by
