      Browns Campgrounds

      Good spot

      Good: friendly staff, hot showers, nice big trees, level sites, close to town Not Good: need to pay extra for shower and dump station.

      Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground

      Good spot! Close to east end of Mammoth and plenty to do on-site!

      Stayed here for a week. Great spot for the family while I worked. Plenty for the kids and family to do and a great location close enough to bike/walk to most stores on the east end of town. 

      Our reservation said 50 amp partial hookups. But only the full-hookup sites have 50 amp. Partial hookups are 30amp with water, but the water access depends on the weather/season you're there in. We had to fill up with Fresh Water before we got to our site but it's in a convenient spot so not too big of a deal. 

      It is a parking lot but there was plenty of space for us and our SUV. Pool and Laundry Mat/Showers were close as well which made things nice. Starbucks is a short walk away too if that's your jam. 

      Great spot just make sure to call so there's no surprises with water/hookups etc. 

      Amenities: Pool & Jacuzzi / Laundry Mat / Showers & Bathrooms / Dump Station / Playground.

      Junction Campground

      Great camping for extended trips

      This camp ground is smaller relative to some of the other camping options in the area, but still well maintained. It is close to the road but still quiet. Each site has a table, fire ring, and a food storage locker. There are two vault toilets. Bring your own water. You cannot reserve sites ahead of time.

      If you want to experience the Yosemite area with your dog, camping in the Inyo National Forest is a great option, because dogs are allowed to join you anywhere you go in the area, as long as they are leashed or well trained to verbal commands. Since the Yosemite NPS does not allow dogs on trails, these national forest campgrounds are a better pet-friendly alternative.

      If you like fishing, there are great fishing spots at the nearby stream and lake.

      Because this campground is actually a part of the national forest, you can stay here for up to two weeks, in addition to the two week maximum enforced for camping within the NPS limits. So in total you could can stay in "Yosemite" for a month by combining camping at this site (or other nearby national forest sites) with camping inside the park, which is why we stayed here for a long rock climbing trip.

      Highlands RV Park

      Pretty cool park

      Highlands RV park is pretty cool. They offer many pull through spots and the back-in ones are located along the permitter of the park. A nice green area for your kids or dogs to explore. They even have a small pond out front. The spots are very well maintained, dirt sections and a concrete slab with picnic table. Due to Covid the facilities are closed, i.e. rek room, bathrooms, showers, however their onsite laundry was still available. At one end of the park they offer a fish station for your catch of the day. All in all it was a very well maintained park close to shops and restaurants. It was a little far to go from here to June Lake or Mammoth. We had a great trip, I’d definitely come back here again.

      Lake George Campground

      Love Lake George!

      Lake George was the perfect camp spot for our 4 night stay. It is first come first serve. We stayed in site 14 - the mountain side or tree side is better because it’s not windy at all! All the spots with lake view are very windy and it can be cold even in the summer! The bathrooms are super clean and have real toilets. No showers though! There is lots to do in the area and Lake George isn’t nearly as busy as Lake Mary/ Pine City camp. Although there is day use areas and it can be busy with fishing. Lots of wildlife in the area, so use the Bear box and keep food in containers. Even the chipmunks, birds, and mice will get into your stuff. I saw chipmunks trying to break into tents. This site is small RV/Trailer friendly - we stayed in our truck camper. This is NOT for big rigs or class A RVs. Also no hookups but they have a water spyket. Beware of elevation if you are not used to it - it’s at a whopping 9,250 feet and I was sick for 2 days. It’s $34 a night and quiet hours are 10pm-6am. Generators are aloud just not during quiet hours. Bring your paddle board or kayak and hit the water! It’s so beautiful here.

      the Inn at Benton Hot Springs

      Hot springs on the border

      Arrived today and already in the tub. Pleasant staff and easy check-in. Turn outs and pull through large enough for big rigs bit maybe not at every site. Really nice place. Quaint and lovely

      Aspen Campground

      Nice fall camping spot near Yosemite and Mono Lake

      Fall color and camping in the Sierra is what we we were after. This gem of a campground did not disappoint on the color and its location made it easy to explore the Mono Lake area since there's no camping in that area.

      • Beautiful aspens with rushing river surrounded by high peaks. Lots of fishers were taking advantage of the river. 

      • Sites are very close and pretty small. There were a few sites that accommodated the few Class C and larger travel trailers that came through, but the turns in the loops were tight. Less experienced drivers might be challenged. 

      • Many (most) sites are not very level and/or sloped. 

      • Super quiet and dark at night. Star gazing was amazing. 

      • Bears are very active. One camper had their car window broken and door frame bent because they had left something in the front seat. Another camper told us a bear walked through her site while she was sitting near the campfire but was easily scared off. 

      • Not a lot of hiking without getting in your car but the dirt road connecting to the other campground (Big Bend) wasn't busy so served as a good walking trail to exercise our dogs. 

      • Good location to access Lee Vining (groceries, fuel, restaurants, laundry) and explore the phenomenal Mono Lake area. 

      • Water available but at a central spigot at the entrance. 

      • No Verizon cell service but good signals down the road at the Mobil station and excellent free wi-fi at the Mono Lake visitors center both in Lee Vining. 

      Nice little first-come campground. It was almost full by 4 pm each night we were there. We'd consider it again but only in shoulder season. Getting a spot in peak season seems challenging.

      Convict Lake Campground

      Pleasant Spring Surprise

      Paved 2.5 mile road from 395 to campground and paved roads in campground/sites good condition. Approx. 1/2 sites close to level for 24' RV... 1/2 better suited for car/tent camping. Good clean flush toilets. Picnic tables / bear lockers in good condition. Hosts sell $10 firewood bundles. Sites are below lake but most still have nice view of mountains that surround lake. Generator hours till 10pm but thankfully only hear sounds of nature at 7pm. Nice mostly level walk around lake. $35/night... $17.50 with Senior Pass.

      Coldwater Campground

      Mammoth Lakes offers it all and then some!

      CAMPGROUND REVIEW: Coldwater Campground, Mammoth Lakes, CA

      A beautiful 77 site campground nestled in at over 9,000 ft in the Inyo National Forest of the Eastern Sierras.

      Amenities: large sites, modern restrooms spaced throughout the camp (two unisex doors, includes one sink with running cold water, a flush toilet, and metal mirror), water spigots near the latrines.

      Each site has a large picnic table, a fire pit with sliding cook grate, a double door bear cabinet and small paved parking pad.

      We chose site 66, as it sprawled to s mountain stream, nestled in shaded pines, had a couple flat tent spots and was relatively close to restrooms and water.

      No electric, no showers (nearby Twin Lakes Campground Store rents shower time at $7.00…one person per shower.

      Coldwater Campground is a short drive from Mammoth Lakes, which has all you should need or desire.

      The trails from the back of Coldwater Campground go up, up, up…but offer spectacular mountain views, glacier lakes, picturesque alpine meadows, waterfalls and cascades. A short drive and bus ride away are trails to Iconic Rainbow Falls and Devil’s Postpile, among other ridiculously beautiful mountain trails!

      Mountain bike trails are innumerable…and the paved multi-use trails are stellar and travel for miles. https://www.visitmammoth.com/blogs/top-5-xc-mountain-bike-trails-near-mammoth-lakes

      There are rentals nearby for every sportsman. This is the active person’s Mecca! Also close-by is Mammoth Ski area that offers the downhill mountain bikers absolute Nirvana, during summer months.

      https://www.mammothmountain.com/summer/bike-park-overview/mammoth-bike-park/mammoth-bike-park

      At $24 a night, this seems to be the standard rate for this region…and that without showers.

      Note: Even during hot summer months, it gets chilly at night. August 6, it was 50 degrees at night. A 40 degree dip from the cloudless daytime temps.

      It did not take long to fall in love with the Eastern Sierra Nevadas. I would not hesitate to camp here again, and am already planning a return visit.

    Guide to Benton

    The eastern Sierra region surrounding Benton, California sits at an elevation ranging from 5,000-8,000 feet with significant temperature variations between seasons. RV campgrounds near Benton provide access to alpine lakes, desert terrain, and volcanic formations all within a 45-minute drive radius. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, while summer days typically reach 80-90°F with cool evenings.

    What to do

    Fishing at McGee Creek: McGee Creek RV Park offers campsites right on the creek where fishing is easily accessible. "We stay here every year for a week. There are campsites right on the creek and others that aren't. Everything is spaced out well and it is well maintained," notes Patti A. from McGee Creek RV Park & Campground.

    Hiking near June Lake: The area provides numerous trails with alpine views. "Here you are in the middle of the June Lakes Alps. Quiet campground with ample hiking opportunities close by," reports Marcus K. who stayed at June Lake RV Park.

    Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife spotting opportunities. "We tromped through some 'trails' and saw garter snakes, chipmunks, mice, and bats at dusk," shares Jennifer W. who camped at Creekside RV Park.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and common areas. "Bathrooms and showers are very clean. We stayed in the large spaces that have electricity and water only. Very quiet and nice," says Jaime R. about their stay at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

    Bear sightings: While requiring proper food storage precautions, bears are part of the experience. "We weren't here for long, only one night on our way back home to Oregon but it was long enough to see a bear cross the road. This is definitely a spot where they aren't kidding about locking up your food," reports Fay M. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park.

    Stocked fishing ponds: Some campgrounds maintain private fishing areas. "There's a stocked pond for fishing that is really good for kids," Jennifer W. mentioned about Creekside RV Park.

    What you should know

    Weather variability: Mountain weather can change rapidly regardless of season. "We weren't here for long, only one night on our way back home to Oregon but it was long enough to see a bear cross the road. This is definitely a spot where they aren't kidding about locking up your food. It was also pretty chilly for what we thought was still the fall season, only 30 degrees when we arrived and 22 when we woke up in our tent the next morning," shares Fay M.

    Cash-only policies: Some campgrounds have limited payment options. "Paid for 1 night with electric and water hookup 52 $. Only Cash," notes Marian B. about Mono Vista RV Park.

    Site differences: Tent sites and RV sites can vary significantly in quality and spacing. "I'm not a fan of the trailer camping because it's all cement and everyone is close together, but it's doable if need be. When tent camping, you're under beautiful trees which I love!" explains Christina R. about tent camping at Mammoth Mountain.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly fishing: Several campgrounds offer easy fishing access for children. "There's a stocked pond for fishing that is really good for kids," explains Jennifer W. about Creekside RV Park.

    Safety around water: Creeks and waterways require supervision. "The creek is lovely and rushes by with the nice sounds of a creek. Be aware that the water is fast and cold. There are not a lot of spots for kids to play so unless they're older (and maybe even then) you'd want to watch them," cautions Jennifer W.

    Playground access: Some facilities offer additional recreation options. "Good bathroom amenities and swimming pool/spa. Playground. Walking distance to town," mentions Jessica L. from Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Dump station timing: Plan your departure time around dump station usage. "Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early," advises Patrick J. about Highlands RV Park.

    Site selection for RVs: Different areas within campgrounds offer varied experiences. "Spots large enough for almost all size rigs. Tents too. Choose to camp under the shade of the pines on a dirt pad or in the clean, parking lot style section," recommends Jessica L. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park.

    Limited internet: Connectivity varies significantly across RV campgrounds in Benton. "The park is clean nice area small spots Internet doesn't work worth a darn," notes Mary M. about Highlands RV Park. Consider downloading maps and entertainment before arrival.
