Between Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, access to several parks requires navigating steep mountain roads with elevation changes. According to one visitor, "The road getting up is steep, narrow, and climbs almost 3500 feet over the course of 7 miles. If you are towing a trailer or driving a big rig get ready to burn some gas, and make sure you have solid brakes for the way down." Most RV parks in the region offer sanitary dump stations, though some charge additional fees for this service. Cell coverage varies significantly by location, with strong reception in Bishop but limited or non-existent service at higher elevation parks. Pet policies generally allow dogs, with some parks featuring dedicated dog runs. Propane is available at select locations, particularly at the larger RV resorts with on-site markets.

LegendGood: friendly staff, hot showers, nice big trees, level sites, close to town Not Good: need to pay extra for shower and dump station.
GuideStayed 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.
Ranger(My visit was in Feb. 2020) I drove in from Big Pine, it's not that bad of a drive, if you like rough roads. The drive in is no where nearly as bad as the road to the Racetrack. There are no facilities here, nothing, nada, zip, so be prepared. You are on your own as cell service is limited to nonexistent. The campsites are along the road so you can drive right up to the site. There are a few sites picnic tables and fire rings (BYOW).
TravelerHighlands 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.

If you are looking for a truly unique, tranquil getaway off the beaten path in California, The Inn at Benton Hot Springs is tough to beat. We recently stopped here to decompress on our trip to Glacier National Park, staying in Hot Tub Site#2, and it was hands-down one of the most relaxing nights of our entire journey.
The Soak& Site Experience (Site#2)
Each campsite here features its own dedicated, private natural hot spring tub.
CRITICAL PRO-TIP: Big-Rig Navigation on Highway 120
If you are pulling a large setup—like our 39-foot Keystone Raptor toyhauler—pay close attention to this arrival strategy to save yourself immense stress:
Nobody wants to be the camper stuck across both lanes of Highway 120. Following this route will save your nerves, your trailer skirts, and your tires.
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Benton Hot Springs is an absolute gem for anyone traveling Eastern California. Once you navigate the entrance, having your own private, steaming mineral tub just steps from your RV door makes all the driving worthwhile. We will definitely be back.
P.S. Absolutely no Cell Service. Bring a Starlink Dish.
GuideLake 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.
RangerWe stayed at this campground may years ago (2006-2008) and it has remained one of our favorites.
Our most recent stay was for a small rally of 8 class A RVs from 34' to 43' in length all with tow vehicles. Wishon was able to accommodate all of us. The drive to Wishon starts with a long climb to Shaver Lake. Past Shaver Lake the road becomes windy for the remainder of the drive. Expect at least a 40+ minute drive from the Shaver lake turn off. On the way you will pass a grove of Giant Sequoia trees with a pull out to walk or picnic among them.
All sites are gravel and have full hook ups. Some sites have 50 amp service but it will rarely be needed because of the elevation of 6800 feet. All sites will accommodate the RV, vehicle, boat, and more. Wishon also has tent sites with or without platforms.
There are many activities available from this campground. Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing. Two reservoirs are nearby, Wishon and Courtright. Courtright at 8200' opens later than Wishon at 6600'. Rainbow and German Browns can be caught.
Wishon Village has a nice store with most necessities and sells fishing licenses.
TravelerArrived 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
The Eastern Sierra region around Big Pine sits at elevations between 3,989 and 8,000 feet, creating a diverse camping environment with significant temperature swings. RV camping options range from full-hookup resorts near town to more primitive sites tucked along creeks at higher elevations. Seasonal access varies dramatically, with many campgrounds closing completely during winter months due to mountain snowfall.
Fishing access points: Baker Creek Campground offers multiple fishing spots along its namesake creek and small pond. "I loved the fishing here. You could tell it has been stocked at the amount of fish that were super easy catching on the fly rod," notes one camper who appreciated the stream access.
Mountain hiking: Whitney Portal serves as the gateway to numerous alpine trails including Mount Whitney itself. "I'd camp here to hike Meysan Lakes and the start of the Whitney trail to Lone Pine Lake, neither of which require permits for day hikes. It's a great camp for acclimatization," shares a former ranger.
Stargazing opportunities: Boulder Creek RV Resort provides excellent night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. According to one visitor, the site was "very quiet, very dark at night. The stars were amazing."
Creek-side sites: Many campers specifically seek out water-adjacent sites at Baker Creek Campground. "Lots of shade babbling brooks all around you quiet and very beautiful," writes one visitor who called the location a "hidden gem."
Convenience to town: Highlands RV Park receives praise for its strategic location. "Convenient to Bishop with very nice people. The spaces are a little bit too close together, but on pavement with a picnic table at each site. Trash disposal available as well as a small area to take the dogs for their business," reports one reviewer.
On-site amenities: Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground offers facilities that tent campers particularly appreciate. "They have bathrooms and showers which are great for us RTT campers. The location is right near town and not a far drive from most of the lakes," notes a visitor who mentioned bear activity is common.
Bear activity: Throughout the region, bear encounters require proper preparation. At Whitney Portal, one camper warns: "Bears will break into vehicles with food, scraps, wrappers, etc. Even a cardboard box can invite the critters' attentions. So keep a clean car if parking there and use the bear boxes provided by the forest service."
Weather extremes: Temperature fluctuations can be dramatic, especially in shoulder seasons. At Goodale Creek Campground, visitors note limited shade, making summer camping challenging. One camper mentioned, "Not really any shade so I would not recommend for summer months."
Cell service variations: Connectivity changes dramatically with elevation. At Creekside RV Park, a reviewer noted good connectivity, while other campgrounds have minimal service: "Site WiFi is legit as is T-Mobile and AT&T service."
Stocked fishing ponds: Creekside RV Park features a fishing pond specifically designed for younger anglers. "There's a stocked pond for fishing that is really good for kids," mentions one family who camped there with children.
Safety around water: Baker Creek Campground has multiple stream crossings that require supervision. One visitor cautions: "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."
Bathroom access considerations: Many campgrounds have limited facilities. One reviewer at Creekside notes: "There is a shower available (but be aware it's a bit of a tight squeeze as it shares space with the toilet.) It's four quarters for five minutes for the shower."
Elevation and vehicle strain: Access roads to campgrounds like Mammoth Mountain RV Park require careful navigation. "The road getting up is steep, narrow, and climbs almost 3500 feet over the course of 7 miles. If you are towing a trailer or driving a big rig get ready to burn some gas," cautions one RVer.
Dump station availability: Boulder Creek RV Resort's dump station can create congestion during peak checkout times. A camper advises: "Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early."
Site configurations: RV parks Big Pine, California and surrounding areas have varying site layouts. At Mammoth Mountain RV Park, one camper shares: "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!"
