      Housekeeping Camp — Yosemite National Park

      The Perfect Combination of Camping and Convenience!

       The Perfect Combination of Camping and Convenience! I'm 69 years old and an avid tent camper, but I absolutely loved staying at Housekeeping Camp in Yosemite! We kept things incredibly simple. We literally brought one ice chest and a plug-in coffee pot! With electrical outlets in both the kitchen and sleeping areas, we had everything we needed to make coffee in the morning and put together picnic lunches for our adventures. For those who enjoy preparing their own meals, Housekeeping Camp is well set up for that, too! There's a dedicated cooking area with a counter for food preparation and a picnic table for dining. You can easily bring your camp stove, cooking utensils, and supplies and enjoy cooking all your meals right at your campsite. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the various restaurants in Yosemite Valley, which meant we could devote our days entirely to hiking, sightseeing, and enjoying the beauty of Yosemite rather than worrying about cooking and cleaning up. In the evenings, we relaxed around a wonderful campfire. For someone who genuinely loves tent camping, Housekeeping Camp offered the best of both worlds. We still had that wonderful feeling of being outdoors and camping, but without all the work of setting up and taking down a campsite. Now, let's be clear: This is definitely not glamping! There is dirt, and the accommodations are rustic. But frankly, there's a lot less dirt and hassle than traditional tent camping! The key is simply having the right expectations. If you're looking for luxury, this probably isn't your place. But if you love the outdoors, want to spend your time exploring Yosemite, and appreciate the simplicity of camping without all the work, Housekeeping Camp is a fantastic option. I would absolutely stay here again!

      Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground

      Mammoth Mountain RV Park is a great home base for a ski and snowboard weekend! I've visited friends staying here in their Sprinter van during the winter and have also been out in the summer.

      The campground is clean, well maintained, and they do a great job keeping the roads plowed when the snow starts piling up!

      One of the biggest perks, especially in the winter, is having electrical hookups. Cold temperatures can drain van batteries quickly, so being able to plug in, stay warm, and not worry about power is a huge plus.

      There's also a hot tub, although it could use a little more heat! We tested the water with a foot and decided it wasn't quite warm enough for a soak. :)

      Whether you're visiting for winter adventures or a summer getaway, it's a great spot to set up camp and enjoy Mammoth!

      Twin Lakes Campground

      One of my faves

      Clean and spacious. Water was just a short walk away. Amazing views all around the campground. Restrooms were always clean.

      Twin Lakes Campground

      Beautiful Campsite

      I had a huge campsite site-one camping spot over from the lakeside. the whole back of the site open to forest-46a (this is a prime cluster of sites). Close to what are probably the cleanest, best maintained bathrooms in the park system (cleaned twice daily).  The Mamouth lakes area is not for campers seeking solitude, it's just too popular an area for that. However, despite a lot of people around, it is beautiful and stunning area nevertheless! 

      There is one thing to note-don't forget to bring clothes to layer up with as it can turn cold and windy without a moment's notice. In fact, because of a relentless, daily wind, it was the only camping spot I felt compelled to fully stake down my large Wonderland Tent. all summer...

      Another highlight of Mamouth is there are plenty of fish at nearby lakes-this area is considered one of the best regions in USA for trophy trout.  The Lakes are also stocked with plenty of good-sized trout for eating; however, Twin Lakes is not the best lake for shore fishing-you need a boat or float to get to the best spots-plus, it is a very weedy as well.

      Besides GREAT FISHING, you are nearby to a dozen FANTASTIC day hikes and there are many more great hikes for a bit longer drive- this is a day-hikers paradise!

      If the lack of solitude doesn't bother you (find it by hiking), it is also nice camping area for extended stays because you are so close to the town of Mammoth Lakes-it has good restaurants, bakeries, ice cream, and a Vons supermarket (best price on ice here),

      All in All, it was a great place to pitch my REI Wonderland Tent for a week and I highly recommend it.

      Lower Pines Campground — Yosemite National Park

      Beautiful Yosemite

      We camped in our tiny towable Meerkat camper. Our spot was right next to the bathroom (flush toilets but there are not any showers), site 64. The view is of 1/2 dome and there is a swimming hole near the site. Although the sites are close together, they are arranged nicely with a large picnic table and fire pit and large bear box at each at each site. There were group sites and tent sites. The camp is a stop on the bus route and it is in walking distance of Curry Village where there are restaurants and groceries available. The site puts you close to most of the things you want to see at Yosemite.

      Tuff Campground

      Great Spot tucked right off the highway

      I really like this campground, easy off the highway 395, enough room to maneuver a 40’ trailer, stream running through with trout for days. The Tom’s Cabin restaurant within walking distance and the Eastern Sierras fills your view. Would definitely recommend and will come again.

      High Sierra RV Park

      Quiet and close to Yosemite

      The spots are close but not too close. There's a nice creek at the end. Place is quiet and close to Yosemite. Decent prices.

      Twin Lakes Campground

      Near Paved Bike / Hike Trail

      Stayed at shaded site 4 next to main road between main lodge and store. Site was a little sloped for 24' RV. Clean flush toilets with sinks. Easy walk to store and main lodge. Paved bike/walking trail a big plus. Showers were closed at store. Water available. A little windy and chilly on lake but site protected under trees. Free shuttle stops nearby if want to visit town or upper lakes.

      Crab Cooker Hotsprings - Dispersed Camping

      Excellent camping nearby, hot spring mixed.

      Crab Cooker seems to be empty or cold about as often as it’s functioning. While I was camping nearby, I often went on to Shepard due to Crab Cooker conditions.

      The parking lot is City of LA, no overnight parking. But just before you pass the property of LA sign there’s a stellar camping loop to the right.

    Guide to Shaver Lake

    Shaver Lake campsites sit at elevations between 5,000-7,000 feet in the Sierra National Forest, creating distinct four-season camping conditions. Summer daytime temperatures typically range from 75-85°F with cool evenings dropping to 45-55°F. Winter camping options remain available at several locations even when snow accumulations reach 10-15 feet at higher elevations.

    What to do

    Fishing access points: Fish Creek Campground offers direct access to well-stocked waters. A camper noted, "The river runs right close to the campsites and it is amazing fishing, I was told that it gets stocked often."

    Hot springs exploration: Mono Hot Springs features natural thermal pools with varying temperatures. "There are several different pools located across the river from the campgrounds. They are all over the hillside and range in temperature from lukewarm to bath water to Hot," explains one visitor.

    Off-road adventures: The Sierra National Forest contains numerous 4x4 trails accessible from campsites. "Plenty of two tracks to explore if you like to off-road, and if you don't there are campsites for you too," shares a Whisky Falls visitor.

    Alpine lake swimming: Multiple high-elevation lakes offer summer swimming opportunities. A camper at Dinkey Creek describes it as having "access to swimming holes about a mile away" and being "surrounded by gorgeous tall trees."

    What campers like

    Natural water features: Campers consistently highlight creek and river access at multiple campgrounds. "We loved everything from the isolated campgrounds, the off-road trails to test our 4x4 trucks and how our dogs were free to explore with us," reports a Whisky Falls visitor.

    Secluded sites: Despite popularity, several campgrounds maintain spacing between sites. A Camp Edison reviewer explains, "Each site has plenty of room and includes a picnic table and fire pit. It's a short walk to Shaver Lake from virtually any of the sites, and several have a nice view of the lake."

    Yurt camping options: Wishon Village RV Resort offers yurt accommodations for those seeking Shaver Lake yurt camping experiences. The resort features "two types of tent sites, platform and ground neither of which has AC/Water. I had a platform site that was next to a little stream," notes a recent visitor.

    On-site conveniences: Many campgrounds feature small stores for essential supplies. "Nice store and hospitality center with food, drinks and stock of camp supplies," mentions a Camp Edison visitor.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Some campgrounds require navigating challenging roads. A Mono Hot Springs visitor cautions, "The last 18 miles over Kaiser Pass took 1.5 hours. A sub-par road surface little bigger than one lane in many places made transit interesting."

    Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate on limited schedules. "The road is closed most of the year. So open and close dates vary depending on snow," explains a Mono Hot Springs camper.

    Wildlife precautions: Bear-proof storage is required at many campgrounds. "I love that there are bear boxes at such a remote place," notes a visitor. Another camper warns, "Secluded enough for bears to roam around like it's their hood."

    Water availability: Drinking water access varies by location. "Bring drinking water (though if you forget you can buy some at the camp store)," advises a Dinkey Creek visitor.
