ScoutHousekeeping 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!

TravelerMammoth 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!
Samantha M.GuideTwin 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.
Zack P.ScoutTwin 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.

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.

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.
Guide to Devils Postpile National Monument
Reds Meadow Campground offers several tent and RV sites at 7,580 feet elevation within Devils Postpile National Monument. The camping season runs June through October due to heavy winter snowpack that typically closes access roads. Overnight temperatures can drop significantly even in summer months, with July nighttime lows averaging 43°F despite daytime temperatures reaching the high 70s.
What to do
Hiking to alpine lakes: From Twin Lakes Campground, numerous trails lead to pristine mountain lakes. "Remember that you're at elevation so it can get cold at night even in the summer. Twin Lakes and all of the surrounding Mammoth area is gorgeous. You'll have plenty of hikes to choose from, go fishing, or hit the slopes," notes Jonathan G.
Wildlife viewing: The area supports diverse wildlife including black bears. At Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground, visitors regularly encounter local fauna. "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.
Visit hot springs: Several natural hot springs dot the region near Crab Cooker Hotsprings dispersed camping area. "We set up our tents with a view of the hot springs. The hot spring was kind of broken when we were there so that was a bummer, but you could hike out to the slightly muddy creek for some hot water," shares Alyssa L.
What campers like
Access to transportation: The Devils Postpile glamping experience connects with the area's shuttle system. At Mammoth Mountain RV Park, one camper noted, "Great location, close by many amazing hikes! Easy to catch a bus into town or take a quick 5 min drive. Loved the indoor pool. Nice clean campground."
Bear-proof storage options: All designated camping areas provide secure food storage. "Sites have a picnic table, fire ring and bear box. Traffic in Mammoth can get pretty busy," explains Heather P. about Twin Lakes Campground.
Seasonal activities: The region offers varied recreation throughout the operating season. "We always sea bald eagles here! Fishing is really good!" reports Taylor about Twin Lakes Campground, while others note the opportunity to enjoy boating, hiking, and mountain biking in the warmer months.
What you should know
Bear activity: Black bears frequently visit camping areas. "Keep you food in the bear lockers, they have daily visitors late in the evening and throughout the night. Had a good view of the falls from the campsite," warns Jason F. from Twin Lakes Campground.
Road conditions: Access roads can be challenging. At Crab Cooker Hotsprings, Thomas K. notes, "Rocking road coming in but worth it for the view. About 8 spots at the end of the dirt road. Only one bar of service. It would be hard to access with anything thing over 22ft."
Weather variability: Despite summer daytime warmth, nights get cold. "Absolutely breathtaking. Can't wait to go back to spend more time," says Fay M. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park, adding it was "only 30 degrees when we arrived and 22 when we woke up in our tent the next morning."
Tips for camping with families
Off-season benefits: Consider visiting Reds Meadow Campground before peak crowds arrive. "After driving around every overcrowded campground in mammoth lakes we were lucky enough to find this campsite on Dyrt. It had many open spots even in July with beautiful views of nearby mountains," shares Natasha M.
Multiple bathing options: Families appreciate shower access. "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 Mammoth Mountain RV Park.
Recreation supplies: Most families need recreation equipment. Sharon B. notes at Reds Meadow, "There's a market & cafe which are pricey but do a booming business anyway. Showers & laundry are available for pay. Flushing toilets by the store are a welcome treat."
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: RV sites vary significantly at Pine Cliff Resort. "The sites very in size and shape, and are tight. Oh, review campground roads are very poorly marked and confusing. The store had all the basics. Walk to beach was not bad either," advises Sam & Amy inc. L.
Generator restrictions: Different campgrounds have varying policies about generator usage. At Reds Meadow, generators are prohibited entirely, while Mammoth Mountain RV Park offers electric hookups to eliminate the need for generators.
Utility connections: Hookup locations can present challenges. Patrick J. from Mammoth Mountain RV Park explains, "We backed in pretty deep to the site as not to run into our neighbor. My long shore cord had to be stretched to get to the power box. The water and sewer fine. Why these boxes are so far back almost into the next site is puzzling."
