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.

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.

RangerTwin 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.
Jules D.GuideCrab 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.

What to do
Swimming holes exploration: Near Big Sandy Campground, visitors can find natural swimming areas by hiking approximately two miles uphill. "There are some beautiful waterfall spots about 2 miles of hill climb from campground, well worth the hike. Water can be very cold though," notes one camper.
Yosemite Valley access: From Camp 4 — Yosemite National Park, visitors can easily reach multiple trailheads. "It's near to the yosemite falls trailhead and the lower falls loop," according to one camper, while another mentioned the site is "a great home base for seeing all of the sights of Yosemite Valley."
Creek recreation: Soquel Campground provides creekside camping with natural water features. A visitor described, "The creek is cold, but the rock formations create natural pools great for swimming. It's a popular spot and fills up fast."
What campers like
Affordability near park entrances: Yosemite "Boondock National" Dispersed Camping offers free sites minutes from the South entrance. A camper explains: "Super accessible spot right by the entrance (10 min drive max) to yosemite np!! Super lowkey, fire pits, and beautiful scenery."
Creek access: Many sites at Soquel Campground directly adjoin the water. As one visitor observed, "Quiet, large creekside campsites. Free firewood, helpful host."
Convenience for day trips: Staying at North Pines Campground — Yosemite National Park places visitors in proximity to multiple popular trails. One camper noted: "This campground is in the heart of Yosemite Valley. It is great to camp on the valley floor, especially during peak season as traffic from all main gates to the valley floor is very congested."
What you should know
Early arrival recommended: Camp 4 operates on a first-come basis requiring early check-in. One camper advised: "We got there at 6:00 in the morning and there was already a line. Campers were lined up outside with their chairs and blankets. The rangers come out around 8:30 and hand out numbers."
Road conditions: Access to some sites requires navigation on rough terrain. For Big Sandy Campground, a reviewer warned: "The 6 mile road to get into it is rough. With high rain season, you have to cross the creek and it may require a lifted type vehicle like a truck."
Crowding factors: Upper Pines Campground — Yosemite National Park can become congested during peak periods. One visitor observed: "Upper Pines is not a place you go to for relaxation and solitude - but then neither is Yosemite Valley."
Seasonal limitations: Most glamping sites near Fish Camp have weather-dependent availability. One Upper Pines visitor noted: "Only sites up to 97 of upper pines campground were open this time of year. The loop is closest to the entrance and you can walk to the park shuttles."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming opportunities: Indian Flat RV Park provides additional recreational amenities. A visitor mentioned: "Cedar Lodge next door has an indoor and outdoor pool available for the RV campers to use. The outdoor pool was closed for the season, but the indoor pool was heated to at least 100 degrees."
Transportation options: Bus service can eliminate driving concerns. One Indian Flat camper noted: "The YART bus (that shuttles you into the park) stops at the hotel next door. It was $20 for a family of four (round trip), and that included admission to the park."
Wildlife preparation: Proper food storage remains essential. A Camp 4 visitor advised: "Each campsite contains a fire pit (no grill), picnic table, and four shared food lockers and is near a bathroom with drinking water and flushing toilets."
Communal campfire programs: Educational opportunities exist within some campgrounds. As one Lower Pines camper described: "Campsite was classic, had bear boxes (of course), and also had nightly seminars on different topics in the amphitheater (the night we went it was on bird communication)."
Tips from RVers
Site selection challenges: High Sierra RV Park requires careful navigation for larger rigs. One RVer noted: "The campsite was 39 and it was right next to the bathroom. To leave with a 26' travel trailer I had to pull out and back down another road just to exit the park."
Leveling difficulties: Uneven terrain can complicate setup. Another camper at High Sierra RV Park observed: "Our spot was also very hard to try and level our trailer. We never did quite get it leveled the way we would've liked."
Resort amenities: Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort offers additional facilities. A visitor shared: "Amenities include a pool, day room with tons of things to do, a separate day room for kids, a large fire pit, showers, store at the office, horseshoe and 2 shuffleboard courts."
Internet considerations: Connectivity varies significantly between locations. A High Sierra visitor mentioned: "You pay for WiFi per day, which was around $10/day," while another noted that at the nearby lodge "great wifi" was available.
