Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mammoth Lakes, CA

1,298 Reviews

Spacious pull-through sites make Mammoth Lakes a practical stop for RVers, especially those with larger rigs up to 45 feet. The area's campgrounds have a mix of hookup options, from basic water and electric to full service with sewer connections. Most RV pads are built on level concrete or gravel, which means less time spent on stabilizing jacks and more time enjoying your stay. Electrical service ranges from 30-amp to 50-amp depending on the campground, so check ahead if you need higher power for your rig. Dump stations are available at most locations if you're staying at a partial-hookup site. The roads to most Mammoth Lakes campgrounds can handle big rigs without scraping problems, though some of the more remote spots have tighter turns. Each site typically comes with a fire ring and picnic table alongside your parking pad. Generator rules exist at all campgrounds with specific quiet hours – usually no running after 8 or 9 PM. Cell service varies throughout the area, with better coverage at campgrounds closer to town and spotty reception in outlying areas. If you're planning a summer visit, book your site several months ahead since the best spots fill quickly, especially those with full hookups. From most RV parks, you're within a short drive of hiking trails, lakes, and the town's restaurants and shops, making it easy to explore without breaking camp.

    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.

    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.

    Coldwater Campground

    Busy Campground with Great Trails

    A big campground in Mammoth Lakes, with 77 sites in total. It can be a pretty popular sport during the summer, so you may want to make reservations or call ahead just to make sure. But it has water and flush toilets, but the down fall is no showers. Each site has a picnic table, firepit ring, and a two-locker bear storage. The campground varies in privacy so just be aware you will see and most likely hear your neighbors. There is no electric either at this campground. It is $24 a night which isn’t bad but with no showers seems bit pricey.

    This campground has some great hiking trails in it, we took the Meadows trail and it did not disappoint with beautiful scenery and rivers. It also is right down the road from Mammoth Lakes which has plenty of restaurants if you are needing some non-camping cuisine. There are trails all over this area, that it would take you while to hike all of them. This is also a very popular mountain biking area during the summer with trails everywhere. During the winter it is a booming ski/snowboard town.

    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.

    Camp Edison

    Room to Roam

    We have been coming to Camp Edison annually for the past 15 years and have never been disappointed. 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. Fishing, boating, swimming or just picnicking on one of the many beaches surrounding the lake is a great way to spend your time. Some sites have full hook ups, but most have just electricity and cable TV, with water faucets nearby to fill your RV or use as needed if dry camping. There is a dump station on site and also a “honey wagon” that will come to your site and pump out your waste water, if you desire. Restrooms are clean and plentiful and each has a shower (25 cents for 2 minutes). The laundromat has come in handy several times, too. Camp Edison has great activities during the summer season including guided educational nature walks, both day and evening, as well as kids’ movies in the amphitheater. There is also a museum on site that offers activities and fun events like an ice cream social.

    High Sierra RV Park

    It would be our last resort if nothing else was available

    I’ll start with the positive. If you need anything stores are close and entrance to Yosemite is 15 min up the road. Now for the negative. We have 29 foot travel trailer and we reserved a premium pull through spot. Although we could pull through the spaces were very tight and we just happen to get lucky that nobody was across from us as there is only in one way in and one way out. We were able to use other empty spot across from us to turn around. Had it been full we would have had a heck of a time getting out. One family came in last night and their spot was at the very end and they had to back all the way out of the park so they could back their trailer all the way back in. It is ridiculous. 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. The bathrooms aren’t very clean and the “beach” is over grown and i wouldn’t really even let my dog in the stagnant water. Bottom line this place is not good for your larger travel trailers our size or bigger. Especially if you are in a spot like we had which was spot 34 or a spot towards the end. Maybe better spot near the entrance. Class c generally would have no problem.

    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.

Guide to Mammoth Lakes

Camping near Mammoth Lakes offers year-round options with elevations between 7,000-9,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-80°F during the day and drop to 40-50°F at night, while winter brings significant snowfall that can limit access to many campgrounds. Bear-proof food storage is mandatory at all campgrounds in the area due to active black bear populations.

What to do

Fishing at local lakes: Crowley Lake is a popular fishing destination just 15 minutes from Mammoth. "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. about McGee Creek RV Park & Campground.

Hiking nearby trails: Many campgrounds provide direct access to hiking trails. "We loved this cute family owned and operated RV Park! They have tent sites as well as full and partial hookup sites for RVs... This is a fantastic campground if you plan on visiting Yosemite as it is only 12 miles from the main entrance," shares Paul C. about Mono Vista RV Park.

Water recreation: Swimming holes and lakes offer summer cooling options. "The creek, waterfalls & rope swing over the swimming hole was unbelievable!! The kids enjoyed the rope swing while the mom enjoyed the walk back to the falls & thru the shallow waters," reports Emily L. at High Sierra RV Park.

What campers like

Access to transportation: Many campgrounds connect to local transportation. "Loved all the bike trails. Easy to catch a bus into town or take a quick 5 min drive. Loved the indoor pool. Nice clean campground," says Karissa J. from Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

Nearby breweries: Local breweries provide post-adventure refreshment. "Adjacent marina lets you rent kayaks, paddle boards, or pontoon boats. Easy walk to June Lake Brewery," points out Marcus K. from June Lake RV Park.

Onsite amenities: Swimming pools and recreation facilities enhance stays. "The tent spots are pretty big and have some space between them. Make sure to use the bear box as we had a bear come into our camp the last night," warns Annelyse at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

What you should know

Bear activity: Bears are common in this region. "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," cautions Fay M. at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

Weather fluctuations: Mountain weather changes quickly. "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. about an October stay.

Reservation timing: Most campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "Bathrooms and showers are very clean. We stayed in the large spaces that have electricity and water only. Very quiet and nice," notes Jaime R. about camping at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Fishing ponds: Kid-friendly fishing opportunities exist at some campgrounds. "Old school campground with a mountain feel. Small general store and fishing pond. Sites are very close together, not a whole lot of trees," mentions Paul C. about Creekside RV Park.

Playground access: Some campgrounds include play areas. "Spots large enough for almost all size rigs. Tents too. Good bathroom amenities and swimming pool/spa. Playground. Walking distance to town. Great walking paths," reports Jessica L. at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

Shower considerations: Family showers vary by campground. "The shower is 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," explains Jennifer W. at Creekside RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some sites require extra work for leveling. "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," reports Whiffaroni M. about High Sierra RV Park.

Cell service reliability: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "Site WiFi is legit as is T-Mobile and AT&T service. Staff is great and accommodating. Propane available onsite at 3.50/gallon," mentions Jared C. at Highlands RV Park.

Dump station timing: Plan dump station usage strategically. "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. at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.
