    Mono Hot Springs offers rustic cabin camping with varying levels of amenities. The main lodge provides cabin rentals with basic furnishings including beds, tables, and chairs, while Muir Trail Ranch features more remote cabin options accessible by hiking trails. Most cabins include electricity, though heating systems vary by location and season. Bathrooms are typically shared facilities located nearby rather than inside individual cabins. Kitchen setups range from simple counters with mini-refrigerators to more complete kitchenettes with stovetops. "The cabins at Mono Hot Springs are quaint with amazing access to the natural hot springs nearby," one visitor commented.

    Reservations are essential for cabin stays, particularly during the peak summer season from May through October when most facilities operate. Muir Trail Ranch cabins require advance booking and are popular with hikers exploring the John Muir Trail. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins at Mono Hot Springs and Dinkey Creek allowing dogs while others restrict pets entirely. A camper shared that "getting to Mono Hot Springs requires navigating a crazy single-lane road that will leave you white-knuckled, but it's worth it for the cabin experience and amazing fishing spots nearby."

    Most cabins provide basic beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Cooking facilities vary widely, from fire rings with grates to small indoor kitchenettes. The Mono Hot Springs store carries limited groceries and supplies, though selection is restricted by the remote location. Visitors should plan to bring most food and specialty items from larger towns before arriving. Bear-resistant storage is provided at most cabin campsite locations, and proper food storage is strictly enforced throughout the region to prevent wildlife encounters.

      the Inn at Benton Hot Springs

      Pure Relaxation & A Must-Know Big-Rig Access Tip

      Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com

      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.

      • Cleanliness & Water: Site#2 was immaculate. The tub was spotless, and the mineral water was piping hot and easy to adjust to the perfect soaking temperature.
      • Privacy& Seclusion: The layout offers exceptional privacy between sites. You get uninterrupted desert and mountain views, completely dark night skies for stargazing, and total quiet.
      • Booking Tip: This place is no secret among seasoned road trippers—plan well ahead, because these private tub sites book up fast.

      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:

      • DO NOT attempt a right-hand turn into the campground driveway from westbound Hwy 120. The angle is practically a 180-degree hook, flanked by a telephone pole, a narrow gate, and tight fencing. It is physically impossible for a long trailer to clear without clipping something or blocking the road(speaking for a friend, of course!).
      • The Turnaround Maneuver: You must be facing EAST to safely enter the dirt driveway. Drive west past the main office and look for the wide dirt turnout directly across from the intersection of Highway 120 and Yellow Jacket Road.
      • The Smart Check-In Plan: Pull into that turnout to temporarily park your rig and complete your U-turn. From there, take the easy 100-yard walk back to the office to grab your paperwork and check-in packet. Once you're set, you will be heading east, allowing you to make a smooth, wide left-hand turn directly into the campground entrance without sweating a scratch.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Big Pine Creek Campground

      Five stars Monday through Thursday, three stars for the weekend

      If you’re looking for a great camping experience, I highly recommend this campground—five stars from Monday through Thursday, but be cautious about the weekend, where it drops to three stars. I love small, rustic campgrounds, and this one strikes a perfect balance; it’s not too small and not too large. The camp manager does an outstanding job keeping the bathrooms clean and the campsites well-maintained. I arrived on Monday, the 26th, and stayed through Thursday, and it was an absolute dream—quiet and peaceful. Most campers were seasoned anglers, day hikers, or backpackers. This place is for those who cherish authentic camping during the week, seeking solitude and a chance to recharge. Isn’t that the essence of camping? However, my weekend experience in a different campsite was a major letdown. It was overrun with weekend warriors who disregarded camping etiquette—loud and rowdy. Many of them hiked to the lake, and at one point, I thought a UFO had landed in the campground, only to discover it was just city campers with string lights everywhere. A few tips: the photos online can be quite misleading, so choose wisely when booking. In my view, there are about ten really nice campsites, but some are much better than others. And unless you like a boisterous scene, I wouldn’t recommend camping on the weekends. I enjoy country music, but I prefer to keep it low-key after 10 PM. I would certainly come back again—but only on weekdays!

      Tuolumne Meadows Campground — Yosemite National Park

      Big but beautiful

      Very well spaced sites on a huge campground, nicely situated in the forest next to the river (cold, but nice for the hikers feet). Beautiful area, plenty of hikes from the campground, clean enough toilets (but no showers). Nice evening program for the kids.

      Tuolumne Meadows Campground — Yosemite National Park

      Always Nice Here

      Friendly rangers and hosts at the entrance kiosk for the campground. They can make reservations for you for anywhere within the park if need be. Toilets very clean and abundant. NPS.gov and recreation.gov say that the dump is closed effective Sept 7, 226 (for the season I assume)-NOT TRUE. Today we used it and and spoke with workers in the area who said they are NOT GOING TO CLOSE the dump. Also filled the RV with potable water there.

      Dinkey Creek

      Secluded but Convenient

      We had a great three night, four day trip. The site we stayed at was more secluded than most sites at the campground. It was great weather and also convenient to water play access.

      June Lake RV Park

      the location is good

      June lake is gorgeous and the town is a true mountain town. It is much quieter than mammoth, and everything is much easier to access. This campground is within walking distance of everything you need. Boat rentals, fishing, hiking trails, general store, brewery, ice cream shop, and great cycling routes. Customer service was absolutely top notch, some of the friendliest camp hosts we’ve ever come across. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, made the experience even better. The campground itself is pretty lackluster, kind of felt like parking in a field. We were very close to our neighbors, spots are tight, and no great views.

      Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort

      Sprawling, crowded but has essentials

      Had no reservation but was able to get a spot for my 22-ft Tacoma with electric, water and sewage. Problem was my sewer pointed sideways, instead of straight up which made emptying my camping toilet too daunting to even attempt. The spigot for the water was about 3 in off the ground so I had to by spend $25 on a garden hose in the store. Just so I could fill up a 5 gallon jug with water. Plenty of shade from what I could see, but being a Friday don't expect any peace and quiet until night time. $75 for the night. The parking spaces weren't clearly marked and I accidentally parked blocking someone else's spot and had to move. The spaces should be very clearly marked and they aren't, at least not where I was. Meh.

    Guide to Mono Hot Springs

    Cabin rentals near Mono Hot Springs sit at elevations between 6,600-7,000 feet in California's Sierra National Forest. Seasonal availability typically runs from May through October, limited by snowfall that closes Kaiser Pass Road, the single-lane mountain access route. Temperature swings from daytime highs in the 80s to nighttime lows in the 40s are common even in summer months.

    What to do

    Fishing at local lakes: Multiple fishing spots within 30 minutes of Mono Hot Springs offer trout fishing opportunities. "The river runs right close to the campsites and it is amazing fishing, I was told that it gets stocked often. But the real gem is taking a drive around the roads around the area and finding more hidden fishing spots," notes Heather P.

    Hot springs exploration: Several natural hot springs vary in temperature and accessibility. "They are all over the hillside and range in temperature from lukewarm to bath water to Hot. They also pump the natural mineral water to the bathhouse for the showers," explains Mollie M. from Mono Hot Springs.

    Hiking to alpine lakes: Short day hikes lead to scenic mountain lakes. "Several trails to a few alpine lakes, and great swimming and cliff jumping at Doris lake," says Chris M. The network connects to longer backcountry routes including sections of the John Muir Trail.

    What campers like

    Rustic isolation: The remote location provides a true wilderness experience. "This is perhaps my new favorite place to camp. It is not too far from where I live and is majestic. Being amongst the Sierras and embracing the waters as we did was absolutely empowering," writes Raei B. about nearby Dinkey Creek.

    Swimming holes: Creek access provides natural swimming areas. "The creek is lovely and rocky in a shallow bed so it's easy to access," reports Kayko S. about Rock Creek Lake Campground. Natural water features range from shallow wading areas to deeper swimming spots.

    Cabin options: From basic to more comfortable accommodations. "This is our go to place for our yearly camp out. It has a spot for everyone from tent camping to cabins," shares Regina P. Cabins typically have limited electrical service with simple furnishings and access to shared facilities.

    What you should know

    Access challenges: The road to Mono Hot Springs requires careful driving. "Kaiser Pass was a bit of an adrenaline rush. It took 2 hours to drive 18 miles on a one lane road that is not in good repair. But WORTH it!" explains Chris M. The narrow mountain road requires frequent stops for oncoming traffic.

    Bear activity: Active bear presence requires proper food storage. "Secluded enough for bears to roam around likes its their hood," warns Kuo G. All cabin areas provide bear-resistant storage lockers, and proper food storage regulations are strictly enforced.

    Limited services: Remote location means minimal facilities. "The store has a decent amount of supplies," notes Bryce B., but selection is limited. Water sources vary between cabin areas with some providing potable water while others require filtering or bringing your own.

    Tips for camping with families

    Tent sites near cabins: Family groups can combine cabin and tent accommodations. "Our campsite was right next to the river, and hiking trails to lakes, meadows and hot springs run directly off of the campground," shares Colleen C., describing the mixed lodging options near Mono Hot Springs.

    Kid-friendly swimming: Shallow water areas provide safer options for younger visitors. "This was my best camping experience ever. It's location had perfect weather, warm during the day and cool, but not cold, at night. You surrounded by gorgeous tall trees and have access to swimming holes about a mile away," explains Michal S. about Dinkey Creek.

    Weather preparation: Significant temperature drops occur at night, even in summer. "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," recounts Fay M. when staying at Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    RV size limitations: Large rigs face significant challenges on mountain roads. "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," notes Chris M. Most cabin areas cannot accommodate large RVs due to tight turns and narrow roads.

    Seasonal timing: Weather determines accessibility for vehicles. "The road is closed most of the year. So open and close dates vary depending on snow," explains a reviewer. Kaiser Pass Road typically opens late May and closes with first significant snow in October.

    Dispersed options: Alternative camping exists beyond established campgrounds. "If you go up to Mono Hot Spring and don't have a reservation there are plenty of campgrounds both before and after the main mono hot spring campgrounds," advises Bryce B.
