This was our first time here at June Lake RV Park. Easy walk to Gull and June Lake loop. Went to Bodie National Sate Park and Lee Vining.
The owner is very friendly and helpful. The park is small and quaint. It also has a cabin that can be rented out. There is full hookups, no public restrooms. Even though they advertise there is WiFi it’s a very poor signal.
Guide
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.

Twin lakes is Located in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains near the town of Mammoth Lakes, California. Upper and lower twin lakes are a fantasic place to set up base camp and explore the sierras. This Review is specific to the lower loop which is on the east side of the lake just past the tamarack lodge and store. The store (open 7-7) offered a variety of amenities from clothes to souvenirs. Also available at the store were showers ($6 per person and from 7am to 6pm) and boat rentals($20 per hour) . The restrooms had sinks and flushing toilets that were immaculate!We had an awful bear Problem during our visit with other campers not securing their food in the provided bear boxes but other than that we had a truly enjoyable time! The Campsites are very spacious and shaded. The amount of shade in the campground did keep things on the cooler side all day. There is Plenty to do in the area from a lengthy bike path that covers the entire lake basin to the numerous hiking trails that cover the mountain sides. You’ll want to make sure you check out the visitor center as you come into town for a fascinating history lesson and tips to make the most of your trip! Mammoth mountain itself offers a variety of entertainment during the summer from concert series in the village to zip lining across the mountain. You’ll want to head to Main Lodge for any ticket purchases for mammoth mountain activities. In my pictures you’ll find the transit schedule for the free trolly that runs up around the lake basin and throughout the town of Mammoth along with a map of the campground!
TravelerThe staff/owners were awesome even in a semi-crisis. This was during the California wildfires. I would recommend this RV park/campground they have ample space for both. Every site has a bear box. The one night I stayed there were at least 2-3 bear incursions into the grounds.
Legend
This is a gem for California where so many of the campgrounds have over a hundred sites and tons of huge groups of people. This is away from the crowds with only ten sites.
Sites 6, 7, 8 are all open to each other but they are the best spots on the river. If you are going with another couple these spots would be great to secure.
The creek is lovely and rocky in a shallow bed so it's easy to access.
Scout
Op doorreis van Las Vegas naar Yosemite, overnacht in dit kleine RV-camp. Erg vriendelijke mensen, alle plekken veel schaduw door grote bomen.
TravelerPlace was very quiet, very dark at night. The stars were amazing. Campsites were a lil small but very clean and maintained.
TravelerThe lake will have you amazed with how clean the water is. It’s crystal clear and crisp
GuideCute cozy campsite. Sites are near each other and you’ll need to pass but some sites to get to yours. There’s a parking lot for cars and you take a very short walk to site. Clean and well Kept.
TravelerStay at Rock Creek Lake Campground in mid June. The drive up from Hwy 395 was easy for a mountain road. There were about 7 campgrounds along this corridor. Rock Creek Lake is at the top. The campground is at about 9,500 feet so be aware for altitude.
Campsites are very close to the water. The walk in tent sites are next to the creek. We were in site 24. This site was located in a small clearing that gets midday sun so it can heat up. Other than site 25, the other sites had better shade coverage. The walk in sites had a dirt pad for your tent, picnic table and bear locker. Your site has assigned parking.
It was about a 50 to 75 yard walk from the parking, water spout, and bathrooms. Camp host was pleasant and had wheelbarrows to help move your stuff. The bathrooms were flush toilets and sink. The sink faucets were variable.
The weather was still quite chilly especially at night. The campground in general was very quiet. We didn't hear loud music or groups over 4 days. There were lots of mosquitos the whole time. Rock Creek Lake Resort just down the road has a store and restaurant serving pie. During the weekend, there are lots of day use visitors but they cleared out in the evening.
I would definitely be back
LegendOnly few site for medium size rv. Enjoy the hot pool with giant jet. w
We will come back here.
TravelerGreat location but very pricey
ScoutHelpful staff, find a spot under trees, nice proximity to lots of activities and scenic highlights ... left our surge protector and they called us within 20 minutes to let us know.
TravelerWe 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. We didn't have any issues but good to note. 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. Absolutley breathtaking. Can't wait to go back to spend more time.
GuideGreat place to spend the night while traveling threw. No frills but clean ! Great price , Nice people and quite. Pet friendly which is a plus. Be mindful it’s bear country so wonderingl around at night not so wise lol
TravelerSpots large enough for almost all size rigs. Tents too. Good bathroom amenities and swimming pool/spa. Playground. Walking distance to town. Great walking paths. Choose to camp under the shade of the pines on a dirt pad or in the clean, parking lot style section.
This place never lets us down.
ScoutThis was our maiden voyage in our new Motor Home.. we enjoyed the location of MM RV Park and Campground because of the beautiful trees and the location was walking distance to restaurants and shops... the campground is clean and the people that work in the office are very nice. Linda whom I made the reservation with on the phone was excellent and I appreciated her knowledge and help.
GuideLoved 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. Looking forward to going back.
GuideThey shut off the water once it gets cold out so it doesn’t freeze, but they have showers and washrooms handy, and they have one spot you can fill up if your willing to risk frozen pipes.
ScoutWe camped there in our motorhome for 5 nights in the upper section. Not as "Camping" as the lower section but still very nice. We loved that we had access to most of the eastern Sierras and to the Mammoth area itself. Great E Bike riding area
LegendWe camped early in the season for opening weekend for Fishmas. Hot showers, heated pool and spa. Drinking water and clean-out/dump station for RV. Large bear boxes on site to store food in. There's also a bus that runs up to the resort with many stops in town that's FREE!
ScoutDo yourself a favor and if available get the full hook up sites! They are in the middle of the trees with great space and access to everything. The bathrooms were amazing and clean. The pool and spa is indoors and well laid out. This is now one of our favorite spots
GuideI really enjoyed tent camping here. I’m not a fan of the trailer camping because it’s all cement and everyone is close together, but it’s doable if need be. When tent camping, you’re under beautiful trees which I love!
LegendStill 4 stars, more accurately 3.5 stars. We were under the trees this time instead of on the asphalt parking lot slab. All dirt, dirt back in site, dirt camp site accessed by a dirt road. Expect lots of dust. Bring all your campsite mats, you will need it. 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. Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early. Not really sure if there will be a third visit.
LegendLarge enough sites. I have tried a year in advance for full hook ups. Only Water and Electrical again this year. As you can see, the sites are parking lot like. All asphalt.
Some area are sparse with trees, so you will get lots of direct light in these sections. Staff was pretty accommodating. Will be returning this August.
Guide
After dispersed camping, we looked forward to full service. The sites are narrow and not very deep. They seem to only have a couple of pull throughs for over 38 ft rigs. They only offer 30 amp and don’t want you to use A/C and at $45, that seems odd. They do not offer much beyond what the USFS campgrounds all around this place offer at $15 cheaper. Lots of updating needed to make it workable. Would be good for a quick stopover enroute to someplace else. PS. Thanks to employee Bill for being helpful and letting us borrow a hose.
RangerRight near June Lake. Very large place with a general store, coin op showers, bathrooms... pretty standard as far as large RV parks go. The amenities were nice and pretty well kept. Quite busy with lots of traffic coming in and out, as it was a busy summer month.
Cabin camping near Tahoe National Forest offers a perfect blend of nature and comfort, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings while enjoying cozy accommodations.
