    Twin Lakes Campground

    crowded and sites are close together

    This campground seems more fitted to those using campers more so than those tent camping.

    I saw very few tent campers and the RV's and tow behind campers were the majority here.

    I managed to grab a decent site, I think it was 36.  Tucked in a wooded area not far from the restrooms.  Which are flush toilets and running water.  Clean and well maintained.

    Site was a bit muddy and wasn't that easy to find a level spot for a tent.  A bit of garbage was left on site and trash in the bear box.  All sites have a picnic table, fire ring and bear box.

    Noise level was higher than I prefer but then again if I'm not just hearing nature, it's too loud for me.

    Pretty lakes, waterfalls and a nice area to venture around.

    Traffic in Mammoth can get pretty busy.

    Reds Meadow Campground

    great campground with a great staff

    I stayed here for 3 nights while section hiking the Pacific crest trail & everyone I came into contact that worked at reds meadoow was extremely helpful and polite. there's a restaurant (diner food) that's open 8am - 6pm (check hours) & also a general store that sells all your camping needs. there was also a free shuttle from Reds Meadows to mammoth mountain ski lodge where you can catch a bus into Mammoth lakes.

    campground has multiple concrete buildings with toilets & running water as well as bear boxes & fire pits. also a steam depending on time of season.

    Reds Meadow Campground

    Tiny slice of Heaven in Devils Postpile National Monumental

    This is a small, well kept campground. It’s within walking distance to Lake Sotcher as well as Reds Meadow Pack station and trailheads for Rainbow Falls and Devils Postpile. For now they have bathrooms with running water and flush toilets. There are also water faucets located throughoutcampground. Sites are well maintained and spaced well apart for privacy.

    Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground

    Super family friendly and in town!

    We 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!

    Lower Lee Vining

    Great campsite,its first come first serve. more relaxed and looser rules than most places I've been. Access to the tioga pass and about an hour and a half drive to Yosemite valley with no traffic. Many creeks and lakes near by. The one down side is that there is no running water. If need be access to the town is super easy and there a a gas station located near by. thebfishing in near by lakes is awesome was well. For sure making another trip in the near future

    Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground

    Great for all sizes

    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. 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.

    Lundy Canyon Campground

    Shhhhh! This beautiful campground is a well kept secret

    Three major accidents put us way behind schedule on our way to find a site at Yosemite, Tioga Pass, and June Lake. Fortunately, I still prefer guidebooks and was able to find this site. Apparently it's not a well publicized spot because it's run by Mono County and not NPS or CSP. But the location is great: close to Mono Lake, Bodie, and away from the crowds at Yosemite. You have the sound of running water from the creek and Lundy Lake is nearby. 

    The weather is also perfect. On an August day, it never got hotter than 75 degrees during the day and the coldest it got was 26 degrees at night. If you need supplies, there is a resort further down with a very small mercantile, but it closes early. Your closest store is Mono Market in Lee Vining. Bring water or a filtration system because there is only a non-potable water spigot.

    Secluded Sites

    Almost all of the sites on this campground are secluded from one another due to the density of the trees. There are bear boxes, a picnic, and a fire pit for each camp site.

    Mono Vista RV Park

    Nice place to spend a few nights

    We stayed here for four nights.  Originally only booked two, but because of the recent fires in the Sierra Mountains, many people had cancelled and the park wasn't very full.  So we added two more nights.  Very cute little town of Lee Vining along Highway 395 in California.  Our views of the mountains and Mono Lake were a bit obscured by the wildfire smoke drifting through the area as it was in much of the west at this time. But we could tell that without the smoke, the views would be awesome.  The spaces are bit close together, but nice lawns and facilities.  Walk to grocery store, Mono Cone burger joint, sporting goods/hardware store, etc.
