Cabin accommodations throughout the Mammoth Lakes region range from basic to fully furnished units. Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground and Camp High Sierra both offer cabin rentals with varied amenities including electricity and indoor facilities. Most cabins include bear-resistant food storage boxes, picnic tables, and access to shared bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. "The bathrooms were amazing and clean. The pool and spa is indoors and well laid out," commented one visitor about the Mammoth Mountain facilities. Crowley Lake RV Park provides cabin options with electricity, water hookups, and on-site showers, while Rock Creek Lake Campground features more rustic cabin accommodations with nearby drinking water and toilet facilities.
Several campgrounds in the area maintain seasonal operation schedules, with most cabins available from late spring through early fall. Holiday Campground offers cabins from April to October, while Camp High Sierra operates from July through mid-September. According to one visitor, "We loved that we had access to most of the eastern Sierras and to the Mammoth area itself." Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing pets in cabin areas, though restrictions apply. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months, particularly for weekend stays, as availability becomes limited at popular destinations like Rock Creek Lake and Mammoth Mountain.
Basic cabins typically provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with grates to cabins with small refrigerators and microwaves. All cabin occupants should bring food supplies, though some campgrounds like Mammoth Mountain RV Park offer on-site stores with essential items. One camper noted, "The location is right near town and not a far drive from most of the lakes." Bear activity is common throughout the region, making proper food storage mandatory—many cabins come equipped with bear boxes, and campers must follow strict guidelines for securing food, trash, and scented items.

Rangerthe 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.

GuideLower 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.

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!
Hans V.RangerTuolumne 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.

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.

TravelerEsmeralda Market & RV
Amazing Campground Host
The campground is no longer managed by Esmeralda Market. They gave us the number for the campground host. Her name is Charlene. 760-920-0409. She will only be there during the summer. She met us at spot 20 & signed us in. No charge for the spot. If you want a shower it’s $15/person. The bathrooms were clean & the area was quiet. We stayed only one night. I would camp there again!
Guide to Toms Place
Cabins near Toms Place, California provide access to high-elevation recreation between 6,500-9,500 feet in the Eastern Sierra. The region experiences dramatic temperature variations, with summer nights often dropping to the 40s even when daytime temperatures reach the 70s. Winter access to many cabin rentals becomes limited by snow, with most facilities closing between October and May depending on elevation.
What to do
Lake access for fishing: Several fishing spots surround cabin accommodations, with Rock Creek Lake offering trout fishing opportunities. "The lake will have you amazed with how clean the water is. It's crystal clear and crisp," notes a camper at Rock Creek Lake Campground.
Hot springs exploration: Natural thermal springs provide relaxing soaks after hiking. Near Keoughs Hot Springs and Campground, one visitor recommends: "We rode our bikes down the dirt road, looked for the overhead electrical lines and found some open hot springs. We had the place to ourselves and it was deep enough to sit in and get a good warm soak."
Hiking to alpine lakes: The North Fork Trail from Big Pine Creek leads to glacier-fed lakes with distinctive colors. "We hiked out and back in 6.5 hours, taking an hour respite for a polar bear plunge in the near freezing lake," explains a visitor describing the first two of seven alpine lakes.
What campers like
Indoor recreation options: During inclement weather, some cabin facilities offer indoor activities. At Camp High Sierra, a visitor mentioned: "Clean showers, very family oriented, lots of kids. 41° at 6pm on June 17th. Game room."
Easy town access: Cabins situated near Mammoth Lakes provide quick access to urban amenities while maintaining a forest setting. A tent camper at Mammoth Mountain RV Park noted: "I 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!"
Spacious sites with utilities: Many cabin and RV sites include water and electrical connections. At Pine Cliff Resort, a camper observed: "Bathrooms and showers are very clean. We stayed in the large spaces that have electricity and water only. Very quiet and nice."
What you should know
Bear activity requires vigilance: Bears frequent cabin areas throughout the region. At Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground, a camper warned: "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."
Altitude affects temperature and comfort: Higher elevation cabins experience colder nights and require additional preparation. "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 mosquitoes the whole time," noted a visitor at Rock Creek Lake Campground.
Seasonal closures limit availability: Many cabin facilities operate only during summer months. Holiday Campground operates from April to October, while at Mono Hot Springs, a visitor clarified that "the road is closed most of the year. So open and close dates vary depending on snow."
Tips for camping with families
Look for fishing ponds specifically for children: Some locations offer dedicated fishing areas for younger visitors. At Big Pine Creek Campground, "There is a small trout pond near the entrance that folks were capitalizing on. They were also fishing the creek."
Choose cabins with playgrounds: Some facilities include play areas for children. One visitor to Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground mentioned: "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."
Consider cabin accommodations with laundry access: Extended stays with children benefit from laundry facilities. At Reds Meadow Campground, a visitor explained that "There's a market & cafe which are pricey but do a booming business anyway. Showers & laundry are available for pay. Flushing toilets by the store are a welcome treat."
Tips from RVers
Prepare for limited hookup options: Even at RV parks, not all sites offer full hookups. A visitor to Pine Cliff Resort cautioned: "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."
Understand dump station logistics: Plan for potential congestion at dump facilities. At Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground, a camper observed: "Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early."
Use campsite mats on dirt sites: Some RV sites have unpaved surfaces that can become dusty. "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," recommended an RVer at Mammoth Mountain RV Park.
