Located five miles east of U.S. 395 on Benton Crossing Road (exit at green church).
Beautiful! Quiet, big sites that are spread out right on the river. Good fishing and nice staff.
This place is beautiful - a hidden gem! The spots along the river are prime... Beautiful scenery and quick fishing. It's also ideal for riding trails with your toys... Tons of trails you can access right from the campsite. The reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is because they only take cash or check and there is no dump station for your trailer (there is one 2 miles north by convict lake). There is access to fresh water, but no hook ups. Just a tip, there is no shade and it does get windy, so bring a pop up and be ready to take it down (or bring up your awning) when it gets windy.
The sites themselves don't have water or electric access. Didn't see an area to wash dishes so I suggest you take a bucket fir this purpose. There is plenty of water access in the shower/bathroom area. Great place for star gazing as it is nice and open. 3 bathroom stalls n 2 sinks in female restrooms. Total of 5 private showers. Per TOKEN, Hot water lasts depending on how much hot water you use. I managed to shower with warm water in a matter of 10mins.
The camp ground is $40 a night, it is close to Mammoth lake area.
There are some hot springs around.
Also it is easy drive to Yosemite too.
There is a picnic table and a fire pit at the camp site, it is a flat, you have little to no privacy, yet you have a good view of the mountains. You get something and lose something I guess.
There is a general store, bathroom and shower! You heard it right shower, and it is hot! $2 per token from the general store! Well worthy it after a long day of exploring! So remember to bring a towel with you when you travel or pay another 2 dollar.
This is a great spot if you are into fishing the upper Owens River. All dry camping but water is available for your RV. Closest dump station that I know of is the water district in Mammoth or just past the forest service station on the left on Rock Creek Rd
