From Mammoth Lakes, CA take State Rt. 203 east 1 mile to US Rt. 395. Bear left onto Rt. 395 (north) to Lee Vining and go 7.3 miles to Owens River Rd sign. Turn right at sign and go 2.1 miles to campground on left.
Amazing family camping area. Lots of hiking and fun things to do close by.
I have been camping here off and on for 45 years. At one time they had trash services. The fishing regulations were within the law. Now there's no trash service and the fishing restrictions are very severe. They no longer stock the stream and the place is very worn down. The fire to the east didn't help things either. The campost is very uptight and wines and cries about all the people that come through. He should most likely just hang it up and quit crying about everything. This place is still has lots of potential and there's definitely a lot of room for improvement. They should bring back the trash service stock the stream and they can even charge per night. But I think Alpers down the way had too much say about what goes on over there.
This place is a fun little motel. The interior of my room was full of country decor, which I like. I was there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and boy was it busy because there was a music festival nearby. The worker, Maddy, sure had her hands full. I can't belive one person ran that whole place by herself. She was really helpful to me and even let me use her cell phone as my wasn't working. The only low point was Monday morning when I was leaving. I was having my morning coffee in the fantastic patio area and I guess a manager was there with her dog and she started to bad mouth the other worker as I'm just trying to be peaceful and i didn't want to hear it. I felt really uncomfortable. Plus the dog wouldn't stop barking so I left. Other than that I would recommend this place. Close to stores and restaurants.
Steve the camp host was great. Had clean bathrooms (pit toliets) and was very quiet the night we were there. Close to fishing and hunting.
