September 6-10, 2026 - Mammoth Lakes, CA…read more What would you like to do? Fish, hike, cycle, kayak, paddle board? You can do all that right from this campground. Book early, and choose your site carefully. A few sites are private with lots of room, most are in a more open camping area with sites fairly close together. And with generator hours 6AM - 10PM, it can be a bit noisy if you have a neighbor who came to watch TV in their RV and run the generator all day. We were lucky. We reserved a great site near the lake. The camp hosts Ralph and Virginia are great, very present and helpful. There's plenty to do right from the campground. You can access a waterfall hike, the 5-mile paved Lakes Basin Path for walking or cycling, and the lake for fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There are also plenty of other lakes nearby if you want to explore a little farther. The general store (currently for sale) is an easy walk from the campground, as is Tamarack Lodge & Resort, where you can grab food and drinks if you're willing to pay resort prices. The general store has a good selection of supplies and also offers a dump station for a $20 fee. You can also catch the FREE trolley here that will take you into town. One downside: the showers weren't working during our stay because of low water pressure. Overall, a great location if you want to spend your time outside actually enjoying the outdoors rather than driving somewhere to find it.

Recommendation: Definitely reserve a spot ahead of time if you want to get the sites closest to the creeks. Otherwise it's a great place to stay. We had site #77 and loved it. Would definitely consider coming back!

We typically do not order off of the happy hour menu, but we decided what the heck prices seem to be better, Let's give it a shot. Keep in mind we've done this a few times here and there's never been an issue substitution wise for ordering tacos, however on this visit, we were told we could not do any substitutions which I thought was kind of odd as I'm not a seafood fan so I simply requested to have one of the other whether it be Asada or Pollo instead of a trio and not the seafood. After many discussions with our server, and then the manager that was on duty, I was told they're absolutely was no substitutions which I thought was unreasonable ,so after a long time customerI decided we would just not order and close out our bill and this put a sour taste in my mouth about LaCosina. They continue to raise their prices and now not offer choices, and not cater to those who do not like seafood. I am saddened to say, but we will no longer be a customer at La Cosina.

It's located right next to the Village and there's everything you need in town if you forget anything you can walk to the Mammoth visitor center. You have to take a shower in the RV park located across the street which was $8 when we went but they are nice granite bathrooms with individual stalls and men and women showers are separate with no time limit. The bathroom by our camp site didn't have any lighting at night though our campsite #24 was perfect we had 2 cars and we only brought 4 chairs but there was 5 of us so luckily the table was located right next to the campfire so we had enough seating. There was a water spout and bear box and trash can located pretty close to our site. It was a little weird driving in without having to check in though but they eventually come by and ask for fees if you have an extra car or anything. We bought firewood at Vons for around $7 a bundle. The ski resort is located only 14 minutes away and we went to wild willys hot springs. At night there were a lot of moths so be prepared for that but other than that everyone was super nice up there and it was a chill spot to camp at I'd go there again for sure only $22 a night $78 for 3 nights after fees. Also the weather we thought it would be freezing at night it said it would drop to the low 40s high 30s but we only slept with 1 blanket and we're fine.

Do not take it from Devil's Postpile because it will add 1.5 miles of open sun hike to the falls. Once there, reward yourself with glass of wine and lunch.
