    We love love love this KOA. This is probably the cleanest, nicest, prettiest KOA's we have ever…read morestayed at. Love the pup pens behind the rv spots. We feel comfortable putting our two pups in there while we sit out and chill. Thanks Tim and Scott for all you do!

    While I have never written a review previously, I feel compelled to do so here. Took my family to…read moresee if we could make a reservation. Signage was incomplete. While website said they closed at 8pm, we arrived before 8pm to find them already closed. While there is a stop sign advising to check-in and register, there is nothing that says you cannot enter the property. Onsite security was completely rude and unprofessional. He asked if I had a pass for my vehicle. I explained that we were looking to see if there was a room available. He said a phone call would have worked (extremely rude) and then told us to get off the property. I asked again if there were any rooms available and he replied he did not know. He hit the side of my truck with his hand and told us to leave and then he walked away. The kids in the truck were upset by him hitting it. At one point, I was attempting to read their posted signage where you are supposed to register. While they have instructions for "after hours" check in, security came back and threatened to call the police. I advised I was reading the afterhours check in information, to which he responded that was for the RV park, not hotel. I asked why the security personnel was being so rude and he responded because he was tired. Nonetheless, give a person a little power, and it gets abused. I have not seen a similar inferiority complex by security at any of the many KOA campgrounds or unaffiliated hotels ever. Total jerk and we will never go back. And, we are going to make sure all of our fellow RV/hotel friends know NOT to give this place their business. It's a shame too. The park looked nice. They will continue to lose business as long as this guy is allowed to run around in a threatening manner to potential customers, including those with kids in the car. It truly was unreal and 100% unprofessional and inappropriate.

    Aspen trees for miles…read more I always make a point to stop here just to witness the Aspens changing color, a breathtaking transformation that typically peaks in late October. It's absolutely worth the short detour. Located approximately 20 mins from Yosemite's entrance at Tioga Pass. These golden groves are located just before the entrance to the campground. While I'm not much of a camper myself, I did stroll through the site to get a feel for it just incase I ever change and become a camper. It's serene, quiet, and beautifully nestled alongside Lee Vining Creek. The area is shaded by trees and offers amenities like restrooms and picnic tables. If camping is your thing, I recommend checking out their website for more details. Even if you're not into camping, catching the Aspens in their autumn glory should be on your list if you're in the area between late October and early November.

    I'm very hesitant to review this campground, because we wanted to keep this special Eastern Sierra…read moreNevada hideaway all to ourselves. We arrived on a Friday afternoon without a reservation, and began to mildly panic one we learned most of the sites had already been taken. Luckily we came across some super friendly Aspen Campground regulars, who invited us to share their double site which just happened to be situated in a prime spot right next to the beautifully bustling river - SCORE! The Big draw to Aspen is hands down the fishing. It just so happened that right before we arrived the local hatchery dropped a load of fresh trouts, ready to be hooked! This was my first time fishing, and I was able to catch (and Cook) my very first fish! If you like to fish and you like to camp, going to Aspen is a no brainer. The trees are also large and plentiful, so if you come, don't forget to pack your hammock!

    The campground is 5stars, the best. Not too thrilled with the hosts this year, new group this year…read more I did not have any personal issues with them, but they were the grumpiest I've experienced their. I have been going to this campground for over 50 yrs, of course there weren't hosts back then, but they could be a bit more friendly. Last year,especially, they were great. Would also like to add, the hosts are not running it well. Come up to station after coming back from Kiva. There was 5 trailers deep, they had a cone in the bypass lane. Y??? Every one had to wait. Again, unnecessary

    First time staying at this campground and we loved it! Most of the campground is pretty shaded…read morewhich was so nice. We didn't need to put up any shade structures at our site. Everyone was very friendly. The campsite is very level and perfect for riding bikes. The bathrooms have real toilets and showers and we're pretty clean. We loved our stay! The only weird thing is that we purchased a parking pass for the parking lot to be closer to the lake since we had kayaks to bring in. The lady that sold us the pass told us that she sells unlimited passes, despite there only being about 20 spots. We asked if that meant that even though we purchase a spot, does that mean there's a possibility of not getting a spot? And she said yes! I don't understand this method of selling parking passes. They should find a better way otherwise they are just taking peoples money for no reason... we bought a pass at 7:30 am and went up to the lot at 9am and we got one of the last spots. That's a big bummer for anyone else buying a pass.

    I can't believe nobody has reviewed this awesome hike yet! The hike begins at Mono Village…read moreCampground which can be found by turning onto Twin Lakes road in Bridgeport and taking said road all the way to end, which is the Campground. You can park in the day use area if you're just doing a day hike but if you plan on doing backcountry camping, you'll need to pay them the $10 bucks to leave your car overnight. That $10 will buy you up to 7 days of parking. Follow the road between the maze of tents and motor homes until you reach the sign that marks the official beginning of the trail to Barney Lake. Take that trail roughly 4 miles up and you'll find it. It's simply gorgeous and an amazing view up there. From here, you can turn around and head back or continue up the trail to Robinson Lakes, Crown Lake, Snow Lake, and eventually, Yosemite National Park. The trail is very easy to follow and is mostly on an even level. There's switchbacks towards the end as you near the lake, but they're not bad incline wise. From car to lake and back to the car, it's just a hair over 9 miles. This is one of my favorite hikes in the area and I do it at least once or twice every season. Just please be respectful and leave no trace. Also, this area is known to be popular with Bears. I've personally never seen one here, but a lot of others have. That being said, you have nothing to be fearful of. If you do come across one, give it plenty of room and respect and you'll be fine and for god's sake DON'T FEED THEM! Or any wildlife for that matter. You have no idea how many moronic tourist I yell at for feeding squirrels and deer. Lol.
