Plus, social media and content creators are trying to blow this spot up. But it is just always so dreamy here with the blue turquoise waters. I love that we can rent paddle boards and kayaks here, so no need to pack your own. The water temperature is medium cold so on a hot day it feels amazing to just chill and float.

The beach is beautiful and loved taking my family. What was terrible was the senior parking…read moreattendant, she was very rude. We had two car loads and only one car could get in. She said there was no more parking spots which was untrue when my daughter went in to find 6 spots available. When we turned around and went back she still did not allow us in. The beach was not even crowded. Felt some people were being selected and some weren't. Other than that it's such a place to visit with your family

Okay, the parking is terrible but if you're patient and parking lot pimpin', there will be an open spot for you! The water is freezing here in the summer but that is why I love it so much! I love being the 1 out of 3 people who swims here lol. If you want to fish here, I promise there's no fish here. We can never catch anything here! 10/10 will always visit again.

Pedal kayaking is done with your feet, like bike riding, instead of with your arms. + CLRMR's 4-person pedal kayak raft is secure, reliable, and good quality. + Pleasant ambience. Aside from 1 or 2 other boats blasting music, it's almost like we had the whole lake to ourselves. . Life vests are under our seats, and optional. . No seat belts. . Lotta fishers here, - so gotta be careful not to pedal close to their lines. - 4 stinky, under-maintained restrooms (37°35'38.8"N 118°51'04.4"W). - Water spigot not working. + Free parking, - but very crowded.

We had such a fun time at Crowley Lake! We've been here before with friends who have been coming…read morefor years, but this was only our second trip. We rented a pontoon boat, spent the day fishing, and had a great time. My husband caught 6 perch, which made his day! We also went over to check out the columns, and they were really cool to see. Renting the boat was super easy, and Vince was awesome. He helped us leave the dock and was there when we came back in. He made everything really simple. The little store has pretty much everything you might need too :) fishing poles, bait, shirts, hats, and other gear at good prices. Also there are restrooms in the back past the fish cleaning station that are clean! Overall, it was just an awesome day on the lake. We'll definitely be back next year :)

We came to watch the 4th of July fireworks. I knew it would be busy but didn't realize how busy…read more Piece of advice, get there early!! If you can, spend the day there. You can bring a camper, food and bbq. The lake is big and the area is beautiful. It's great for fireworks because there are no trees so no obstructions and no matter where you stand, you're going to get a good view. There are lots of little bugs, so beware. Also, it took 1 hour to leave the parking area. This was my only complaint. They need better organization, especially since they charge $30 per car.

We came here in the summer. As a family, had a great time! They have day pass as well as per…read moreactivity based tickets. We took the day pass. We did mountain coaster, tubing, bungee trampoline, rock climbing, archery, ropes challenge. Everything was fun and the staff were nice and friendly. It's highly recommended to show up at opening time itself if you want to do everything and multiple times. :) The adventure pass also allows you to use the gondola ride up mammoth mountain which is a must to do. Definitely go till the top and spend some time exploring the mountain top. You can also have lunch up there. All in all great time. Highly recommend.

I was hesitant to do this ahead of time as I didn't want to purchase it and then arrive and find out we couldn't go for some reason. When we got there the WiFi was so bad that we almost left before we were finally able to sign up for the insurance using our phones. The site states they have coaches available but that was not really accurate. The employee there was very nice and fun but was not too knowledgeable about the tricks or equipment available, she did not know how to use the harnesses that were there so we were not able to utilize those at all. There are some small skis, a snowboard, and a skateboard for use on the trampolines which was pretty fun. There are two trampoline rooms, only one was available while we were there which was not a problem as the kids were able to switch off and rear in between turns. This was definitely a highlight of our mammoth vacation, and if we lived in mammoth I'm sure we would be visiting frequently.
