Had a single camp spot (not group). Was quiet after 10:00 and not a lot of noise before 9:00. Close to town, so very convenient. Would stay at Pine Glen again

@CurtG3CF244CAB · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #2

Camp host is awesome. Each space has tons of room. Great campground!

@SteveM7756642 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #12

Pine Glen, is a great sub area of shady rest. A combination of a few single site, small and large group sites. There is easy access to the forest and shady rest park and frisbee golf course.

@RebeccaH696815 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #20

I brought a group of families with boys to spot #20. It was easy distance from a lot of tourist/site-seeing destinations. The spot allowed for 15 people. The site had plenty of places to pitch tents, three bear boxes, two picnic tables, standing fire grill, and a large fire ring with flip over grill. There were flushing toilets at an easy walking distance, potable water faucet was right by the site, and easy walking distance to bear safe trash cans and recycling boxes. They even provide buckets at the potable water stations so you can douse your fires for safety. Our main issues were the lack of showers, firewood, and extra vehicle fees. If you want to shower, you need to go to the RV park across the road, only between the hours of 10am and 5pm to buy a $10 shower ticket and if their line was too long and you arrive at the desk at 5:10pm, then you cannot shower. If the campground has flushing toilets, they should have paid showers somewhere between the three adjoined campgrounds... maybe up by the entrance. Firewood bundles were sold for $9-11 and you cannot bring your own wood to prevent the spread of insects and disease... you are allowed to harvest fallen pinecones and wood to use, but most was too green and smoked terribly. Now regarding extra vehicle fees, they count short trailers that are the same length as a van or truck, the same as an RV and therefore you must pay 3 vehicles worth of fees for that one trailer. You cannot pay those extra vehicle fees up front so you need cash/check the day of to give to the host when they come by. Also the driveway to park in was a tad too narrow, but we were still able to fit one small trailer, its tow vehicle, a van, a truck, and an SUV... but we had to pay over $100 in extra vehicle fees. Would we camp here again? Yes - but will plan for and bring more cash to cover showers and vehicle fees... and get to the showers EARLY!

The host was very helpful! The tree felling was pretty noisy.Close to town and yet nice and wooded!

@DorisM6443928 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #16

Really liked the location of this campground - close to town, yet just far enough away that still quiet, peaceful. The pine forest setting is really pretty. The space was a bit tight to back into (towing a trailer) with the trees, rocks - just took a couple of tries but it was level, which was actually a nice surprise. Great location to get out for day hikes in Mammoth area - so many to choose from. Bathrooms were pretty decent. Used the potable water to fill up our camelbacks for hiking, that was convenient. Camp host was friendly, and suggested some places to hike, see. We would definitely stay here again.

@STEVENY5476992 · Camped on Aug 24, 2023 at Campsite #6

We stayed near the group campsites at Site #6. The site is large, fairly level, has plenty of trees and shade, and the camp hosts were very organized and greeted us with information already prepared and left at our site upon our arrival. Bathrooms were clean.Reason for there stars for this particular site is the group campsite area was the next set of sites over. On our particular weekend, the Mammoth Lakes chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous hosted a large event and cars were overflowing into the road. They had set up speakers and a podium and were doing open mic during the evening and I could hear everything they were saying at our site. I have not read the rules, so maybe this is an exception granted to group sites, but I was surprised this was allowed given the normal campsite rules.

@RachelL4774006 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #4

Great Spot close to the bathrooms host kept them very clean. Will come back.

@GangaS27ABF4AB · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #16

Lot of noise from tree felling.I feel that we should have been notified of it prior and/or offered a discount for that reason.

@snCE2386C73457 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #19

The length of generator use was plenty long 6am-10pm would be better if it wasn't starting until 8am we go camping to get away from the noise.Other NF campgrounds generator use is usually much more restricted.

@MatthewP515566 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #1

Camp host was nice and knowledgeable about the area. Fewer bugs than by the lakes, but you can hear the road at night.

@ChristiCFB8758 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #16

Campsites were spaced quite nicely and the fire pit, table, grill, and bear box were clean. It was a nice place to take my boyfriend tent camping for his first time ever since it was woodsy but also close to all the grocery stores etc in town. The bathrooms were clean and we only waited one time in the morning to use them. There are no showers so factor that into your plans.

@DeniseOF345297 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #1

I love this Campground. I've stayed here a few times. Great for group camping. Lots of room in their group sites

@RebeccaP599017 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #15

Site 15 is small and cramped for a large group - we usually get a site on the outside of the ring rather than the inside. Site was clean and well maintained.

@RaymondM260053 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #12

Very nice and clean and the camp host was very friendly and helpful

@CYNTHIAW5BEC3C · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #2

The best experience we’ve ever had.

@KirkS4559615 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #18

Sites were clean, and bathrooms were in good shape.

@JulieL6668775 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #11

We had group spot number 11 and I felt it was the best in the place! The view was like you were in the middle of the forest and the bathrooms were right in front of your rv. No traffic sounds, trails all around you. Close to town. Perfect spot to get away and still be close enough to town. Next year we will for sure book this spot again

@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Sep 23, 2022 at Campsite #19

Great camp site. Easy access for my class B. Camp host welcomed me and was friendly , courteous and professional.

@Gabriella40742 · Camped on Sep 21, 2022 at Campsite #4

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Sep 13, 2022 at Campsite #6

Nice & quiet campground with a great camp host. The bathrooms are clean. Short walk to town.

@JacobM7775883 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #11

Perfect spot, plenty of space, lots of trees and shade!

@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #6

Mark the camp host is the best host I have ever had in all the Mammoth camp sites, when he has a day off it is VERY noticeable, the other host don't do a good job and are not as friendly either. He makes you feel at home in you site and runs a tight ship, I will definitely be back soon just because of him, thanks again Mark.

@DouglasR824462 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #11

Loved the camp

@SamuelA8653553 · Camped on Jun 26, 2022 at Campsite #14

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
