Some trash throughout campsite and bathrooms were not clean. Good area though.

Quiet and cool, a beautiful area, but I was disappointed by all the trash left at the campsite by previous campers (and by dispersed campers who drove in to add trash to the overflowing dumpster). I didnt see a campground host.

Beautiful campground. Would be great if the water lines could be re-established.

People showed up at 330AM Friday morning, waking up our whole camp with a light show as they erected tents in the pre-dawn hours. Later on Friday after the campground swelled with people significantly, at midnight a pickup truck with aggressive bright white LED lights and a spot light was driving around spot lighting all the camp sites, beaming people's camps with harassing light as we were all trying to bed down - they eventually settled in site 10 after making quite a racket banging around bear lockers in multiple other sites. Otherwise, it was a nice place if not for the extremely disrespectful other campers that happened to share the grounds with us that week. Vermillion campground is very likely where we will go if we ever come back to the area.

The camp site was a decent place to set up a tent, but that's about it (River water is a couple blocks travel, pit toilets). Neighbors were noisy and flashed lights late into the night (not that parks fault). But the worst part was the road to the camp ground: forewarned it is a narrow-mountain, single lane, road with lots of pot holes (high clearance/robust vehicle highly recommended) - this was never communicated to me when I called the park for information.

Mono Creek campsite was a great alternative since reservations at Mono Hot Springs were canceled due to record breaking rain and snow fall levels in 2023. Was pleasantly surprised to see that Jennifer was our Camp Host at Mono Creek. Of the past twenty years of coming up to the area to camp and many camp hosts she is the best. Knowledgeable and informative of the area and campgrounds. She will inform and educate you on the current bear activity with knowledge of what to do to dissuade them from visiting your campsite. She addressed the dangers of the high swift river. The campsites and restrooms are cleaned on a regular basis. If there is an issue she addresses it. Jennifer makes you feel welcomed and wants you to have a wonderful experience. Doreen

I went with some friends and this was a great campsite. There werent many people there which we liked. We went to Edison lake and climbed down to mono creek which were both great hikes and didnt see anyone at either place. The bathrooms smelled awful and the stench could be smelled 20 feet away. The drive is pretty bad at the end because its all potholes for about 4 miles and we were driving Honda Accords. But it was all well worth it.

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!!!
