What campers say

Friendly, attentive camp hosts and well‑maintained, spacious sites make this a pleasant, quiet spot with a creek running through the campground. It’s conveniently located for access to Mammoth Lakes and nearby hikes. Amenities include bear boxes, picnic tables and fire pits; hosts sell firewood. Expect dry camping with vault (non‑flushing) toilets and no hookups or showers, and dusty access roads and campsites at times. Bears are active in the area, so secure all food and follow bear‑safety rules. Overall a natural, family‑friendly campground with basic facilities and helpful on‑site hosts.

📖 About This Campground

Sherwin Creek Campground is located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains within 2 miles of the full-service community of Mammoth Lakes, California. Popular among anglers, hikers, off-road vehicle enthusiasts and photographers, the campground is near some of the most spectacular wilderness and outdoor recreation areas in the Sierras. This large campground has campsites organized into three loops, all within walking distance of the creek. Several tent-only, walk-to sites make up another loop in a secluded area on either side of the creek. Sites have a native surface and plenty of shade. With a motocross track and trails, Sherwin Creek is a hot spot for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. The area's majestic scenery and challenging trails are also a draw for hikers. The Valentine Lake Trail and additional trailheads provide access to the John Muir Wilderness. The eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains are known for their exceptional trout fishing. Anglers can try for rainbow trout in the creek.
