Sherwin Creek Campground

What sets Sherwin Creek Campground apart is its tranquil position amidst a picturesque forest of Jeffrey pine, enhanced by the soothing sounds of Sherwin Creek running nearby, creating an atmosphere ideal for peace-seekers and nature lovers. Located just 1.5 miles off Old Mammoth Road in the stunning Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, the campground offers both rustic charm and practical convenience with its proximity to the vibrant town of Mammoth Lakes, California, only two miles away.

This 87-site campground is organized into three loops, with options for tents, RVs, and trailers, as well as walk-to tent-only sites for added privacy. Essential amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, food storage lockers, drinking water, and clean vault toilets. While there are no hookups or showers, the well-maintained facilities and shaded sites ensure a comfortable stay. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy, from hiking at nearby trailheads like the Valentine Lake Trail to fishing for trout in the creek, wildlife watching, and even off-road vehicle access with motocross tracks and trails available nearby.

Sherwin Creek Campground's location makes it an excellent base for exploring the Eastern Sierra's vast outdoor opportunities. Within a 30-minute drive, you can access the breathtaking John Muir Wilderness, Devils Postpile National Monument, and the Mono Basin.
