Mammoth Lakes

Silver Lake Resort near June lake is a great campground, you can walk across the street to fish then eat at their restaurant if you like. There's a store there too that has fishing gear if you need. It's also near other lakes where there is good fishing.

Can't ride your off road stuff from there.

Easy walk to the lake for fishing, but I was a little disappointed in the camp site size, way too close to thy neighbors for sure. Things are so tight they use a forklift to park your trailer.
It was a very nice and clean place to stay, just not my style.

I am well equipped to back into most any place, I had a Class "A" commercial license for 25 years and was a mechanic that had to back rigs into my work stall virtually every day.

The person who was at the registration Kiosk said someone would be meeting us near the campsite. I went down the aisle and sure enough there he was with a forklift. I told him that I could back into the stall no problem, nope, we "assist" everyone and park trailers with a forklift. I had to drop the trailer in the middle of the road and he took over from there.
NOT a big deal to Us, but I am sure I could have backed into the stall, unhooked and been out of the road much quicker. My only complaint is how close the sites are, other than that it was a nice place. D W is very picky about restroom/showers, but used theirs for a shower since it has much more hot water than our rig :B
I get a laugh out of many campgrounds that offer me a "pull thru" site, then I tell them to save them for the more "challenged" campers and give us a more secluded site if available.

Does Brown's have dump station it looks like it could be windy?

Hi, camp at Browns campground or Glass Creek in between Mammoth and June lake. Its all dry camping but you can dump at Mammoth rv resort or shady rest campground. plenty of fishing nearby.

Check with the US Forest Service in Bishop to determine if the dump station at Rock Creek (across from French Camp) is available. It's free and open 24/7 if they've opened it. It's less than 1/4 mile off Highway 395 at the Tom's Place intersection. If it is open then camp anywhere you wish.

They have a dump station and water at Brown's-

It can get a little windy in the afternoon at Brown's but it always dies down in the late afternoon- The best part about Brown's is that there is no dust when it blows unlike a lot of the other spots in the Mountains.

Just stayed there for five days over the 4th of July and am headed back in August.
