There’s nothing quite like camping in Mammoth Lakes. Spending time away from home at one of the Inyo National Forest campgrounds is one of the best ways to unplug and relax in nature. The Mammoth Lakes area is home to more than 800 campsites, many of them located near alpine lakes and in forested streamside settings.
Whether you want to pitch a tent with views of an alpine lake or under a forest of Jeffrey Pine, there are plenty of places to camp in Mammoth Lakes. There are options for all types of campers: Campgrounds close to hiking trails and alpine lakes, RV camping with the comfort of having your home with you, or dispersed camping without bathrooms, trash cans, running water or campfire rings. |

| NEW: White Water Rafting in Yosemite Mariposa County |
| Thrill-seekers thirst for the haystacks, funnels and hairy drops of Yosemite whitewater rafting. Located just outside the Park in the steep Merced River Canyon, a Merced River rafting trip is the ultimate choice for edge-of-the-raft excitement. In spring these Class II to Class IV rapids are all the rage with names such as Nightmare Alley, Stark Reality and Corner Pocket. As the summer heats up and the flow decreases, much of the river becomes easy Class I ripples perfect for sun-bathing on calm backwaters and chilling with friends. |
