Mammoth in May (advice)

We always camp in may, its free and decently warm and then poach the mammoth inn hottub/pool and use the showers.

Interesting.. Do you camp in the RV campgrounds or is there another area?

I've camped in two places, it depends on how much snow they have really. There is a scenic loop right before mammoth, after the town but before the first parking area you cant miss it and you just turn off that road somewhere and find a nice flat area. The other place I've camped is right off the highway and instead of turning left to go to the town of mammoth you take a right and drive up into the hills there. Im not sure how "legal" the camping is but my buddy camped for a month two years in a row in the two different places and never got hassled.

Hope that helps. The mammoth inn isnt too expensive in the spring but I wouldn't expect to pay less than like $100 a night.

Word thanks for the help Heath.

Yeah if its super warm and their snowpack is low (which I believe it is this year) the scenic loop is the place to be, its like 3 mins from town, 3 mins from mammoth. The spot out by the highway is definitely 4-5 degrees warmer but you're 10 mins from mammoth and 3 or 4 min from town.

EHEATH FTW!!!!
