Minaret Falls Campground

This is our second time being at reds meadow campground but we actually stay at minaret falls campground. Very clean campground friendly they keep the bathrooms very maintained they are not flush toilets. There is running water you can take showers and check out red Meadows nearby they have a little store showers and the laundry also a good little cafe for quick bite highly recommend enjoy.

Although there are no showers, who really goes camping to stay squeaky clean anyway? I've spent the last handful of years camping in the mammoth lakes area and i must say my finest experience was at minaret falls. Off the beaten path it is a nice change from the over crowding i can sometimes find a convict lake. Plus, you're never going to find big foot unless you set up camp deep into the bush. Minaret Falls has a nice creek that runs lateral to the campground. A beautiful water fall was in view from our campsite which i must say was a very nice thing to wake up to every morning. Surrounded by a number of smaller lakes, it is the perfect base camp to travel out of to go fishing and/ or squatching. I would highly recommend this campground. But after reading this please stay away because i want to be the one to catch the biggest fish and capture big foot. That being said this is not Meagan its her brother Dustin. Peace.

Great campground, super friendly host, clean bathrooms, potable water from the spiket, perfect location to explore the valley. Watch the sunset on the river right before you start the campfire for the night, it's about as perfect as it gets to end the day. Also, no mosquitos ( we went mid august). Has bear lockers too..

We had a wonderful weekend camping here. A very clean, quiet, beautiful spot right by Devil's Postpile. We did have an annoying family of 12 show up at 1:00am trying to set up camp next to us in a no camping spot, shining their brights directly into our tents, talking loudly, kids running around screaming and so on. However. Ken, our camp host handled the issue and took care of the problem. Ken was a great host, so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this site.

Beautiful camping ground great for all ages! It is first come first serve... by far one of the best places to wake up and see a waterfall in the distance! Beautiful I cannot stress it enough!

Amazing camping! Great atmosphere! My only concern was the number of fishing lines and lures I found in the swimming hole.

Great host in Ken K who gave me a solid break down on the hike from the camp to Devil's Postpile and to Rainbow falls.

A basic campground in a beautiful location. This locations provides so much opportunity to enjoy. You can simply enjoy camping in the outdoors. You can enjoy small hikes to Devil's Postpile or Rainbow Falls. You can fish along the San Joaquin that has plenty of stocked rainbows and wild rainbows and browns if you persist. It also is a base for countless hikes heading towards those unique Minarets and alpine lakes at higher elevations. Get your bear canister, your permit and go spend a night or two in the backcountry.

Nice capping spot

Ok I have been spoiled by campgrounds that are nicer in my opinion. 1st: Single lane dirt road in and out with lots of sharp turns and smooth dirt hills. 2: Hard to get potable water in your trailer. 3: Unpaved or leveled campsites. 4: Not a place to go with a 25' or larger trailer 5: No flushing toilets or sinks to wash up after restroom use. This campground is better suited for rent or pop up trailers. Be wary if there is rain in the forecast if you don't have four wheel drive and are pulling a trailer. Beautiful views and fishing isn't very good in the immediate area. I will not go back with my trailer. Tent maybe. Have fun !

It's very hard to get to very time consuming the road is not kept lots of rocks you will mess up your vehicle getting there

Outstanding drive-in campground experience.
Great, quiet location. Basic services. Attentive host.
Beautiful setting. Passable fishing.
I hope to visit again.
