Personally, I have only camped in three campgrounds in the Mammoth Lakes area: New and Old Shady Rest, and the Mammoth RV Resort. All of these campgrounds are located in the town of Mammoth Lakes which has its advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, the beauty is all around you when being anywhere in Mammoth. The "in-town" campgrounds are not what I would label as "urban" campgrounds. As a matter of fact, you can camp on the edges of New Shady Rest and feel very much out in the wilderness. Both Shady Rest campgrounds are run by the National Forest Service and offer running water and flush toilets. The Mammoth RV Park is the only campground around that has full hookups. Also, being as close as you are to town affords you the ability to pick-up supplies easily and enjoy the amenities offered by various establishments around town.
New Shady Rest Campground:
On the negative side, you are camping in town and not next to a lake or river. Also, you can hear traffic from Highway 203.
Obviously, if you really want to get into the most beautiful parts of the area, you will want to camp at the lakes or Reds Meadow regions.
