About Mammoth Pool

Overview

Mammoth Pool will be closed the entire 2020 - 2025 camping season due to a massive hazard tree removal.

Mammoth Pool Campground is located half a mile from the recreation area at Mammoth Pool Reservoir. This primitive campground winds through a stand of Ponderosa pine and cedar trees along the San Joaquin River in the midst of a mountainous landscape.

Recreation

Mammoth Pool Reservoir offers a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, hiking and wildlife viewing. A boat ramp is available at the reservoir.

Hikers can access the nearby French Trail, a 12.7-mile foot trail that provides access to the Ansel Adams Wilderness.Facilities

Each campsite has a picnic table, grill and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided, but campers must bring drinking water.

Campers will find a pay phone, gas and camping supplies at nearby Wagner's Mammoth Pool Resort.Natural Features
