I have camped in the Mammoth area about 15 times in the past 20+ years and well over 100 times for thousands of nights overall in my life. I love the opportunity to visit and see so much in the Mammoth area. Old Shady Rest campground is well maintained. Site 21 was clean at arrival and the bathrooms were clean. The campground host is very friendly.However, I will not stay at this campground again. We had made the reservations for this site about 30 days in advance and the campground was full for the first 2 nights (of 3 nights). There was a large motor home in the space immediately next door and I could see a generator sitting behind it within 25 feet of our "campsite". Before setting up, I went down and asked the campground if we could move, as we were using tents. Unfortunately, no place to move to. We set up our tents at the far side of the campsite.Each night, the generator was on from about 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm, and from about 7:00 am to 9:00 am each morning. The first night we were sitting around the campfire completely unable to talk without literally shouting. My ears hurt from the noise. We all went to bed about 9 pm. Even with ear plugs and a stocking cap covering my ears, I was unable to block out the noise. He moved the generator the next day and we think a tree blocked some of the noise, but it was still unpleasantly loud.The host indicated the rules allow a generator to operate between 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. The loudness of THAT generator was also excessive. No rules on limiting the loudness. Whether it is the concessionaire or the Forest Service that sets that policy, it needs to be changed. They could also segregate tent campers from RV campers.The proximity of this campground to the main street in Mammoth, also brings with it plenty of traffic noise. At least once each night, I was awakened to extremely loud vehicles on the roads.As I stated, I will not stay at Old Shady Rest Campground again.

Great campground, though deferred maintenance is becoming a problem. Pavement needs repair, bathrooms need new sinks and toilets, and a paint job wouldnt hurt.

Our camping trip was great. The camp site is well manicured and clean. Having flush toilets is a plus. The Hosts were helpful and accommodating to our inquiries. Camping in mid September turned out to our advantage as there were no pasty mosquitoes or flies. The location of Old Shady Rest is very accessible to the accommodations of Mammoth Lakes town.
