Sherwin Creek was a beautiful, relatively quiet campground. We also came across some of the friendliest campers staying there. There are lots of great hikes within walking distance or within a short drive and the creek running through the campground was a nice place to cool down after a few hot days. Some things to keep in mind/be prepared for:1. YOU WILL VERY LIKELY BE VISITED BY BEARS. We had at least 2 visits during our 3-night stay. One in daylight around 6p while we were making dinner. The bear came within 6 feet of us. He/she was, of course, interested in our food and was not at all bothered by us humans a first, but seemingly got annoyed by our loudness and casually walked away after about a minute. The second was at night near the bathrooms and was relatively uneventful.2. The bathrooms are some of the smelliest pit toilets I have come across. I recommend having a mask and/or some bathroom spray to help mask the smell.Overall, I do think that Sherwin Creek is a great place to stay in the Mammoth area, but you will need to be OK with sharing your campsite with wildlife/bears, and potentially even plan to take your burners/stoves and food elsewhere to cook dinner, as we did the rest of our stay. There are plenty of lakes to sit by while you eat!

We made reservations for a walk-in site. For some reason every single tree had been cut down so all that was left was a dusty area with a bear box and picnic table. We decided to get a hotel.
