About

Coldwater Campground has 77 campsites at 8,900 feet in the Mammoth Lakes Basin. Sites occupy two loops in pine forest beside Coldwater and Mammoth Creeks, with boulders throughout the campground. Lake Mary is nearby. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and bear-resistant food locker. Drinking water and flush toilets are provided, but there are no hookups or showers. Food and scented items must be stored in the lockers, and trash must go in the bear-resistant receptacles. Dogs must be leashed, with no more than two pets per site. The Duck Pass Trail climbs the hillside behind the campground, passes several lakes and connects with the John Muir Trail beyond Duck Pass. Lake Mary provides fishing for rainbow, brook and brown trout.

Directions

From U.S. Highway 395, take State Highway 203 west through Mammoth Lakes. Continue onto Main Street and Lake Mary Road toward the Lakes Basin, then turn left at the Coldwater Campground cutoff.
