Another RV adventure

McGee Creek RV Park in Mammoth Lakes California

Welcoming Entry to the Park Grounds

We are on another adventure with our 5^th Wheel this week!  First stop was McGee Creek RV Park, and I have to say it is one of the best parks we have ever stayed at. 

The office has charm as well as the staff.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.  Since they did not have any pull-through sites as requested, they gave us a large site Creekside.  I’m not the best at backing up a 36-foot RV, so one of the owners, Steve came down and assisted me with this task.  We were parked in record time and set-up for our stay.

Steve is the man, always helpful!

Right behind our RV was McGee Creek.  Since snow is still melting, the creek was running like a river.  Too fast for fishing but it actually took the weather down about 10 degrees for us because the water was in the 30’s, and at our site the temperature never got above 80F even though the higher ground was at least 90 degrees F+.

We spent a lot of time talking to fellow campers.  It seems that this type of camping has its own subculture.  Everyone was very friendly and we felt the camaraderie right away.  We spent time at neighbor’s camps as they did at ours, and our stay was most enjoyable because of that.

We went the second day to Convict Lak, about 10 miles north of our camp to hike and take pictures.  This lake and its subsequent surroundings are so majestic that it feels like a testimonial to our creator!  Many families were fishing there, some on shore and some in boats, and catching rainbow and brown trout.  Others were hiking around the lake and taking pictures.  If you ever get the chance, go to this lake and see for yourself the natural beauty and magnificence of the scenery!

Our campsite was number 20 with a full view of the creek.

I’ll be back soon to report on the next part of the adventure.  We are now in the Reno, Nevada area camping and looking at properties that we just might buy this trip. 

Leaving with a great feeling and we will be back!!
