So I started looking at campsites today. I would like to spend Friday night at Mono Lake and then Saturday night at Mammoth Lakes.

This sounds good:

"Camping: A second, smaller group of pinnacles are found a short distance off trail to the west, while another track leads further east to Navy Beach, once used by the military, and now a good place for free camping - overnight stays are allowed anywhere around the lake apart from in the carpark and along the access road. The open, grassy hills around this part of the shore and the woods of the nearby Inyo National Forest have many peaceful, scenic sites to spend the night; the closest places to US 395 are along Test Station Road, which has several flat, open areas at the edge of a hill with views over the lake. The road is paved for a while then gravel as it descends towards the water, passing a picturesque abandoned house then heading east and giving alternative access to the South Tufa area."

Sounds good and its free. James, do you have any suggestions for nice spots around Mammoth Lakes?
