I just drove through to scope it out - I did not stay the night. If you are looking for a secluded/isolated site, this is not for you.

Great outdoor space without electricity, but worth it for the spacious sites with grass and trees. Nearby lake in campground with toilets facilities. Great biking trails with walking paths to other lakes. Peaceful place that would definitely stay again. Sites were level, well maintained with friendly staff.

Overall Rating
Quiet, small campground with easy access to two lakes and hiking trails. Campers must register at Bishop Lake Campground first. Also, a daily recreation pass is required ($9/ day). If you enter from the east you will need to travel several miles on an unpaved bumpy road.

I am in love with this campground. Our family has already made plans to go there many times next year. It's so peaceful and there are plenty of things to do. You are close to bike trails, walking trails, fishing, and swimming. Cannot wait to go back.
