Trumbull Lake Campground

We stayed here for a couple nights and loved it! Half the sites are reserve only and half are first come first served. We pulled in on a Thursday afternoon and found a great site! Campground was full of very nice people. Lots of people fishing! There are three lakes within a short walk. There is a very nice l and well stocked ittle store and restaurant right next to the campground... quite the surprise when you consider how out of the way this place is. The prices were shockingly reasonable! We fished Trumbull and were successful... very tasty trout! The elevation is just about 10,000 feet so it may take a few days for some people to acclimate, but it is a beautiful place to camp!

We have stayed at Trumbull Lake several times and always had a great time. The campground is well treed and most of the sites are spacious and not crowded together. The lake is well stocked with trout so the fishing is very good whether your fish flies, bait, or lures and the scenery is hard to beat. We haven't been in the summer, just in September so the crowds are small. If you need a shower, beer, a meal, or just some basic supplies Virginia Lakes Resort store is just a 5 minute walk away (showers are $5 for 20min). We usually have one or two bars of cell service but this last time we had none (ATT).

This alpine campground is a little off the beaten path so we were able to get reservations fairly last minute. There is a sweet little lake hike from the campground and the best sites back up to the lake. Bodie Ghost Town, Mono Lake and Bridgeport are easy day trips.

The bear boxes are clean and spacious. Each site has fire rings and a large picnic table. The restrooms are pit but clean enough. Our neighbor caught his generator on fire, so it was a lot quieter after that.

There are chipmunks, deer and some sort of bird of prey instead of TV.
