October 2025. Site 12. My stay here was OK. Just OK. Not more, not less. The sites were way too close together. People burned all night smogging the place up. People came in or back late and opened and slammed car doors for excessive periods of time. The power in my site worked well. Its the only reason I stayed there. BUT the water was gross. Tasted strongly of metal and there were rust chunks in my water jug. The outside of my water pipe was covered in mildew and moss. The bathroom was pretty gross. Toilet unflushed and full of poo. Its a paid shower. Not inclusive. But the shower was full of hair and very unclean. Good thing I never shower without shower shoes. Even at the Hilton. There is ice there, but its 6.50 a bag. Theres a few odds and ends for sale too. One the better side the landscape in that area is amazing! Theres so much to do in Bishop. That whole area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiast. The lady in the office was nice. She was very descent to me. And overall I did feel safe there.

As others have reviewed, showers require tokens & if you get there after 5p then you are out of luck. I talked to the camp host the next day (Suzi?) & she said that I should have read the fine print. Not the cleanest of bathrooms. Also, no 'quite hours'; dozens of kids yelling & screaming during the day, went to sleep at ~9p, then up again yelling & screaming at 6a!

Beautiful place!! Dont get me wrong, bathrooms were kept clean, you had to buy tokens to shower i think they're 2$ each? I dont remember, but Its for hot water, and I used my token and ended up showering with COLD water, I guess it was broken or something? And the neighbors do NOT respect quiet hours. They were up til 3 AM with LOUD music. We had brought our 10 month old for their first camping trip and it was really hard to put her to sleep because of the music 🥲, once it did get quiet it was nice to hear the creek as white noise which helped. 3/5 stars.

We are thoroughly enjoying our time here. They offer tent sites and full RV hookups. There are showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities available around the clock. Please note that showers require tokens, which can be obtained at the office before 5 p.m. The camp host is exceptionally kind and helpful. All sites are situated near a creek, perfect for relaxing in a chair or watching children play. The grounds also feature a playground, park, lake with fish, a baseball field, and other amenities. Also, the grounds border BLM land so you can ride right out the back gate.

This campground is nicely shaded. It has a cute little creek running through the middle of the campground. It is very close to a large area that offers golf, swimming, fishing and park area for picnics and playground. Sadly it doesn’t allow dogs in this extra area. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended our stay another 2 nights.
