Historical plaque inscription: Schober Lane Campground. When purchased by the City of Los Angeles in 1927, this property was an irrigated pasture of native grasses and clover. Prior to European settlement, however, the site was a small part of an area known as "pitana patu," a highly-developed Paiute system of irrigated vegetation. Unique in North America, pitana patu was often referred to as "irrigation without agriculture." Each year, the tribe chose one man for the highly-honored position of "Head Irrigator" to maintain a dam on Bishop Creek to the west, a three-mile-long main ditch, and several smaller ditches used to irrigate numerous plots of wild food plants. In 1960, the Department of Water and Power leased this property to the County of Inyo for use as a roadside park and campground. In 1982, the County sub-leased the site to a concessionaire to operate and maintain the campground facility. This land provided for your enjoyment by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

We stayed (1) nite on 11-5-25. $40. Extra $10 if your want to dump water. Store is closed during winter. You put cash in envelope & drop in the slot. A guy is driving around in golf cart to keep everyone honest. No reservations. Just drive in & find a spot. Lots of pull throughs.

Overall great place to stay. They have spaces for RV's or tents only with bon fire pits. Customer service was great and the small store up front is open long hours. Showers and restrooms are clean. The only small concern is the showers being able to keep up with the hot water demand. Might need to time your shower for off hours.

$40 electric. $35 tent. Nice quiet campground. Lots of mature trees for shade. Would request a grass site if you have kids or dogs. Our dogs dragged in an inordinate amount of dirt and sand and rocks. A bit of pavement or cement might help. Bathrooms ok. Cleaned just before I looked and smelled of bleach. Showers were a definite NO GO. Gross. I was just on the road for 3 weeks, prob 10 Rv or campgrounds and that was the worst. Dirty moldy old ick. And you have to pay for tokens which is fine but others say the token machines don’t work?

This campground has been wonderful. We always enjoy our stay. We have been coming here for over 5 years. My in-laws have been coming here much longer. Things here are clean and well managed. Marshall is a grounds keeper here and he does EXCELLENT! He keeping the bathrooms and showers orderly. He’s very attentive to all that he does. Brownstown is very lucky to have him. Thank you to Marshall and all who work there.

A total rip-off! First, I paid 40 dollars for the stay (which is quite all right I suppose). However, when I was going to use the hot shower, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that I should buy a token to turn the water on! Why wasn't I notified when I checked in?! So, I decided to take a shower in the RV and my wife took it too (no surprise that washing her hair takes a lot of water). We ended up with our grey water tank full. Time to use the dump station then. BUT as it turned out, using the dump station costs anotger 10 dollars! When I came to the reception and expressed my genuine dissatisfaction with not being informed about extra payments, all I could hear from the stuff was: I don't know. REALLY? No apologies, nothing. So, it cost me 50 bucks (without the promised hot shower). Not worth it at all.

The campsite was nice we really liked it until some locals moved in next to us with several barking dogs and they started a camp fire at 10pm which is quiet time , and it’s the first place we stayed all summer who charges their guest to dump , it should be free for the guest !

Campsite was wide, quiet, clean, and accessible to local amenities. Reasonably priced. Restrooms were clean and functioning properly with flush toilets and sinks. The convenience store could have had more selections.

Always a great place to stay. Roomy campsites and very well maintained. Convenient check in/out. Hot showers with purchase of tokens.

Stay here regularly. So much nicer to have grass under feet, and tall trees for shade. Restrooms and showers great. Best of all-camp store has fresh pies-ice cream-tap beer-great sandwiches-and friendly staff. good place to home base a few days while sight seeing.

We've been coming up to Browns Town for about 15 years. Never had a issue. Our group all reserved the same trailer spots in April for a annual trip in October. We all show up and apparently they screwed up our reservations so everyone is scattered at different sites. Ok fine. On our second day we are playing corn hole next to one of our trailers, not being loud at all, and a male Karen who has nothing better to do in his retirement years but complains we are being too loud at 5 in the afternoon!!! The staff stops by and first says quiet time is when the sun goes down then changes their answer to 7 pm then magically quiet time is changed again to 6 pm. So which is it Browns Town? This used to be a great place but now its a joke

Stayed at the Browns Town Campground Bishop on 9-19-24 and told them we needed a 2 night stay. We were put in site 14 on the first night but on the morning for the second night we were told that we had to move to site 10. I said you want us to move our set up travel trailer 2 sites over? This is ridiculous! Manager said site is booked for several days and you need to move. She also spoke like a smart ass to us as I explained that we have been customers for 25 years but she didn’t care so we went to another campground and will never do business with them again. They think they’re the only place in town, but they’re not.

Greatest little RV park ever. Upon entering the office we were greeted by super nice staff, ice cream and homemade pies!!!! The rates are super affordable. On one side is a golf course; on the other is a big field with cows. Not much across or behind. It is a great location at the end of town as you're going towards L.A. or at the beginning of town if you're going to work Reno. There's a cute little Museum area done up like an old town. And there's plenty of tent camping if you're into that sort of thing. We're going to try to stay here a week in a few months. It's a great little place. And Bishop is a great little town.

Easy access from the Hwy. Great use of space within the park. Bathrooms and showers kept clean and well maintained. The shower curtains could use a good cleaning. Store was not yet open but staff was available to get shower tokens. Grounds very well maintained. We even found a geocache while we were there.
