Brown's Town Campground

Nice natural setting next to a golf course. Large cottonwood trees throughout. The sites are sun & sand, fairly level ( very good) The water & electric are too close to one another (safety?) And power is plug and go. 10/2026 $45/ night. Water & power only, be sure you use a water regulator .Took credit card. 40 hour cancelation window. Recheck that. Nice General Store, great team member there, ice cream bar, hot dogs etc. I got a slice of apple pie $7.50 said it was open til 7pm today. Dumping tanks will be additional cost, at front of property on the way out. It was comfortable for a one night stay over. I would come back .

Very cute western town themed TV park. Price is right. Great location off 395. Backs up to golf course. Lots of shade. Clean bathrooms if you need them. We'll maintained rustic park. We will come again.

This is an inexpensive place to stay. You get what you pay for. It's run down with very limited facilities, three showers for the whole campsite. You find out later that you need six tokens for the shower, and the office is a fair walk away way.

I'm giving two stars because $40 for a night at a campground is quiet a bit of a stretch especially for a campsite that smells quiet bad near the bathroom area ... Prices so high as if Bishop was a luxurious Monaco resort town. Okay. Get over yourself expecting so much money. I hope at least, you pay employees decent wages. Giving an extra star for trees and the shade they provide. It is a good place to rest away from Bishop's heat.

If you like rude staff, trash on the ground, beer cans in the firepit and dirty underwear in your campsite book now! Otherwise look elsewhere. As a guest you still pay a dump station fee and showers are not free either. Would never go back!!

Unknown. I was a drive through. Drove out. Seeking a day place. "CAMP" day camp. Seen this and freaking LMAO. however just not my idea of "Camping". If there are travelers; good enough not to spend cash on motels. BUT THIS IS NOT "CAMPONG". GIVING A HARD PASS TO RV and travel trailers. Most likely their traveling through. OK. That works. All others? This is NOT CAMPING. ESPECIALLY SHOULDER CLOSE TO A FREAKING STATE HIGHWAY. AND ACROSS FROM A PROPANE BUSINESS. LITERALLY. AS IN, PROPANE TANKS FOR LARGE PROPERTIES.

Still our favorite place to camp. It's close to all the things we like to do. The staff is very friendly and you can't beat the price

We just needed a place to fill water and dump our camper on the way to mammoth. This place was great. The price is $25 for non guests however. $10 for guests.

I stopped in late night for a place to sit, eat my dinner, and shower during the "winter months". I understood there were showers, I came prepared with quarters, but did not realize it required a token from the office. Which isn't open until the spring "months", April maybe? what am I going to do with all these quarters? There was an outdoor sink that I used to clean my dishes! I hope to come back and enjoy the green grass, trees, and creek in the future.

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.
