Friendly and helpful host. Beautiful location - sites close to the creek have good shade and nice noises, sites closer to the slope have gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Bathrooms have running water and plumbing, are clean, and do not smell! Potable water stations are frequent.

stayed here one night in late july — no reservation, but we had no problem finding a spot !! the host was awesome and recommended a site by the river that was open just for the night. great views, clean bathrooms (w flushing toilets !!), a cute bunny sighting.. what more could a girl want! 10/10, will definitely be coming here again

Beautiful sites, Amazing hosts, best maintained bathrooms I've seen. Always a great time!

Beautiful location, very clean and well maintained and it is also close to town. It is however a very popular sight so this is not the place to camp out if you want solitude. You have a very fair amount of space in your campsite but you will run into a lot of people there.

A great campground with multiple FCFS sites and several loops of reservable sites. Clean bathrooms, nice benches and fire-pits and water available close to every site. The sites by the creek have a lot of shade but may be difficult for some folks to climb up and down. The majority of the sites don’t have much shade but are good size, you can bring an awning for shade. The camp hosts are great people, at least for the 6+ years I have gone. The location is great, very close to Intake 2, South lake, Sabrina lake, and of course Bishop creek.
