Great views of the lake and mountains. Entertaining ground squirrels everywhere. Flushable toilets and an usable shower. No electric, water or sewage at the campsites but numerous water stations and a dump station. The downside is the price. 36 dollars while the two other forest service campgrounds a short distance away that have pit toilets and no shower are only 12 dollars and have the same great view. The private RV parks in the area only charge a dollar more and have full hookups and WiFi but don't have the view. The advantage of the high nightly fee is that the campground is mostly empty. As I write this, there are two other campers here and the other two campgrounds are packed.

we arrived later on the day and there were plenty of stuff sites available. Clean bathrooms and they have showers. We were very happy to find showers. Beautiful views of Lake Isabella, right on the water. It was windy and road is noisy, but we found these to be small inconveniences.

Super empty this time of year. Cool place to fish, kayak, or paddle board. Fire pits (but no wood for sale), fresh drinkable water, bathrooms with hot showers, RV dump station, fish c cleaning station, trash bin available. Pretty mountain views, and easy access to the lake. ***Road noise is a thing. This place is located right off of the HWY.

As other reviewers have mentioned, The campground is not well taken care of but it is in a beautiful setting and you'll have your choice of camp spots and so it all works!

My truck breaks down as I get here and I need it to tow my trailer and don’t have the money to have someone else to tow my trailer out of the county. The manager of the campgrounds can’t wait until the truck is fixed so I can leave. She just threatened to kick me out the next day by noon and I lose everything I own in my trailer and my pets! And I am permanently kicked out by that manger of the campgrounds. Otherwise the couple on site are wonderful people and they do a great job keeping that place clean, and safe.
