I am a beginner camper - this was my second trip ever and the first that I had planned on my own. It was an incredible experience. The views of the mountains literally brought me to tears. I want to provide some info for anyone who might be planning a trip to Wishon campground (which you need to do) First of all, late spring/early summer was a great time to go. There were so many wildflowers and it was just so lush. The weather reports (I looked at Porterville and Springville) were not accurate and it got much colder at night than expected and it did not get very hot during the day. The campground has quick access to awe inspiring views and springtime made them even better. Some websites and reviews said no potable water. As of May 2026, there is potable water. There are actually numerous spigots around the campground and you are never far from one. I’m pretty sure it’s just seasonal. There are vault toilets and some are wheelchair accessible with paved ramps into them. There are a lot of toilets overall actually, so you don’t need to wait for them or anything. There was toilet paper in them most of the time but I would recommend bringing your own. Trash and bear containers provided. The site we stayed in (14) felt very private. Several sites were well covered, specifically the ones on the opposite side of the campground from the river. The sites adjacent to the river and on the inside of the loop were not well covered and had little privacy. They were pretty closely packed. One thing to note is that some sites have grates on the fire rings and others (like ours) had something to hang pots from over the fire, but it did not have a grate over it. I didn’t see a place to buy firewood, but I may have just not noticed it. Bring your own probably. Bring water shoes for sure. There are plenty of places to access the river, and it was fun to wade through it. The campground was moderately crowded and it was mostly families with children. We ran into pretty much no one because we were opposite the river, but it was very densely packed and quite loud over there. We got a little confused about where to hike. We went in the direction of Doyle springs not understanding that it is not a hiking area and is actually just a neighborhood haha. We accidentally took a perilous hiking trail (attaching an image of the signage leading to it) adjacent to the neighborhood and had to turn around. There is a very easy gravel road hiking path that has INCREDIBLE views. The road is Forest Route 20S03. AllTrails navigation setting clearly marked it for us. There were a lot of snakes in the rocks along the river. So just watch your step. I’m personally very scared of mountain roads and have a small, kind of weak car. I was stressed about the drive. It was definitely windy, but the road up the mountain is in good condition and not too steep. We arrived around 7:30 pm and left around the same time on another day. There was no one else on the road so we took it slow and it went fine. I have a 2 door 2013 Honda civic and it had no trouble getting there. Overall an amazing experience. I will 100% go back.

Got into the campground late and got lost in the dark. The campground attendants were soooo helpful and showed me my campsite and helped me back my trailer in. The bathrooms are decent and there’s plenty of them. The sites are spread out and you have enough privacy to explore your site. You can also swim directly from the campground!!!! There’s multiple river spots.

Beautiful well kept campground. There are lots of trees on site, with a picnic table and fire pit. Walking distance to small store with the friendliest people to assist you. I'd give it 5 stars out of 5. Definitely will be going there again. Just an fyi, if using maps on your phone for directions, make sure you enter Wishon Reservoir, not Wishon. They are 2 distinctly different places, as we learned.
