Loved our camping trip. Great spot. Steve the camp host was friendly and super helpful. Clean bathrooms anytime we went. We took a RV. The dump station was very close and convenient. The views of the lake and the mountains are very pretty. There is a trail on the rear side of the camp ground. Restaurant is walk-able. Got to see starry sky after a long time. Lovely memories.

The Camp Host was so friendly! The location near Bass Lake made it a perfect base camp for us to visit Yosemite NP. The flush toilets were fully equipped and very clean. We loved our stay and will be returning next season!
