Camp hosts were on point for everything. Friendly, positive, thorough. Knew their stuff. Campsite was a dream with view of the lake. Quiet, peaceful campground. However, I stayed Monday-Friday morning. Got a sense that the weekends would be full of noisy party goers which would spoil the beauty of the location. Lots of Day Use areas on the lake. That was nice, but people using these areas left lots of trash behind, even though trash bins were handy. Needs a once-a-week clean up by government personnel. The Canadian geese made a poop mess everywhere. Not much you can do about that, I know. Services around the lake were appreciated including boat rentals, showers, small grocery, small restaurants. Loved the old fashioned lake/mountain/lodge kind of vibe. Laid back, simple, friendly, relaxing.

The site and view was beautiful. Washrooms were ok, but not very clean. Not much else there, no showers, no electric. We knew that of course but we've had better gov. campsites for half the money. Not worth the price this one.

We love this campground- it typically is quiet and the sites aren’t too close to each other.

We had a wonderful time staying at the beautiful Lupine campground. Our host Carmen was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We were really impressed with how clean and well-stocked the bathrooms were. I can honestly say they were probably the best camping bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Site 70 where we stayed really does have the best view, as well as space for 2 tents, and it’s such a quick walk down to the lake or the day use area nearby! We will definitely be coming back when the weather is warmer!

Stayed here in our pop up camper. Easy back in with a level parking space. Bathrooms were clean during our stay. Definitely coming back during summer.

Great facility. Clean restrooms, helpful camp host. Spot 78 plenty of room but decent slope front-to-back. Barely able to get 25' travel trailer fully level (bottomed out tongue jack). Drove in from north, roads windy but accessible with travel trailer, just go slow around several blind curves. Stayed 3 nights in Nov, high 30s overnight. Ranger station check-in was closed in Nov; check-in was with camp host at the actual campground.

This is a lovely campsite and I would stay here again. There are three tiers to the site and I was in the middle tier. If you want to be closer to the lake, take the lower tier. The sites themselves seem to be configured backward. My campers set up for the main out door area to be on the right side of the camper with utilities being on the left. Camp sites accommodate this by having the site orientate to this type of configuration. Not here. The site table and fire pit are on the left, so my awning opened into the trees.
As for Bass Lake... kinda disappointing to be honest. Apparently PG&E drains the lake to support snow run off. So it was a little stinky... like low tide stink.
Over all, it's a great site. I was able to run my generator from 0600 - 2200... I probably could have run it 24x7 if I really wanted to, given I was the only person in the entire site.

We had a great couple of nights tent camping over the Thanksgiving holiday. Camp hosts were lovely and facilities were all well stocked and maintained.
