About Wishon Bass Lake

Wishon Campground is located across the street from Bass Lake. The camp is shady, due to dense stands of manzanita, oak, cedar and pine, and thick undergrowth provides ample privacy. Some sites at Wishon offer lake views.

What Guests Are Saying

Wishon Bass Lake offers a lovely campground experience with great weather, private and spacious sites, and excellent access to Miller's Landing for boat rentals and amenities. Many campers appreciate the friendly and helpful camp host, who enhances their stay. However, there are notable concerns regarding the cleanliness and functionality of restrooms, as many experienced issues with portable toilets and locked facilities, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable visit.

#31 was a nice open site with a good amount of room but from the pictures you really can’t tell what a steep hill it’s on so if you get this spot be prepared to do a lot of leveling, also don’t have a trailer over 20 ft otherwise backing into it will be very difficult.

Great campaign site! The man in charge of maintaining the park does a great job. Roads were clear of trash and debris, restrooms clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure!

Very well maintained campsites and the restrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and soaked ourselves in the nature. We were at campsite 38, we don’t see the lake from there, but the views were amazing regardless. The lake or hikes isn’t that far which was a great plus.

Just one thing, we had a large loud group of teens, we, including kids had a bit of hard sleeping because of the late noise. Though, I don’t believe much can be done about it, it was bad timing for us.
Overall, we had an excellent experience, and would definitely love to come back.

This site is on a slope with only partial shade. But the biggest issue with this campground is it is in bear country with lots of signs warning this but there are NO bear boxes. Also lots of hornets/wasps with only one singular trap by the nearby bathroom. We went out and bought our own traps but despite catching many hornets/wasps, there were still too many to enjoy a meal sitting in one place.
