Wishon Bass Lake

Excellent spot!! Private, quiet spaces with plenty of space between campers.
We left early bc of a heat wave with temps over 100 degrees unfortunately.
Steep-ish terrain, so not the best for kids who want to ride bikes.
Will definitely try this spot again, just not in August during a heat wave.

Campsite 37 is way too steep.

Bathrooms were all locked. Had to use port a potties. They were disgusting. Besr lockers are too small to actually fit a cooler in

Based on reviews I selected a site that was supposed to be large and shaded. It was large indeed (site 44), potentially room for a dozen tents - without a single tree on it (many stumps as most trees had been demolished by a pine beetle infestation a couple of years back). In 90+ degree weather for 4 days with only the shade of my pickup truck and a tree near the road, I was less than impressed. Coupled with loud campers who clearly have no respect for campground rules (late night loud music and carrying on, and 5 a.m. fisherman on loud power boats), I found sleeping for more than a couple of hours to be difficult. Bathrooms were defunct due to a 'water pressure issue' which I discovered is a leak in the plumbing - somewhere - which apparently has been an ongoing persistent problem for quite some time. The portable toilets were generally clean, if in well-worn condition. The lake was nice to swim in, provided you don't get bashed against anything hard when 2' boat wakes come rolling in (frequently during the day) - swimming areas are safer, but not immune from the non-stop ski boat traffic. Fishing was dismal. In four days I caught one fish. No early fishing is remotely possible once the ski boats hit the water at 8 a.m. Smaller paddle boards, canoes and even open fishing boats will be tossed around. Overall, this campground was a complete and disappointing waste of time for me. I would not recommend it during summer season and I won't be returning for any overnight stays. On a bright note, the camp host was delightful. She made my stay more tolerable by stopping by a couple of times to check in, and without her kindness I would have left on the second day. Overall, 3 nights for $180 was a ripoff, to camp on a moonscape with nearby party-goers creating an environment impossible to relax in. Miller's Landing was great. Very nice people there, with a decent cafe and basic necessities available. Otherwise - Wishon is a hard pass for me.

Friendly host, let us move sites when we got there and found it was not level. She also warned us about a young bear that was very active.
Loved the access to Millers Landing and restaurant with laundry and flush toilets. Would stay again!

Our family has been camping at Wishom Bass Lake for over 10 years, we love this campground.

In our first time experience, I will say that Miss Connie was very nice and attended to her guest, but the only complaint that I would say is just the bathroom situation but overall our stay was great!

The location and camping spots are ideal but for this particular trip the restroom were inoperable and portable restrooms (porta-poties) were used. They were in a very grotesque condition and seemingly never cleaned. We had to drive to Miller's summit to use the restrooms.

We stayed at 002; the good- amazing view of the lake, campsite feels private. It's a double site, we had plenty of space for 3 cars & 3 tents. There's a little path from the campsite to cross the street and get to the beach down below, which was amazing with kids. You can walk through the campground to get to Miller's- where there's public bathrooms, coin operated showers, and the store/restaurant which is great to refill you with whatever you may need(ice, ice cream, water, snacks, etc). Camp host was very nice, other campers were nice and respectful.
The cons- the path onto the street from the campsite was nerve- wracking with a toddler who likes to run. The campground had porta potties, we weren't aware of that until we got there, and then received notification via email that the water pressure on the South side of the lake(including our campground), was effected. This campsite is sloped, but many sites in the campground are slanted, and it's just how the lay of the land is.

We went on a Sunday to Tuesday. It was nice. Our campsite was next to the bathroom and water station which made it very convenient. Thankfully it did not smell. Site 006 did smell as we walked past it. It’s about 5 mins walk to miller’s landing resort that has public showers 5 dollars for 5 mins. You can rent jet skis/ boats/paddle boards and so forth. Not sure about the price as we didn’t do it. We did drive 3 mins to an area to swim. It was a lot of fun. We got to see a deer and her dawn pretty close a few times. The hosts were great and informative when we told them it was our first time renting a spot there. You can just drive up to your site and set up, the host will drive around in their golf cart to check you in. Unfortunately I did experience some racism (me being of Asian descent) while walking to miller’s landing on the first day after we set up camp so that made me felt very uncomfortable to go where there were crowds.
