For starters, the road to this location isn’t as bad as some people say it is. It’s fully paved with minor twists and turns. The campsite itself is absolutely gorgeous. Out of all other sites in the area, I feel this one is the best for your money. It’s close to the lake & there’s a little shop/restaurant near by to get food & rent boats. Cell service for Verizon & AT&T is pretty good. I do feel the bathrooms could be a little updated, the road in the campground could use some work & the landscaping around the sites could be cleaned up a little. The picnic tables could be adjusted a little (ours was pretty wobbly) and the maintenance crew could have a little better job at cleaning the sites in between guests. The camp host, Victoria, was great. Very nice and informative. My girlfriend and I definitely plan on returning to this location in the future.

The road in was as winding as it was bumpy, then it got narrow and bumpier. But we were warned and out trailer is just 16 feet long. The campground is easy to miss as it is called Bass Lake Wishon on line and Wishon Point on the sign. We had to ask about registration as it is a 6 mile drive to the Ranger Station. On the website it’s called the General Store and no distance is given. Our first campsite sloped a great deal but the host, Vicki, gave us a wonderful flat site in a more convenient area. The flush toilets and sinks were a plus, and conveniently spaced. The campground covers a small peninsula and is always close to the water. Abundant shade from oaks, laurels, manzanita and pines keeps the sun off. A very enjoyable stay—thanks Vicki.

Really enjoyed our visit. Campers all respected the 10pm quiet time. And the camp host was the sweetest people. The camp is clean and well kept. Can't wait to visit again!
