The lake is beautiful the beaches are amazing. Great fishing and good boat rentals from millerβs.
My biggest complaint is the absence of bear lockers. Having to lock everything up in the car every night, and still having bears come through campsites because neighbors donβt lock things up in their cars is a pain and scares the kids.
If bears are known to be a problem they need to install bear lockers.
Also be prepared for yellow jackets but thatβs jsut nature !

We had such a wonderful time at Wishon Point. At first, it was difficult to know where to check in. We went to the "guest check in" listed on the recreation.gov site but it was closed. The email also didn't work and no one ever picked up the phone (we called about 10 times before giving up). That said, the fabulous Camp Host, Vicki, welcomed us upon our arrival and made it very easy to check in. Our spaces were AMAZING! We had 37, 38, 28, 29, 25 and 26. In the upper camps (28/29) we had three families of deer that travelled through each day AND were very privileged to also see a teenage black bear. He was getting into the trash, so please make sure to keep all of your food items in the car or INSIDE the dumpster. We were walking distance from Miller's Landing. We rented a pontoon boat and everything went very well. The cafe was DELICIOUS! We were also walking distance from the water and had an amazing day lake side with food, music and our shade structures. I definitely recommend this location to all who are looking for a relaxing time in nature!
