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.

This campground couldn't be in a better location. Right across the street from the lake! 4 stars out of 5 only because lack of trees/spacing between neighboring campers. Otherwise, prime location, great views of lake and lake access, clean camp and bathrooms. Would love to go back. Might just pick a diff site next time.

Loved the beautiful view from this campground. The biggest bonus was the great Verizon service that allowed us to work from camp. Also liked having the cute store and restaurant in walking distance from camp, there is a path near site #16. We had our mini goldendoodle with us and this place was full of treacherous sticky weeds. We had to carry her everywhere and I would not bring her back to this area for that reason. The mosquitos were hungry so be prepared. Camp host was nice.

We stayed in spots #37 and #38 for a group of five adults, two kids, and one dog. We were slightly disappointed that the spots looked much closer on the map, but were actually quite secluded from each other. Any other time it would have been great, just wasn’t what we were expecting. (Sites #38 and #39 would have made for a better group camp). They are on the outskirts of the campground though so we did appreciate not being right in the mix of everyone. Overall the campground was very well maintained. The road getting in is a little bumpy but just go slow and you’ll be fine. There are a lot of people with dogs and all sites are pretty much right off the road so just be prepared if you have your dogs with you that they’ll need to be leashed as people are walking by with them all the time. There was a host that did come check us in right at arrival, she was very friendly but not overbearing to where we felt like we were going to be babysat all weekend. We saw them come around now and again but were never bothersome. I will point out that #37, #38, #39, and #40 are all in very close proximity to the bathroom which was very nice. It is an actual flushing toilet with real toilet paper and was decently maintained for being a campground bathroom. There is also a dumpster near by so you can dump your trash each night instead of needing to store it. There are not any flat beach areas close to the campground, but a short drive along the lake and you’ll be able to spot something. Overall we had a great weekend and look forward to coming back.

Great location, unlevel site

The view of the lake is nice and it’s a short walk to Miller’s Landing. The narrow road wasn’t too bad, but be aware that most campsites at Wishon are ridiculously unlevel because the campground sits on a hill.
