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.

Rough road to the campsite, enjoyed site #27 while close to the large group site it allowed a nice view into the forest. We woke to deer and turkey walking through the site. Our 4 boys enjoyed the time away from the city.

I took my daughter's USC class to this campground to celebrate their impending graduation and for them to run the half marathon. As such, there was a lot of moving parts and the camp host was wonderfully welcoming and actively worked to accommodate us. She was incredibly sweet and helpful; she made our experience amazing. Thank you so much for helping to make this such a wonderful experience.

We stayed at sites 9 & 11- the view was nice, but there weren’t many flat areas to lay down the tent. The bathrooms were well maintained, however there are no showers. There are payable showers at the nearby general store that’s about a 3 min drive. Reception was great (AT&T & Verizon). Be sure to bring bug repellant- they come out especially at sunset. Would recommend! We had a great time

Very nice campground with clean flushing bathrooms. Spent the weekend and neighbors were pretty much quiet after 10pm, got campsite #19 which was well located, spacious and had lots of shade. Water spigot in the campsite was very helpful too. The camp host was helpful and kind. The lake is on the other side of the road but it's within walking distance (3 min walking). Bear in mind that there are no "beaches" on this part of the lake, just rocks and multiple paved "walkways" to access the water, so I wouldn't recommend this part of the lake for kids. I wish the host had told us about the coin operated showers and the marina the night we arrived, we just found out about it the day we left.
