Wishon Bass Lake

Camping at Bass Lake was great. We stayed at Wishon Camp near the dam. Some of the campsites were without shade trees and some were without good places to pitch tents because the sites were on slopes. We had a decent place with a mild slope for the tents but the fire pit was definitely on a slope. That was interesting. Bathrooms were clean and nearby all sites. No showers but the lake was good for that. All sites seemed to have fire pits, barbeque pits, and a picnic bench. Wishon Camp is very close to a resort and summer camp. People at one of those places were loud at night but probably within the hours to do so. There are some stores and restaurants affiliated with resorts that you can hit up for things you may have forgotten (like firewood and fishing worms) and also a more complete shopping experience on the other side of the lake that most likely has everything you need. Because of the pandemic some of the campgrounds were closed so the whole lake was not crowded at all. We caught some great weather mid-April which was on the cool side but nice and warm in the sun. Perfect for bike rides along the road that surrounds the lake. The water was chilly but we swam in it anyway. By chance we did not encounter any pesky bugs for the whole 3 day camp. Our favorite part was the hike approaching Angle Falls. We stopped at several points to take pictures of the cascading water and test our courage to jump in the pools. Eventually we dipped in but be forewarned...that water is cold! We have plans for a return visit maybe when the waters are warmer and also to make it up higher along the waterfall hike. Bass lake was definitely a great place to visit.

This campground is close to the lake and boat launching. Every site is on a hill and not well developed. The road is narrow and curvy so could be hard for your trailer. We made it work with our 24’. The sites could be better developed and useful. Bathrooms were clean. I guess you pay to be near the lake.

Nice campground. We try to stay here once a year. This year’s trip was very good, only drawback was hearing someone getting sick from drinking too much the night before. Other than that, a pleasant stay.

Excellent location, nice view of the lake, and clean area to stay.

My family and I started to go to Bass Lake 7 years ago. We have been coming back to bass lake/ Miller's resort every year. It is an incredible place to go to. The staff is very friendly, on the camp site and at Miller's. My family and I always get to site's. Why because we always have friends and family tagging along. We rent out a boat every time, and eat at Miller's. Miller's food is so good, can't ask for a better ice cream or snow cone. We also went up to Yosemite, it was about a 30 min drive, but well worth it. To see all the trees, trails and water falls, it was breath taking. To see all the different animals as well. I can't wait for next year. It's mine and my families happy place.

Love this campground! Best sites are 1-5, nearest to the lake and the view is amazing! There is a water spout available and flushing toilets. Showers located at Miller’s Landing which is open until 8PM. General store is there also as well as cabins for rent. Will be back here again!
