The camp site was so very slanted that there was no flat surface to set our tents or kitchen area. Only flat spot on entire site was under the picnic bench. The roads inside the campground were horrible. They were so degraded and the tree roots had destroyed so much of it that riding our bikes popped 3 of our tires on our 4 bikes.

I enjoyed my stay at Wishon. I went for walks by the lake and enjoyed the late spring wildflowers.

The view of the lake from the site was beautiful but the site is extremely sloped. Picnic table was propped up one side with rocks to compensate for the slope. And the fire pit is also on this slope which is dangerous because you have to walk down the slope from your car. Other than accidentally twisting your ankle &/or catching fire, the view is beautiful.

This campsite was easy to navigate to. Our specific site was large enough for 2 cars/families. Clean and friendly camp host.

View of the lake is beautiful. Conveniently close to the Yosemite south entrance. There were a lot of large families with kids, they seemed pretty happy with the swimming options. Extremely hard to find a flat spot on this campsite that would be big enough to fit our tiny 2 person tent. The night before we arrived there was reported bear activity on the site, and I could see why with the way people left food out.
