Beautiful spot with shade and a view of the marina. Having to listen to drunk idiots till 1:00am sucked.

Our time at Bass Lake was great and we always stay at Wishon Campground. We stayed in site 26 and it was hot. I know they had to cut down trees in the past but I really wish they would consider planting new ones. I know the trees would take a while to grow but for the future campers it would be worth it. The best part of Wishon Campground was our host Carmen Hernandez. She kept the bathrooms stocked and clean, she was available when we needed her and she always had a smile on her face. We saw her prepping sites for the next guests and she not only picked up trash but she raked the spots and made them look so fresh and ready for new campers. Carmen is such an asset to the campground.

The new bear locks on the bins are great!
Bathrooms were very clean and this year I went over the 4th of July. I’m an annual visitor to the lake and the campground is a family favorite.

This place is perfectly located on bass lake, only a 10min drive to the town and central to everything. Millers landing is walking distance for all your camping needs.

We arrived at the camp store at 8:28 pm to register, although the web sight showed that it was open until 9:00 pm there was a closed sign on the door. We went all the way back to the camp store the next morning only to find out that you can register with the host after hours. There should be instructions in the confirmation email that lets you know this as Wishon Point campground is quite far from the camp store. I was also disappointed in my camp sight as there was not a flat service to place our tent, which made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep.

Definitely more party campers or large group camping place. Was not my type camping.
Ground is not even/ flat, hard to find leveled sport for tent. A lot of gophers’ holes and visitation.
Host was nice and toilets were clean.

We really enjoyed our stay. We attended a wedding at Miller's Landing. This was a great spot to camp. Bass Lake is beautiful and there is so much to do.

Pretty good overnighter. Space for tents is plenty but slightly slanted. There is a good view of the lake from the site. Also, site fairly close to water spigot which makes collecting water easy. Flush toilets and trash bins are close by.

The campsite was nice and the hosts were super kind. The campsite was slightly closer to its neighboring site than I would have preferred, but the experience was overall great.
