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 was our 2nd time at Wishon and we did not enjoy it like we did the first time! The camp host was very rude and he did not clean the bathrooms correctly! All he would do in there was empty the trash and clean the floor but he DID NOT clean the toilets or sink! Absolutely disgusting considering the amount of people staying there and we were there for 9 days!!! Thankfully I have my own cleaning products that we used everytime we went down to use the restroom. None of them had soap either! The restroom at the beach was cleaner and its only 1 stall. Thats saying ALOT! Quiet time was also not enforced. The group next to us was up drinking, yelling, talking loudly, laughing loudly, playing music until 1-2am multiple days in a row! A group that arrived at the campsite near the restrooms across from us were also very loud with kids screaming/crying for hours past quiet time. We dont expect complete silence but we do expect consideration especially after midnight! It was a very uneventful stay and we will be looking at other campsites around bass lake for our next trip. The location is awesome, very close to the launch dock, millers landing and beach access within walking distance but the camp host and the inconsiderate neighbors ruined it for us!

I recently visited Bass Lake and wanted to share my feedback. The lake itself is lovely, and the water temperature is always perfect for swimming, which is a great draw.
However, I found that most, if not all, of the campsites are not level. They either have a significant slant or a large dip. Our group reserved 17 different campsites, and I personally checked each one, finding similar issues. Spending a week on an uneven surface was hard on our legs, and those of us with trailers found it impossible to level them adequately.
I believe that if the park could address the leveling of these campsites, it would greatly enhance the visitor experience and prevent future negative reviews related to this issue.
Despite this, I would still recommend Bass Lake as a destination.

The weather was hot and the water temperature of the lake was perfect. We had a lot of fun. Our last day we went to Yosemite and spent the day exploring.

Hello, Wishon Point is a nice campground, close to the lake and stores, however when I recently camped there, I noticed no bearproof lockers to help campers with storing appropriate scented items in and to keep bears away from food. They should be provided at every campsite to allow the area to be safe for humans and wildlife!
