Kimo, the campground host, was terrific, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The campground was very nice, well located near Trumbull Lake, with easy access to the hiking trails up to the Virginia Lakes and beyond. The dumpster and bathrooms were clean, but smelled, so if the wind was right, it was overpowering. I recommend a campsite away from the bathrooms and dumpster.

Timo is an excellent camp host. He goes way beyond what is required from him. Last year he saw we left behind a picnic chair. He saved it for us for a whole year and returned it to us when we arrived. Restrooms are immaculate by pit standards. Thank you Timo!

Sometimes the host of a campground sets the tone….Kimo is the best. He is just cool. Friendly, kind and so very helpful. He is constantly present in the camp. Either on his bike or making rounds in his truck. He sets the mood of a relaxed peaceful camp experience.

One of my favorite campgrounds. Kimo, the host, is excellent. He takes pride in the campground, he is very visible throughout the day and will take the time to answer any questions.
The campground is at a high elevation, just under 10,000 feet, which I prefer with a great hike available right from the campground.

Had a wonderful time at Trumbull Lake Campground! It is a beautiful spot with beautiful scenery and views of the mountains. And the campsites and vault toilets are immaculately maintained by camp host Kimo!

Kimo who was the camp host is absolutely awesome! Gave super great recommendations for the area and was extremely friendly and approachable.
The bathrooms were so clean and surprisingly did not smell. You could tell campers were extremely respectful in this area and that Kimo maintained the area so well.
The camp ground was quiet and very peaceful. highly recommend if you're truly looking to disconnect.

This refers to Site 14 only.
This campsite is restricted access due to trees - and is narrow. While my 25' RV would have fit the length, the site was too narrow to safely reverse into. If you're in a tent, or a van style RV, you should be fine, but not reccomended for a wider class C or similar.

We had the best time camping at camp site #10. Although there was a lot more vegetation then any of our other visits (which meant more bugs/mosquitos), we still had a really great time! Took the hike to Frog Lakes, caught fish, and had some quality family time!
Kimo was great as well as so helpful! Bathrooms were kept very clean!

This is a beautifully quiet campground! Big shout out to the camp host Kemo for maintaining clean well stocked restrooms and overall good vibe in the campground.
You can do nothing and simply enjoy the beauty, or fish or hike! Or all three which is what we did.
Only negative was the biting flies. My fault though for not keeping feet covered. I think these little pests are probably only an issue in the Spring/early Summer.
