I been coming here for years, never been disappointed. Kimo, the Host, is super friendly and ALWAYS has touched base with me every year when I arrived. The fishing has always been good. Plenty of hiking trails, the hike to Blue Lake is spectacular!

We totally enjoyed our stay at Trumbull Lake. We've been coming here for 15 plus years now and couldn't be happier.
One thing needs to be addressed though. The water system needs to be overhauled as the color of the water is rusty red and we were told to let it run until it looked clear. Well, not sure it was ever clear. Be sure to bring a water filter for your RV or something for drinking water if you're tent camping.
Campground host Kimo is awesome. Very likeable and very helpful. He cleans the restrooms on a regular basis and there's always enough toilet paper.
Enjoy!

Campground and campsites were very clean. Bathrooms were always kept up and clean. Kimo is a great camp host. This place is our go-to when we camp in the Eastern Sierras!!

We were supposed to be in 027 but wound up in 002 due to a small mix up. It was fine - I don’t think there’s a bad spot in the campground. The space was beautiful and the bathrooms were incredibly clean. My biggest regret is only being there for one day. I can’t wait to go back.

Also - the camp host was a true gem. Thank you so much Kimo - and thank you - we had enough gas to make it to Lee Vining.

We would give this campground 5 stars but we really didn’t like all the flys. Way to many flys…
The camp host was absolutely amazing. Great guy, super clean bathroom’s, made his rounds and showed he really cared for the campground. Fishing was good at Trumbel lake never went down to Virginia lakes they were to busy .
Please keep this camp host he’s awesome 👏
