My stay at Trumbull Lake campground was very nice. We had site 30 and it was perfect for us who were tent camping. The campground is very quite and good for dogs. Bathrooms are vaulted pit toilets but very clean. You can take showers at Virginia Lakes resort for fee. The Virginia Lakes General store is good for basic needs and has great apple pie at the cafe. I would go again.

My wife and I camped here for 4 days beginning on Sept. 5th. Absolutely beautiful setting and the camp host, Kimo, did his very best to make the campground clean, safe and secure. Upon our arrival, he offered to relocate us to the best campsite I have ever had (since it was available).
We hiked up to 5 alpine lakes and I cannot wait to take my grown kids here to experience this "back country".
Thank you Kimo for sharing your expertise with us. 5 Stars!

Great location, beautiful area, easy to find. Kimo, the host, was super friendly and helpful. All around, an amazing visit. Did not use facilities but they looked very clean (looked inside the restroom). Some sites are quite small so I would recommend reviewing the map before selecting a campsite if you are bringing an RV with you. Would visit this location again.
