Great location for the fisherman. Three trout lakes to choose from. Campground is at 9000’ so be prepared for cold nights.

The site we reserved was not too good, however we were able to choose another site that was available and much better. Generally a good location with lots to see and do.

At over 10,000 foot elevation, this area has great hiking trails, many little lakes and places to explore.
The campground is clean and close to Trumbull Lake. The 2019 Campground Host was most fabulous.
We were fortunate that most of the other campers, fished during the early morning as it resulted in a very quiet campground at night.

Trumbull Lake CG is a long-time favorite of ours. We began camping there in a tent in 1980, then several tent-campers and finally a modest size motorhome. The beauty of the area and proximity to Yosemite and Bodie makes for great day-hikes and great day-trips.
