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.

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!!

Kemo the camp host was the best! He made sure we had everything we need! Definitely recommend fishing at all the surrounding lakes. We caught a lot of trout!

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!

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!

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.
