Setting was spectacular. Campground was nice, toilets and water faucet near campsite. Big bear lockers and plenty of TP.
This would be a 10 star experience except the weather was terrible - not at all the fault of the campground or lake. We ended up having to leave. But I absolutely would go back to stay there again.

Fantastic visit. Fishing was the best ever. The camp host (Kemo) was great. Good camp site. Water, trash, outhouse close. Will be back next summer.

As always, love camping at Trumbull Lake. Even though it rained every day, we were still able to get out and hike and enjoy the beauty of the area. Kimo, the camp host, was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful and keeps the campground in perfect condition!
