The camp host was SO helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The campground is beautiful and very well maintained. We only stayed 2 nights but would have happily stayed longer.

Trumbull Lake is fantastic. Beautiful setting and well maintained. Host Kimo couldn't have been friendlier! I hesitate to write more because I don't want the place to become too popular!

I try to make it to the eastern side of the Sierras every summer, camping at 3 different spots each time I'm there, and over the years, I've found Kimo to be one of the best campground hosts.

I went with a fly fishing club and it was excellent. Kemo the host greeted everyone and made us all feel welcome. One member had campsite #42 with a trailer and it was very difficult to get level. They got there a little after 5 and Kemo worked with them until almost 9 trying to get them level. They got it pretty good then the next day several of us went over and finally had to get the jack out of the car to jack up the axel and we finally got it level. This site needs to have some leveling work done or be designated a tent site.”
