Trumbull Lake

One of my favorite campgrounds. Kimo, the host, is excellent. He takes pride in the campground, he is very visible throughout the day and will take the time to answer any questions.

The campground is at a high elevation, just under 10,000 feet, which I prefer with a great hike available right from the campground.

Sometimes the host of a campground sets the tone….Kimo is the best. He is just cool. Friendly, kind and so very helpful. He is constantly present in the camp. Either on his bike or making rounds in his truck. He sets the mood of a relaxed peaceful camp experience.

Timo is an excellent camp host. He goes way beyond what is required from him. Last year he saw we left behind a picnic chair. He saved it for us for a whole year and returned it to us when we arrived. Restrooms are immaculate by pit standards. Thank you Timo!

Kimo, the campground host, was terrific, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The campground was very nice, well located near Trumbull Lake, with easy access to the hiking trails up to the Virginia Lakes and beyond. The dumpster and bathrooms were clean, but smelled, so if the wind was right, it was overpowering. I recommend a campsite away from the bathrooms and dumpster.

Wonderful campground. There is a great hike up to lakes but you need to be away that it's hiking at 10K MSL. The nice thing about that is you can escape some heat. The site I was on did not have a lake view but it was near a restroom. The host was wonderful and the restrooms were clean. Drove to Mono for a spectacular sunrise walk. Resort had $5 showers and food.

My new favorite camp site!

Great camping area. We love it.
Be sure to hike up to Blue Lake and beyond. It’s worth it.

very well run place and very beautiful

This whole area is magic! I’ve been bringing my family up here for over 20 years and it’s still calls to us. Every time we visit it’s just a little bit different because it’s so high and altitude that you never know what you’re gonna get. Also Kimo the host is amazing. Hardest working guy I’ve ever met. He’s is constantly cleaning and tending to campground need. A real treasure.

Nice campground and the camp manager is polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Site 39 may be a regular go-to site if it weren't for the trash dumpster placed adjacent to the site. The "corner" location does provide a pretty good view of towering peaks above the lake (but no view of the lake itself) which is nice, but the dumpster and nearby restroom result in a nearly constant parade of campers past the site. The campground is well kept and generally quiet. Be sure to use the bear box at night because the campers next to me that did not were visited by a hungry bear one night and their site was ravaged. The lakes are beautiful and anglers of all ages were catching fish from Trumble Lake (I can't speak for the Virginia Lakes but assume they're good fishing, too). The Virginia Lakes Resort recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and is super convenient for basic supplies and tackle, and serves breakfast and lunch until late afternoon. Bridgeport and Twin Lakes are a short drive with good fishing, and the old mining town of Bodie is nearby and worth the visit (be sure to take the stamp mine tour!) as well as Mono Lake and the forest service visitor center.
