The excellent paved road up the hill is a plus. It was one of the quietest Eastern Sierra campgrounds I have ever experienced. Good water spigots. Campground host was a nice guy.

A nice campground. The host was friendly and accommodating. The spots are a little too close for my liking. So during the peak season you’ll have to put up with noise from kids.

We were “welcomed” by the camp host (I’m assuming) with a disgruntled demeanor and a threat. When he walked up, we were expecting a “Welcome. Enjoy. If you need anything, please ask”. No. We got a mean old man telling us over and over not to back up into the preserved bushes/trees (we have a large, long bed Ford F-350 truck and were trying to back up into our camping site) and proceeded to say that he would ”drive us out of here”. Wow! Thanks, buddy! Nice welcome! Funny though, he lives (?) right next to group campers that were super loud until at least midnight and never told them to quiet down. I don’t get it!

Other than that, we loved the campground and the site #5. It’s nice and private on the end.

I have never been to a cleaner or better managed campground. The pit toilets were always clean, especially the floors. The campground host made sure there was always TP and hand sanitizer at the restrooms and warned me about the bears sometimes looking in cars at night. He quietly drove through the campground multiple times during the day and night, which made me, a woman sleeping in her Subaru Outback, feel much safer.

Trumbell Lake is a beautiful place to visit when not hiking. It was nice to sit at the lake edge in the early evening and observe the serene beauty.
