Great location right by the lake. The restrooms are only vault toilets but there's a lot of water dispensers around so you never have to walk far. Our host Kemo was an absolute darling and helped us where he could. Large campsites.

We loved Trumbull Lake Campground. The only reason it didn’t earn a 5-star is because our neighbors were loud. They were just enjoying themselves, but did not quiet down until after we were in our tent going to sleep. Other than this one group, the campground was quiet and peaceful.

Best host, Kimo. Always greets and helps in any way he can. Great fishing at both upper and lower Virginia Lakes. Resort has many amenties for such a high Sierra experience. Been going there for 18 years.

The camp host, Kemo, is the best camp host we ever had. He keeps the campsites family friendly and is very helpful. He is quick to enforce the rules (noise, speed limits, etc.) and takes no BS from rude campers. He makes this campground wonderful.

The campground and our campsite (#30) were very clean and comfortable. We were very happy with the ranger who checked in with us multiple times and offered wood for sale right out of his white pickup truck. The bathroom and water areas were clean and stocked. The lodge employees were great and the lakes were clean and beautiful. We can't wait for our next visit.

Nice bathrooms.
We were in #6. Wish there was better parking for our two vehicles. One had to park in the turn around.
