We love bumping lake campground. Always clean and the host is super friendly. The lake is beautiful and we spend all day in it. The downfalls...it is a lake and there is very little room to park an extra vehicle that is towing the boat. We had to squeeze 2 trucks side by side with barely any room to walk to the campsite and had to park the boat trailer several sites away. There is NO parking on the sides of the road and the campsites are to small to park 2 vehicles. We do love it there tho, so next year we will try and get 2 sites side by side just to use one for parking. Also, no power or water at all. No phone service, so we brought our starlink mini and it worked great.

This is a beautiful campground in the mountains and the lake is very pretty. Campground is well maintained and we will definitely be returning to Bumping Lake Campground in the future.

Beautiful site, very kind hosts,reasonably private campsites but no potable water available near most sites (all but one tap nonfunctional in most of this campsites x 4+ years) with inadequate garbage pick up and overflowing dumpsters. Pit toilets clean but not emptied off enough with a significant odor near them. Inadequate supervision with multiple campfires in the evening despite a burn ban which was very disquieting as it was hot and dry. Has the potential to be a fabulous campground

I was amazed at the staff there. They were extremely organized when we arrived on Sunday. There was huge church group there and they had to do traffic control, were superb. They also helped me get a jump start for my boat which had a dead battery. They went the extra mile for all the campers and day visitors to keep things really together. I can't say enough good things about them!
