Very clean campground with friendly staff. Able to ride offroad vehicles straight out of the campground onto 100's of miles of trails. County park next door with pond, tennis courts, and playground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camp here every Fourth of July and make other trips throughout the year too. Located on the north side of Bishop, just off the 395. The sites all sit right along the creek. Hookup sites are on one side of the creek (you can also have tents on the site) and the dry sites are on the other. (The creek is only a few feet wide.) Where you park your RV it is dirt, but your fire ring/bbq area is nice green grass all the way up the the creek. The dry sites are all dirt, no grass (as far as I can remember but there may be some sites with grass--we always get an hookup site, plug in the RV and put the tents on our grassy area). Sites seem roomy enough for our liking and we've never seen the park full. Even on the major holiday when it is more filled, it never feels overcrowded. The flush toilets/token showers are quite clean and there is also a laundry facility. 19 of the sites are electric and water. No sewer. Grounds are very well maintained, and you can always catch them working around camp and keeping the green grass well watered. The campground has numerous amenities that rarely seem to get used such as tennis courts, huge athletic fields, horseshoe pits, a playground, archery area, and a small pond for fishing and swimming. There's no power boats and I'm not a big fan of swimming in ponds, but I have seen people in there on occasion. More often, the kids just play in the creek although it is always freezing! We are terrible fishermen, but can always catch tons of bluegill and they stock the pond with Alpers we catch some times. Fishing there is actually quite decent. You should know that the grounds are quite large and all the amenities listed here in this second paragraph (except the creek) are not right adjacent to the campsites. It's all the same property, but you've got to walk a bit (or a very short drive) to get over to those things. I guess there is an equestrian area just next door. I've seen the horses but that's about all I know. Also, stargazing is fantastic here. It's very, very hot in the summer, and quite cool in the fall and cold in the winter. Dry sites are on the left and hookup sites are on right. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Limited number of sites with TV cable, water and electricity. The remaining RV sites have electricity and water only. Most of the sites are shaded with lots of grass throughout the park. There is a small store and cafe on site. Although the park is adjacent to Highway 395, road noise did not bother us. All in all this is a nice park with easy access to Highway 395 and convenient to downtown Bishop. The only negative we found was the $5.00 charge to use the dump station (non-guest dump charge was $12.00). We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of shady trees and grass. The biggest problem with this over-priced campground is there are no sewer hook-ups and access to the dump station is limited by certain hours. Bring your "honeywagon." No designated pet area, just pick up after it. No internet access available at all in this campground...not even dial-up. Plenty of trash cans around for you to use, though. The sand in this campground seems to get in your unit, your shoes and everywhere. Right next to a golf course, so there is early morning mowing sounds. Next to the highway so there is traffic noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Really a nice place and the RV sites are over sized. 30 Amp power and water at sites. There is a dump station on the exit loop. Staff is friendly. We look forward to going back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice park to use as a base to explore the Bishop area. It is close to downtown, shaded by big cottonwoods and spacious. Our back in site (#61) bordered a large grassy lawn loved by the doggie. Restrooms are clean but there are few of them so strategic timing can be needed on bathroom runs. Nice folks and a nice camp store. Overall quite a comfortable place but too bad there's no Wi-fi. Also, they charge you an additional $3 fee to use their dump station which is sort of irksome. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We used this as a stopover on our way to Idaho for Thanksgiving. You need CASH to pay for spot as the office is closed for the season. Road was tight for our 35' motorhome to negotiate into a spot. No lighting so view of sky is great, but at least a little light so you could find which site has hookups would have been nice. Overall site was better than a parking lot since we had electric. Site was fairly level and only took a couple of minutes to level the coach. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Where do I start? Gal in office asked if we wanted hookups or no hookups, we chose hookups, little did we know that only meant electric and water until we reached our site. Power voltage was very low, dirty dusty sites and roads. Sprinklers were running 24/7 but they charge for showers??? Dogs were running loose everywhere, permanents doing what they wanted was obvious as no one in management was checking on anything. No TV reception or cable. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is definitely a family campground and not an RV park. The sites are laid out so there are lots of tents and pop-ups intermixed with larger units. There is no pavement, so dust is raised by any and all traffic. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of trees and grass. There is a dump station now, but a charge of $3 to use it no matter how long you stay. To use showers is $1 for 7 minutes of hot water. Also, a grouchy guy now takes care of the grounds. He discourages you from using the shower because he has to clean them. Otherwise, a fantastic spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very shady, grassy park. Friendly people. Well maintained. Spotless restrooms. This is one of our favorites. We camped here in a camper.
Location is great (at 8000 feet near South Lake above Bishop). Management is friendly and competent. Trout fishing is excellent -- the creek runs right by the RV park, and they have their own pond. However, sites are very close together-- there is almost no privacy. The park is basically a large dirt clearing surrounded by aspens, but most sites have little or no shade. Bathrooms are old and small. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A well maintained campground at the based of Rock Creek Canyon near Highway 395. Near Tom's Place, half way between Bishop and the turn-off for Mammoth Lakes. This is an excellent dry camping site for tents and RV under 30 feet. Access for longer RV is marginal due to narrow campground loop roads lined with boulders. There are a few possible sites for a motor home and a tow vehicle. All of the sites we checked were not level. Boulders, rocks, shrubs, pinyon trees and pot holes are present to inflict damage upon an RV and especially the larger size ones. Backing skills are challenged by the campground layout. There is a dump station across from the campground entrance. There are designated water hook-ups for an RV along the campground loops. Sites are shaded by Pinyon Pines or the taller Jeffrey Pines. We stayed in Site 41, which offered the most room for our motor home. When we left, a South Dakota couple with a 40 foot RV quickly relocated to #41. We camped here for five nights in a 36 foot motor home. We will not return with a motor home, but will with a tent and an SUV. The campground rates a 10 from me for tenting or small RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Four Jeffrey is okay. It's not horrible, but I am a High Sierra/Bishop camping snob, so to me, Four Jeffrey is a place I'll stay if I have no other choice in that general area. The surrounding areas near South Lake, North Lake and Sabrina are exquisite and fishing is awesome. Four Jeffrey can get a little noisy at times. I got the impression that there were some party-animals that like to camp there and I like my solitude in the High Sierra. Some campers also lacked camp etiquette. I also don't like that many of the sites do not have shade and feel rather "exposed." The sites near the stream are definitely the best. One good thing about Four Jeffrey is that they take reservations, while many other campgrounds in the area are first come, first serve. Not good if you are driving in from Southern Cal on Thursday or Friday night. Four Jeffrey is nice if you want to make reservations so you are sure that you will have a spot on the weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A beautiful campground above Bishop. Some of the best sites (near the stream) go early with reservations. If you don't have reservations, try to get to the campground early to pick from the best of the rest. Some sites have no shade at all. Use bear lockers if tent camping! We saw two bears rummaging through the trash bins up the road! We camped here in a Tent.
This is a nice campground. Most of the campsites have no shade, only the ones next to the stream are shaded by aspen trees. There are wonderful views of the mountains that border the campground. Water faucets can be far away for some sites. There is a dump station. You can make reservations online. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is similar to a "parking lot" type campground: meaning it's all paved with dirt between the sites. The sites are mostly pull-throughs, though there are a few along the west wall that are back-ins. There are a lot of full-timers along the east and north walls. The sites are pretty level; the paved portions happen to be a bit narrow for my taste. Having come here two springs in a row, we've noticed that the campground fills up nightly: mostly with people heading north or south along the 395. It's not really a destination campground: no amenities such as a playground, store, pool, etc. But it's a clean, well-kept place, with a very friendly manager who lives on site. I agree with the previous reviewer's concern about the price - $40 is high, compared to the $28 you pay at Brown's Town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our site was not level. Park has good internet and cable TV. There are many long term tenants and many rigs in storage throughout the park. Overpriced in my opinion (and in the opinion of several people I saw pull in, read the price on the board, then leave). Rating based on price/value, otherwise a decent place to overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed four nights. Friendly, competent office/management staff. It was nice they let you pick your own site. Be careful, if you vacate your site and plan to return later, you must put the picnic table across the space or someone will snag it - especially during the busy season. Very quiet, peaceful park. First place we've ever seen with 9pm quiet time rather than 10pm. We had a good level spot. Dog walk area is big and grassy but could use to be fenced in - could not go off leash as it was right next to the highway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We pulled in after dark, the office was closed, and left in the morning, so we didn't use much of the facility other than the dog walk area which was nice, large and supplied with pick-up bags. However, there is a very, very LOUD siren in the fire department parking lot across the highway. It is used to alert personnel of a call. The siren went off around 7am (three blasts of about 10 seconds each), followed about 10 minutes later by emergency vehicles responding from that location. Ugh. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean and quiet. Spots somewhat narrow-had to park a few inches to side to allow slide to clear service box. Friendly, helpful staff. Had trouble with 50 amp plug, but found it had a crack in the plastic, and were able to move. GREAT restaurant right across the street. Nice dog walk area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park at the north end of Bishop. All sites are large and clean. Some of the pull-through sites are a little unlevel but still nice. Good access for large rigs. The staff was nice and friendly. The do not offer Good Sam or other discounts. Stayed here in a 35' fifth wheel and will come back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park is clean and a good stop on the way up or down Hwy 395. The price I felt was a little high but again this is California and everything is pricey. Warning: If you have a large rig be careful with the trees when you pull into your space. Also, the pads have a crest so leveling might be a little tough for some rigs. We will stop here again if we are passing through Bishop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed Saturday and Sunday while waiting for Diesel repair place to open on Monday. Sites a little difficult for a 40' MH to get level on and slightly narrow. Friendly folks and a nice clean stop. If you need repairs in Bishop, Brit's is the place, very professional. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were forced here due to high winds and all the spots we had stayed before being full due to the beginning of fishing season. This will now be our go-to place on our way home from AZ after winter. The spots are adequate in length and width. We have 4 slides and had no problems. When we pulled in the office was closed for about 30 minutes but one of the long-term residents advised us to pick a spot and then go to the office when it was open. The park was not full so we had no problem finding a spot. The dog run is not enclosed but is all grass, huge, and they have bags and a big trash can. Nice for our 4-legged child. The wi-fi was great and the cable was also great. It is a little pricey but for a spot this clean and confortable, it is worth it to us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We lived there full time for a year and half. The staff were very accommodating, and helpful. The park was always nice and clean. Spaces were large and roomy. Everything was always in working order. Everybody was nice and friendly ,If you needed help or information, it was always available. We would definitely stay there again Full Time or just as a overnighter. Thank You for making our 1st RV experience a good one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If I were to rate this park strictly by other options in the area it might get a "9". There aren't too many places to choose from and, from what I saw, they didn't look too great. This was a nice spot for a few days. Lack of a pool or other type of distractions knocks it down a few pegs. Overall cleanliness was very good. Sites were clean and well maintained. Good selection of cable channels. Utilities were all in working order albeit for a leaky water hookup. Office staff was very friendly. I've read a few other posts saying that the sites were level and generally they were in good order. The sites were paved but I found them to have a slight crown to them. I also wasn't the only one using the majority of my leveling blocks. But again, it wasn't anything worth complaining about. This is a great park for exploring the local area. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an overnight stay for us. We found the sites and interior road to be paved and level. The restrooms and showers are nice and clean although a little old. You do not pay extra for showers like other parks in this town charge. Wi-Fi was at no charge, and it worked fine. There was minimal road noise even though the highway was very near the park. There is a great little Mexican restaurant that has a congenial owner. We would not stay here again however just because it's a basic no frills park at a rate much too high for what you get. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a two night shakedown with the new rig and the staff was quite accommodating knowing we were on a break in mission. They positioned us in an end site, second row pull through which made the docking easy. With relatives nearby we hitched rides around but a few restaurants are in walking distance plus the Piute Casino is nearby (another place to camp). We needed to test all the equipment so boon docking was not an option but is possible at the Casino and the K-Mart lot for an overnight. This is a highly popular stop for fisherman and the CG has a fully setup fish cleaning station! We'd go back again. Watch the low hanging tree limbs though. Also, forget using your TV antenna; satellite reception is sketchy due to the trees but the cable hook up is good. A very clean CG with lots to do nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice RV park with many shaded sites. Pads are asphalt and relatively level. Only drawback is the sites are pretty close together making it cozy with your neighbor. They have pull through and back in sites. The park is located close to town and also a reasonable driving distance to Mammoth Mountain and fishing lakes and streams. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We felt this park was a little expensive for what is provided. Spaces are narrow and you have to pay extra for WiFi. It was a clean park with nice shade trees. It was okay for overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park located close to downtown Bishop. Clean, quiet and well maintained. Located on Hwy. 395 and easy access for big rigs. We would stay here again when passing through Bishop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice clean RV park. It's not the prettiest of campgrounds from a scenery standpoint. There is a brick wall surrounding the RV park. All of the sites are clearly marked, wide enough for a slide out, are level, and have full hookups. There are a few trees but for the most part don't plan on a whole lot of shade. Bathroom and laundry facilities were spotless. They have a small recreation room with a pool table, movies, and books. They have free wifi at good speeds and you are in cell phone range if you need it. The staff was very friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here 4 days. Nice park that is close to every thing Bishop has to offer. Located about a mile North of Bishop. Highly recommend and would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Clean park with paved interior roads and sites. Concrete patio slabs with picnic table.
$2.00 charge for modem connection. Thought park was overpriced for what is there. Spaces close together. Would probably stop again as a stopover if passing
thru the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a clean, well maintained park with a great view of the Sierra Nevada and White Mountains. It is close to quality services and places to eat. Within a few miles is some of the best trout fishing in the world. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Free parking in field next to Casino parking area, relatively level. No hookups, but water available. Register in casino, and promise to use casino facilities. Can stay for five days. Walk to casino. Good restaurant. Gas station on property. Beautiful views of mountains. We camped here in a Motorhome.
