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 (Prob just the hookups). 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 (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. Very very hot in the summer, and quite cool in the fall and cold in the winter. Photo of the a campsite. Dry sites would be on the left and hookups on right. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26277985@N00/1985983108/ The only pics I had of the pond: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26277985@N00/1985967096/in/set-72157603116122063?edited=1 http://www.flickr.com/photos/26277985@N00/1985159467/in/set-72157603116122063?edited=1 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.
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 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.
