Known for the fishing, Intake 2 is a small lake along the road to Lake Sabrina, just past the South Lake turn off. There are 5 walk in sites on the west shore of the lake and 11 sites suitable for small vehicles near the creek above Intake 2.
From Bishop go west on State Route 168 (Line Street) approximately 16 miles. The Intake Two Campground will be on your left.
This was our backup plan since Sabrina campground was full. It's still a very lovely campground as the sites were surrounded by a river and lake. The lake itself you can't swim in according to the rangers due to the power utilities stuff that are there. You can fish can canoe though.
There's two areas to this campground, upper and lower. We originally headed down to lower Intake 2, those sites were nestled right next to the river, but we found another one at upper intake that was well shaded and it was more secluded. We later found out there was also an easy access to the river over the hill for shower rinsing needs. The cost was $24.00 a night and $7.00 extra flat fee for an extra car coming out to $55.00 for two nights. The paid parking area only fit about 4-5 cars at best or else you'll have to try your luck at the first come, first serve parking lot (that's right next to paid parking lot). There were two restroom buildings, the farther one was vaulted (no sink) and had recycling bins right outside. The one closer to our site had running water (had a sink and drinking water fountain) and flushable toilets.
For a first timer camper, I definitely really liked this campsite a lot, it was close to the hiking trails that we wanted to do as well.
Are u kidding me I had been up camping to Bishop like a few times and never went here. What was I thinking. Campsites on point, accessibility to intake on point, Steven making rounds checking on us making sure we don't leave anything out for the bears and receptive and very amicable to answer questions. Kids had never been to Bishop now theyre asking when are we going again. Mission Acomplished.!!!!!
I have been staying at this campground for years now and it never disappoints. The sites are pretty large and well kept by the staff. If you are looking to get out and camp near the Bishop area, look no further than this campground.
Beautiful campground at a good fishing spot! Just take Hwy 168 West out of Bishop. Also known as W Line St. About 20 miles/minutes you’re there. It’s on the left shortly after the road forks. Before Aspendel. Elevation 8,200 ft. Beautiful in the Fall 👍Nice level trail for a walk as well.
