Gorgeous place, very clean. Most fellow campers were families. Tons of RVs.

We were in the Lower Campground.

There were a few loud talkers camping near us who stayed up past 11 pm, but that only bothered me bc my kid was afraid. They were actually not too bad, just had a few drinks and said a few bad words, but I was this close to going over and speaking with them because my guy was scared.

Near the trail there is a play area with this (octagonal?) ball pit for gaga ball. There is also a kind of field and something else (I can't remember)...but not swings or slides or anything. Just a place to gather.

Metal ring firepits for building campfires.

Bathrooms had running water and showers were across the hall. There are handicapped combination bathroom plus showers.

There are 4 or so parking spots in front of the big bathrooms. There are also vending machines there for drinks, snacks, and ice cream bars. Down a bit from the bathroom parking is a water spigot for dishwashing and I guess dousing water.

The well water in the bathrooms smells okay, but we brought water.

They restocked the bathrooms often and they were pretty clean with working toilets and sinks!

Lots of doggos.

There is a visitor guide in an RV in the upper area.

The bathrooms are lot but there are dark spots. Have a light for the walk. Phones had decent service. A little spotty. I had two Zoom meetings. For the second one I had my student call me on my phone for the audio so I used less bandwidth and I kept my signal so long as I stayed up at the ice/wood station.

I can't remember the voltage situation. We had no problems but also had a tent and no big appliances.

Curiously few bugs or critters. But then, it was a very crowded Labor Day weekend.

Pics are from 2021 and 2023. Bishop Lake area.
