We stayed at the group site. The road leading down to the site was not maintained, which caused issues getting equipment down. Regular bathrooms were down, but brand new porta-potties were supplied, which was great. Tent sites were not well groomed out. This place could have been leveled better. Tables are in poor shape, maybe needs a scout troop to build some new ones. Host was nice. Firewood was a little expensive, we suggest you bring your own for the future. Bear boxes were in great shape. Partial Shade, pictures on page make it look more shadier than it is. Stream truly runs directly next to camp, which was our personal sound machine for sleep. You don't really hear any road noise. For larger groups who want to camp together, this place is worth it.

I have been coming for years to this camp. This is the only year that we did not get our restrooms cleaned every day. I understand that the campground host quit and you were short handed. But over all we really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at Site 006 and it was amazing! The site is surrounded by beautiful trees and backs to Bishop Creek. It was close enough to people that my wife felt comfortable in case of a bear, lol, but still private enough to enjoy peaceful rest. The only thing I would say is that the creek was moving pretty good, so while it was no problem in the daytime, it was a little loud at night. This will definitely be a place we will return to in the future!

Must walk down two level of stairs with camp gear. NO DRIVE UP ACCESS. Water in toilets were leaking and sprayed water when flushed. Trash cans not covered with animal or bear resistant hoods - open without lids. Camp host Jerry at Bishop Park CG across the street was very friendly and stated toilets were in need of repair - pending.
