The Best Bishop Camping | California Campgrounds

We stayed here on our trip from San Diego to Washington.  We drove in without reservations mid week, and they had a spot for us.  Super clean bathrooms and coin op showers, a small laundry room and high country museum, and a well stocked store.  Very friendly.  We parked on grass, and over the fence was a very nice public country club golf course.  Many of the campers were staying there to golf, go fishing and to ride atvs. Only a mile into town for a large supermarket, Starbucks, and two incredible bakeries.   The view was beautiful.  The grounds right along Hwy 395, so you did hear trucks at night, but we camped further off the road, so it was totally doable.  Would stay here again as a “passing through” not for deep woods experience.

Grass camping with amenities 

I stayed 2 nights here Sept 29 &amp; 30, 2020 and I’m glad I did. First off, the price was great which was $28/night throw in a 7 minute hot shower for $2 more(you buy the tokens at the onsite general store) but the cold showers are free. Number 2, Bishop is a nice little town with AMAZING food spots, so you will want a little time to check those out. The staff is friendly all around from check in to grabbing a hot dog and a beer to the hardworking grounds crew. Every tent site has a fire pit, picnic table, and good grass as the grounds crew are watering the sites when not in use. The bathrooms are clean, kept up, and not cramped. The showers are nice and clean too with each shower having it’s own door with lock unlike the showers at the local gym. Right by a golf course and directly off 395 which wasn’t loud during the evening. There are hiking trails about a 30 minute drive away on Pine Creek Rd. They weren’t open when I was there due to the wildfires on the other side of the ridge. Great campground to stay for a couple days to see what Bishop has to offer.

Cozy spot on the edge of town

Clean easy to get in sites. Water and electric sites with a dump station for when you leave. Bathrooms were very clean. Only complaint is that as a paying guest we still had to pay to dump ($5) and showers are $2/7mins.  Great place for kids with playground, western town and store with ice cream and beers. 

We will be back

Great place to stay.   Close
To town(Bishop).   Close to lots of lakes and tons to do and see.   Very clean, 

Nice place to stay 

The campground and bathrooms were clean and well taken care of. It’s like a parking lot with big trees. But a very nice parking lot with trees. The pull thoughts were very welcome since it was dark when we got there.  Would we stay again? Probably if we were passing g through like this trip.

Clean and quiet

Just pulled in late for one night. Nice large spaces, pretty open with several large trees for shade.  $35 for water and power hook ups; $30 for no hook ups/tent; $2 showers; $5 guest dump; $15 non guest (dump hours 8-4:30).

Nice little general store.
