Great For Your First Time

This was our first camping trip and it was successful. Plenty of space in a grassy lot plus fire pit and water hose bib if needed. Quick drive to Owen river for fishing and other activities. About an hour from June lake. Golf course looked nice but not enticing as it was 98° during the day (4th of July weekend). The town of bishop is less than a mile with a bunch of shops and restaurants to check out along with a bunch of stores, so if you forget something don’t sweat it. In all it was fairly priced and seem very appropriate for a quiet family summer trip!
