Cool September Camping

September is the best time to visit! The mosquitoes are none existent.. Beware of the bears we had one hit our camp 3 times one night and he hit all the other campsites the same night! The campground is quiet and peaceful all the time. Don’t forget your fishing poles and kayaks, lake Sabrina and South Lake are full and the fish are biting. You could catch a big one out in your kayak, shore fishing has all the little ones.

Beautiful site

The tent camping sites were pretty small. Beautiful, but our site was pretty far away from the bathroom, water, and creek.

Great Campground

This campground is located in a perfect spot along the bishop creek for access to the north and south fork easily. There are plenty of toilets that are clean and well maintained. Multiple sites for trailers and some set aside for tent campers as well. The South Fork Bishop Creek runs through the campground to the east. I highly recommend this campground for everyone.
