Convenience is the only reason to stay

Not sure what has changed, but no such thing as $15 camping here. Minimum charge was $20, and that was dry camping only. For electric and water sites we paid $35. That said, the showers were nice (and free), and the restrooms were clean. Lots of noise both day and night, but that's the tradeoff for stores and restaurants nearby. All in all a mediocre experience.... but convenient.

Tight spaces but clean, in town

Section of the county fairgrounds is a dedicated RV park. Has full hookup sites as well as no hookup sites. Park is clean & well run but spaces are small and tight. Pretty much a gravel lot. Level. One side has mostly shade, the other full sun. Showers and bathrooms are very clean. Fires in your own enclosed metal ring/container only.

The off-hours campground host is super serious and frequently asked to see our tag/receipt. YOU JUST CHECKED AN HOUR AGO 😤 Unnecessary and demeaning signs placed throughout just left a bad taste in our mouth (see photo).

No on-site laundry but the park is centrally located so is close to everything in Bishop.

Lots to do nearby including white mountains, Sierra Nevada, Bristlecone Pine forest in the Inyo NF. Easy walk to downtown coffee shops, pubs, restaurants & shops.

Would probably not stay again what with the militant host and unnecessary reminders that no, my mother indeed does not work here.

Good Location, Great Price

15$ a night for tent camping (includes water, electric, & showers). Very close to downtown. It is an open field, some might feel a bit exposed. Very nice staff & clean facilities.
