One of my favorite campgrounds. Kimo, the host, is excellent. He takes pride in the campground, he is very visible throughout the day and will take the time to answer any questions.The campground is at a high elevation, just under 10,000 feet, which I prefer with a great hike available right from the campground.

Kimo, the campground host, was terrific, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The campground was very nice, well located near Trumbull Lake, with easy access to the hiking trails up to the Virginia Lakes and beyond. The dumpster and bathrooms were clean, but smelled, so if the wind was right, it was overpowering. I recommend a campsite away from the bathrooms and dumpster.

Nice campground and the camp manager is polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Site 39 may be a regular go-to site if it weren't for the trash dumpster placed adjacent to the site. The "corner" location does provide a pretty good view of towering peaks above the lake (but no view of the lake itself) which is nice, but the dumpster and nearby restroom result in a nearly constant parade of campers past the site. The campground is well kept and generally quiet. Be sure to use the bear box at night because the campers next to me that did not were visited by a hungry bear one night and their site was ravaged. The lakes are beautiful and anglers of all ages were catching fish from Trumble Lake (I can't speak for the Virginia Lakes but assume they're good fishing, too). The Virginia Lakes Resort recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and is super convenient for basic supplies and tackle, and serves breakfast and lunch until late afternoon. Bridgeport and Twin Lakes are a short drive with good fishing, and the old mining town of Bodie is nearby and worth the visit (be sure to take the stamp mine tour!) as well as Mono Lake and the forest service visitor center.

My wife and I camped here for 4 days beginning on Sept. 5th. Absolutely beautiful setting and the camp host, Kimo, did his very best to make the campground clean, safe and secure. Upon our arrival, he offered to relocate us to the best campsite I have ever had (since it was available).
We hiked up to 5 alpine lakes and I cannot wait to take my grown kids here to experience this "back country".
Thank you Kimo for sharing your expertise with us. 5 Stars!
