Timo is an excellent camp host. He goes way beyond what is required from him. Last year he saw we left behind a picnic chair. He saved it for us for a whole year and returned it to us when we arrived. Restrooms are immaculate by pit standards. Thank you Timo!

"Kimo" the camp host really makes this campground work. He keeps the guests in check, and more importantly, ensures we were doing okay. More specifically, he's always visible and I've seen him talk with visitors to keep their speed down through the campgrounds, ensures people are are accommodated for their reserved sites, ensures people are not on sites they shouldn't be in and advises where they should go, and happily advises what to do while they are visiting. Also, I never had a problem with noises during quiet hours. The sites are always kept in great order, current restrictions like fire restrictions are always provided as well. This is the second year in a row I've been there and it was a wonderful visit. Also note, this was during fire season where the South Lake Tahoe area was evacuated and all of CA's US Forests were closed outside of this area. I saw Kimo do everything he could to accommodate these displaced residence and campers.

This campground is located next to Trumbull Lake (1 of 4 lakes) about 8 miles North on HWY 395 from Mono Lake. It a few thousand feet above Mono Lake which offers cooler weather. The campground itself is great for fishing the small lakes (be mindful to use light gear as these fish are very weary and have had a lot of pressure), many hiking trails with commonsense restrictions on dogs (read: keep your dog on a leash), mature wooded areas, and close access to Mono Lake, the town and lake of Bridgeport, and the Bodie ghost town to name a few places. The only negative I have is the well-worn access roads throughout the campground, which are essentially dusty trails now. Access into the campground is good, but rigs over 30 feet may have some challenges maneuvering through the campground. Although you should have enough clearance, it's the narrow oneway roads that would be of concern. Lastly, this is a dry campground as with most US Forest locations.

Overall, I would recommend this campground.
