Been coming here every summer for many years. Quick walk to the lake and to Miller's Landing. Highly recommend.

Wishon needs bear boxes for food. We had encounter as did other campers.

We were in site #3, and the views are amazing at this site. There were trees, but for the most part, they were around the perimeter of the site. The good thing is that there are lots of young trees so the forest is growing back. The bad thing is there is not as many trees to hang a hammock. There are lots of flat spots and we were able to fit 3 good sized tents and two small tents on this site. I would definitely book this site again.

The camp host Les was great! He was such a pleasure to get to know. Very helpful. Clean facilities.

#31 was a nice open site with a good amount of room but from the pictures you really cant tell what a steep hill its on so if you get this spot be prepared to do a lot of leveling, also dont have a trailer over 20ft otherwise backing into it will be very difficult.

Great campaign site! The man in charge of maintaining the park does a great job. Roads were clear of trash and debris, restrooms clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure!
@rupalis44A85D8 · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #38
Very well maintained campsites and the restrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and soaked ourselves in the nature. We were at campsite 38, we dont see the lake from there, but the views were amazing regardless. The lake or hikes isnt that far which was a great plus. Just one thing, we had a large loud group of teens, we, including kids had a bit of hard sleeping because of the late noise. Though, I dont believe much can be done about it, it was bad timing for us. Overall, we had an excellent experience, and would definitely love to come back.

This site is well shaded which helped during the hot day. But the biggest issue with this campground is it is in bear country with lots of signs warning this but there are NO bear boxes. Also lots of hornets/wasps with only one singular trap by the nearby bathroom. We went out and bought our own traps but despite catching many hornets/wasps, there were still too many to enjoy a meal sitting in one place.

We had a great time at site 45! Theres a view of the lake, its between two bathrooms, and we were able to park 4 cars in the driveway. Most of the site is slanted but we were still able to put up 2 tents comfortably. There is also not a lot of shade but at the edge of the site there are some trees that we were able to hang up some hammocks on.

Narrow roads, need to remove the curbs on both sides of the paved road inside the campground.
@AdrianaFEF6CB1 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #14

Camp site was very nice. Good shade. Great parking. Room for several tents. The camp host was super flexible with check in. Nice people.
@KathiM2D08988A · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #45
The camp site was so very slanted that there was no flat surface to set our tents or kitchen area. Only flat spot on entire site was under the picnic bench. The roads inside the campground were horrible. They were so degraded and the tree roots had destroyed so much of it that riding our bikes popped 3 of our tires on our 4 bikes.
@BrianH5151092 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #4
The view of the lake from the site was beautiful but the site is extremely sloped. Picnic table was propped up one side with rocks to compensate for the slope. And the fire pit is also on this slope which is dangerous because you have to walk down the slope from your car. Other than accidentally twisting your ankle &/or catching fire, the view is beautiful.
@SuzanneW467238 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #19
I enjoyed my stay at Wishon. I went for walks by the lake and enjoyed the late spring wildflowers.
@JanaH841DB8C77 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #46
View of the lake is beautiful. Also quite conveniently close to the Yosemite south entrance. There were a lot of large families with kids, they seemed pretty happy with the swimming options. Extremely hard to find a flat spot on this campsite that would be big enough to fit our tiny 2 person tent. The night before we arrived there was reported bear activity on the site, and I could see why with the way people left food out.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
