Wishon Bass Lake

Overview

Wishon Campground is located across the street from Bass Lake. The camp is shady, due to dense stands of manzanita, oak, cedar and pine, and thick undergrowth provides ample privacy. Some sites at Wishon offer lake views. Recreation Bass Lake offers a beach and boat ramp.
