Tuyen T ★ 2 · Oct 2025
The host of the campground was very rude during our stay. Went to get a parking pass for the additional vehicle and was told to come back. We were told to move our RV because the way we parked it was not correct, even though there was space and it looked like a parking spot for RV. He came to our site twice asking about the music that was on during the day time but it was not our site that had music playing. It wasn't a great experience dealing with the host.

One of the worst camps I have experienced. Most sites are on the hillside, not level for table or tent. The loop road was rough, and had a pothole a yard wide and half a foot deep. The road to and out of camp was no picnic either. We were warned that we were in bear country, but there were no bear boxes -- other than our cars. The toilets were pretty good, with running water, flush toilets, and some of the best toilet paper I have experienced. The Bass Lake in general is worth experiencing. It only needed a better camp than WIshon, and I will try to find it.

This was our first time camping here, and unfortunately, we won’t be returning. The positives were that the campsite was conveniently located near the water, and having a restaurant nearby was a nice bonus. However, several factors contributed to our decision not to come back. The camp host was quite rude and seemed to have an issue with our presence. He unfairly blamed us for playing music that we weren't even responsible for, and his frequent visits to our campsite made us feel like we were doing something wrong. We had kids with us and spent most of our time down by the water, so it was disheartening to feel unwelcome. Additionally, the roads were tight and narrow, making it difficult to navigate. Parking was a challenge, especially with the stumped markers that made it feel like we were double parking. There was simply no way to park more than two vehicles if you had a trailer. Overall, it wasn’t the experience we hoped for.

How far ahead to book Wishon Bass Lake

For July weekends, book about 179 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 106 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
April	19 days ahead	48 days ahead	19 days ahead	50 days ahead
May	46 days ahead	117 days ahead	25 days ahead	82 days ahead
June	106 days ahead	165 days ahead	65 days ahead	151 days ahead

August	73 days ahead	130 days ahead	54 days ahead	125 days ahead
September	54 days ahead	112 days ahead	33 days ahead	94 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (14,507 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
