Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights9 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Fishing is a major draw here the South Fork Bishop Creek is stocked with rainbow, brown, brook and Alpers trout, and a fish-cleaning station is provided on site. Hikers and riders can access multiple trailheads into the John Muir Wilderness; the Tyee Lakes Trailhead is less than a mile up the road and leads to striking views of the Inconsolable Range and the peaks around South Lake, with connections toward the John Muir Trail and routes that access features such as Devils Postpile.

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 (9,407 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.
