Brown's Town Campground, Bishop, California

Campground Review from Abby

I found out about this campground from my parents, and we RV camped there in July 2007.

We actually tent camp and RV. It has hook ups, if you need to. The spaces have grass and some dirt for your cars, a picnic table, some have fire pits. 120+ spaces. Very shady. They have a free tiny museum, playground, picnic area, horseshoes, a campground store that serves lunch, ice cream, pies and sweets. Quiet, even when busy. Token showers, about 8 or 9. Nice bathrooms, always clean. I have gone there since I was one month old. We started out tent camping, then my dad bought a motor home, but the kids still tent. We have two generations of family that go every year for the 4th of July.

Pros: Shady, playground for kids, quiet, scenery is perfect.

Cons: Token showers.

Nearby attractions: Fishing, tons of fishing. For the 4th of July, they have a show at the airport. Hiking, swimming, hot springs, Mammoth, Laws Railroad Museum, park in town with stream through it, lots of stores.

Further comments: We come back every year, 22 years, and thats just me.
