My husband and I stayed on a Friday thru Monday at Lupine campground. It’s a well maintained campground and we enjoyed our stay with the exception of the “quiet time” hours not being enforced. A group of 18-24 year olds set up camp next to ours on Saturday night and were extremely loud and vulgar the entire night. And I do mean the ENTIRE night. They also helped themselves to items in our cooler at one point when we were away from our site. We loved Bass Lake, but would probably choose a different campground next time only because of that experience.
we’ve been camping at Lupine for about 15 years. It’s our favorite get-away.
No problems with the campsite in general, super friendly rangers! Just be aware that there is a lot of poison oak in the wooded areas behind and to the sides of sites 81 & 82. Others too I’m sure.
What about pets
Hi Larry,
Pets are okay (on leash in campground) at Lupine Campground; and no more than 2 pets per campsite.
