Lupine Comments & Reviews
Visited Lupine Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Lupine?
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.
