Bishop Park Campground is beside Bishop Creek, 3 miles downstream from Lake Sabrina. Visitors to the campground enjoy a pretty site along the popular fishing stream. Nearby Lake Sabrina is also a favorite destination for fishing. A free launch ramp is available there. The speed limit on Lake Sabrina is 10 MPH.
Hikers often set out from the trailhead at Lake Sabrina into the Sabrina Basin for day trips or overnight stays at one of the many beautiful lakes. Photographers and nature lovers are drawn to the fall color of the aspens along the valley.
Bishop Park Campground has 18 campsites along the creek. Eight of the campsites are for tents only. The rest of the sites can accommodate small RVs, trailers, and tents. Some of the best campsites are down close to the creek. The maximum stay at the campground is 14 days.
Bishop Park Group Campground is located across the highway from the main Bishop Park Campground. The tent-only group campsite has room for up to 25 people and 8 vehicles. Picnic tables, piped water, flush toilets, and bear boxes are provided. RVs are not recommended.
Reservations must be made for camping from late May through early September at least 4 days (and up to 12 months) in advance. At other times when the campground is open, the site is first-come, first-served. There is a 2 night minimum stay when reserving the site.
Before choosing Bishop Park Group Campground, groups might also consider Table Mountain Group Campground along South Lake Road. Although Table Mountain has vault toilets and no potable water, it is more secluded and scenic than Bishop Park's group site.
