Very very Rude host Randy (refused to give us his last name or supervisor "Torri's" last name or phone number)campsite was filled with trash.. shoes hanging from trees along with USED toilet paper scattered everywhere. We asked for information to possibly be refunded for both our campsites..Randy informed us he does not share information pertaining to his last name, supervisors last name or phone number in his chain of command (I would think is a safety measure to make sure your host is who he says he is....)and told us to TRY to get our money refunded somewhere online seeing how "everything that pertains to the campsite and him is done by someone in Washington DC behind a computer" (his words). We didn't bother staying and will be seeking a refund.

You can't sit outside here for 10 seconds. The flies are so extremely annoying that they fly into your ears, eyes and nose. Reason probably the desolate toilet facilities. We planned 2 nights, fled again after 12 hours.....

Do not stay at the cabin. It's dirty, badly taken care of. It's expensive and not worth the money. Unless you want to camp in a location that doesn't allow fires. I will not stay here again. To expensive. 180$ a night is way to much!

When staying at Wishon Campground - you must camp in one of the established sites and park in the parking spot there - you cannot come in and camp wherever you would like.
I think you can buy firewood from the camp host for a reasonable price. Make sure campfires are allowed when you go. And yes, Springville is about a 40 minute drive out.
Yes
Propane stoves of all kinds are allowed at the campground. Burning firewood or charcoal isn't allowed.
All sites are now shown and accurately portrayed on the map at recreation.gov: will try to upload a copy of that.
Yes, on leash. We took our dog with us and the campground allowed pets on leash. Also the (easy!) trails we did allowed dogs on leash, which we appreciated because most don't.
I was there about two weeks ago, and fires were okay. The sign on the way out to the campground said the fire danger was low. I would think fires are still not a problem.
It depends on the site. We were at 15, and it only fits one car. It'll say on recreation.gov if the site fits more then one vehicle.
Yes you can
You can always go to recreation.gov website to check the Availability Grid in order to check the availability of any campsite in any campground they serve on any day or days going six months forward. Generally - sites are usually available as walk-ins (also known as First Come First Serve campsites) during the week and most always booked on weekends. Summer has more weekday bookings but usually you can get a walk-in for a single site. Since we are currently under a fire ban (for 2022) availability is generally better. You need propane equipment like a cook stove or fire ring (for a campfire) as the fire ban is likely to go a while and recur in the near future.
Yes, we just camped there this last weekend of April & had campfires. We chatted with the camp host about fires & he said "right now" it's not an issue since they had some recent rain and everything is still pretty green, so I don't know if they would still allow fires as it gets drier. You are supposed to watch a quick video online to get "permitted" to burn.
Usually when you arrive that late, you just pull into your assigned camp site, and just check in with the camp host in the morning. There's no gate/guard shack to the camp ground so you can just pull right in. That's what my wife and I did when we stayed last December.
We have a 24 ft one, and barely squeezed in! Thankfully my husband is an experienced driver cuz most of the road up to the campground was rough and narrow if you had to allow somebody to pass. The campground itself was also tight but mostly because of the trees overhead and undergrowth crowding the aisles. We just fit our rig and truck into our spot, so it was nice and cozy but we still had plenty of room in the back at the fire pit & picnic table for our chairs. We checked out other spots for future reference and don't think we could have fit into very many of them! The campground was sold out and we were the only rig there, everybody else was tent camping.
No showers in the campground, but water faucets where you can do a quick wash. Plus the river is there for a swim and rinse. There is a town about 12 miles away (4 miles back to the highway and then 8 miles further up the 190) that might have showers.
No! Yosemite is more north. No smoke. It's clear and saw lots of shooting stars at night! It's beautiful and away from crowd!
As of 2022, there is just one walk-up site (#12) as all of the others have been turned in to reservable sites. You can always check a campsite's Availability Grid on recreation.gov if you want to see if there are any unreserved campsites on the day you want to arrive. If it is within 3 days of the current date - those campsites turn from reservable campsites to First-Come, First Serve. That doesn't mean that someone else hasn't come up in person to claim those sites - and generally - you cannot find out of those campsites are occupied unless you GO up there in person.
You can do both.
As of April 2022 you can still see burn evidence at the campground, but it's nicely grown back in and lush & green again.
