I just spoke with the reserve america people and they just got confirmation of the campground closer so it looks like it is not opening I suggest that anyone that has reservation any where in the area call the ranger and the reserve america people.

Looks like Browns town is going to be a zoo!
I'm glad I bought my Independence Sportsmans Lounge a few years ago...I always have a place to stay! Check out the real estate prices there...lots of value for the outdoors types like us.
Just got back froma drive to June. Oh Ridge and June Lake campgrounds are open. June Lake has about 15-25% open water near the marina and the rest is frozen. June Lake marina has their boats in the water and so does the lodge next to the campground. This lake is gonna be busy with the lack of open water.
Gull Lake is about 75% open water. They too have their boats in the water and are ready to go. I think this will be the spot on the loop.
Right now it's 27 out and snowing. No wind. It should start warming up tomorrow with afternoon temps in the 50's. The weekend looks good with little to no wind Sat. morning warming up from the low 20's to the high 50's.
If the campground is closed--instead of draining your bank account staying at a condo in Mammath--you might want to consider one of the many motels in Bishop. They would be a lot less expensive, plus many of them have cleaning stations and freezers for your fish. Anyway, good luck for the opener--no hassles & full stringers!
I just got off the phone with the White Mtn office for Bishop. he said it was snowing on the hill
he said Bitterbrush is open. They are working on Four Jeffery and the forks. They need to get water turned on before they will officially open the campground. I told them that I would have no problems walking around a gate to pitch a tent. he laughed
The campground at Intake II will be accessible because they will plow the road to Intake II (I hope) I will find out tomorrow.
I wonder what this will do to the fishing planting this week. More fish in less water. This sucks because I like to fish the creeks Looks like I my bounce out early and head for the Kern River
All. Just received an email at 3:00 p.m. from Reserve America/Recreation Gov. cancelling my reservation and refunding my money for Convict Lake Campground. (Dates 4/29 to 5/2) Note that I didn't call requesting this cancellation.
I just got an update from the USFS regarding the campground situation....at least as it pertains to Bishop Creek.
Big Trees and one loop of Four Jeffrey were opened today. Add that to Bitterbrush and that makes 3 camping options for the Bishop Creek Drainage.
According to our contact - they are planning to open more campgrounds if the demand is there.
HOOORAY!
Also - the roads up the canyon are being maintained by Inyo County and Caltrans and should be clear for the stocking trucks.
How does the area around Bishop Park camground look?
Haven't been up there to be honest. There is probably a few inches of snow on the ground after the last 48 hours of weather.Originally Posted by IncredibleHuck
