Camp 9 Recreation Area Campground
The place
Camp 9, rests on the shores of Lake Isabella, a high desert reservoir (elevation 2,600 feet). In the spring and early summer, the breeze can come up in the afternoons, but the mornings are quiet and calm. Camp 9 is popular with RVs and there is lots of parking available to accommodate trailers and motorized watercraft. Dump station fee is $20 per use (there is NO free dumping! ie: free dumping with 4 or more days reserved). For watercraft a courtesy dock for launching located within the day use portion of the site if water levels are accommodating. Shade is limited so plan on bringing protection against the sun. Camp 9 Recreation Area and Camping are available March 29 through October 30.
