Description

Camp 9, a year-round facility, 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. Fall and winter are perhaps the most beautiful time of the year with temperatures ranging from the 60s in the day to low 40s at night. Camp 9 is popular with RVs and there is lots of parking available to accommodate trailers and motorized watercraft. Dump station fee is $10 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.
