Moving to Bishop, live in a vehicle and I usually rely on gyms to shower, are there any consistent/inexpensive options in town?

I remember paying $5 for a shower at the hostel this past summer. You didn’t have to be staying there to shower.

Got to Keoughs Hotsprings.  Buy a day pass for $12 (last time i checked) take a nice soak and swim.  Then use the shower after.  Great way to start a rest day.

I showered at the laundromat, it was $5 at the time but unlimited time and hot water plus a little mirror and sink if you want to shave and brush teeth etc.
The custodian had to let me in the unlocked room, idk the hours they are there for that tbh.

You can fill up water outside the Bishop Information Center by the park on Main St.

I like the water from the gas station next to the casino, the gas station near the high country lumber also has a spigot but I think it tastes funny.

I was going to the speedway gas station. in the back they have 3 taps.

They ask for a donation to a charity if you dump waste, but it’s not required for water.


and showers at the hostel are nice, they accept cc and provide a towel. There is only one shower though, so sometimes there is a queue

Please also shower first.

No.  Take your stinky ass into the shower immediately and scrub it with industrial soap and a wire brush for about 15 minutes.  Then swim, soak.  Then take another shower if you feel like it.

Keough’s does not allow day pass users to use full on showers. You can only use the “rinse off showers” unless you check in as a camper there.
