A couple of additions to consider:
In Bishop, Great Basin Bakery has always been our goto place for goodies, especially their cinnamon rolls (if you get there early in the day before they're gone). Also, if you want a fantastic burger and shake it's Bishop Burger Barn. Both places are a bit off the beaten path but local favorites.
As you travel south of Bishop about 10 miles, a stop at Keough's Hot Springs might fit the bill. They have a wonderful swimming pool and hot baths, all fed by hot springs located on the property. They also have a few grassy campsites with hook-ups, if you want.
For views, Virginia Lakes, Lundy Canyon (this has a wonderful hike to falls and beaver ponds), June Lake Loop, Sabrina and North Lake have already been mentioned.
You know, I might have to run over there before the leaves drop!
