Overview

This destination serves as a primary hub for nature lovers and travelers looking for a rustic yet comfortable camping experience. Situated at an elevation of approximately 6,400 feet, the park provides a refreshing high-altitude retreat during the warmer months, focusing on a relaxed pace of life centered around the reservoir’s natural beauty.
Location & Surroundings
The park is positioned directly on the banks of the Bridgeport Reservoir, offering expansive views of the Sawtooth Ridge and the surrounding Sierra Nevada peaks. Its location in Bridgeport, CA, places visitors in a high-desert landscape characterized by sagebrush and granite outcroppings. The environment is quiet and open, providing a sense of seclusion while remaining easily accessible from Highway 395. The wide-open sky makes this an exceptional spot for stargazing once the sun sets behind the mountains.
Amenities & Park Features
This facility is well-equipped to handle various camping styles, featuring full hookup RV sites alongside more traditional dry camping areas. The heart of the park is its marina, which offers boat rentals and a launch ramp for those bringing their own vessels. A well-stocked tackle shop ensures that anglers have everything they need for a successful day on the water. Additional conveniences include:
- Clean restrooms and hot showers
- On-site laundry facilities
- Pull-thru and back-in sites
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
While the reservoir is famous for its trophy trout fishing, the surrounding area is rich with historical and natural landmarks. A short drive takes visitors to the Bodie State Historic Park, a well-preserved ghost town from the gold rush era. Nature enthusiasts often visit the nearby Travertine Hot Springs for a soak with a view or head south to explore the alien landscapes of Mono Lake. The eastern gate of Yosemite National Park is also within driving distance for a scenic day trip.

This park is ideal for avid anglers and boaters who want to be steps away from the water. It also appeals to RVers seeking a peaceful base camp for exploring the Eastern Sierra without the crowds found in more developed resort areas.

Lake views from our site was great. The facilities were clean and tidy. The internet service was solid the entire week. Watching the fish jump across the flat glass lake. Tons of birds doing their thing. Including the raptors. Our truck broke down while were there. The owners went out of their way to assist us. It was truly an amazing stay all the way around. Plenty to do and see. Fishing, kayaking, boating, local ghost towns and mines to visit. We will definitely come back. And tell all of our friends and fellow RVers about our experience. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

My gf and I had a great one night stay in one of the yurts along the reservoir. It was private, peaceful and priced well. Would absolutely recommend!

The view was beautiful and the location was awesome for exploring, serving as a good base when visiting Bodie and Bridgeport. I went over Labor Day weekend, so it was a little crowded, but the lady working in the office (didn’t catch her name) upgraded me to a lakeside site and was full of suggestions on places to go and things to do. It’s a very short drive to town and they have a small store on site. I just had one tent but if you’re going as a group I suggest renting two adjacent sites. Will definitely be back!

Planning a trip to this area. I planned to stay here until I looked at their web page highlighting an ATV sporting a "Team deplorable" flag. If that is your chosen method of advertising then no thank you.

The staff were polite, and helpful. when we arrived the electricity was all over the city. It came back on with in an hour. We stayed in the RV area looking right out on the reservoir. It's very beautiful and peaceful. The only negative were the trout flies. We left on the outside light and it attracted the trout flies. I would recommend it just keep your outside lights off.
