Overview
Overview
The Crags Campground, situated within the vast Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest near Bridgeport, California, offers a quintessential high-altitude escape for those looking to disconnect. This rustic site is managed by the US Forest Service and provides a tranquil atmosphere defined by towering pine trees and dramatic rocky outcrops. It serves as a quiet retreat for RVers who prefer natural, scenic beauty over the high-density amenities of commercial resorts.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned just off Highway 395, this campground is a gateway to the Eastern Sierra landscape. The site is nestled in a canyon setting that feels tucked away from the main road while remaining accessible. You will find yourself surrounded by dramatic granite peaks and alpine forest, creating an immersive wilderness experience. The elevation contributes to crisp, fresh air and cool mountain evenings, making it a perfect spot for travelers seeking a true mountain getaway.
Amenities & Park Features
This is a primitive camping experience, so guests should arrive fully self-contained. The park features vault toilets and basic picnic tables at each site, keeping the environment focused on the surrounding nature. While there are no utility hookups, the sites are generally spacious enough to accommodate smaller RVs and camper vans. It is a fantastic location for those who appreciate off-grid living and the simplicity of dispersed-style forest camping in a designated area.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The area surrounding Bridgeport is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the nearby Travertine Hot Springs for a relaxing soak after a day of driving. The region also offers excellent opportunities for fishing in local creeks, hiking through rugged mountain trails, or visiting the historic ghost town of Bodie.

Who This Park Is Best For

Nice place, beautiful, clean, flush toilets, quiet.
Tony Kiriluk
Not many sites have shade; but lots of nice flat camping pads, very clean and well maintained. Very quiet with great night time views. Very close to the Twin Lakes without the crowded conditions and uneven site pads of theLower Twin Lakes campground
Monique Inshaw
Not much shade on any campsites but the creek was fun and refreshing. We used this as basecamp to visit Bodie and it was only a 45 minute drive.
Michael Heil
Beautiful RV campsite below rugged mountains and Lower Twin Lakes. Less trees than the campsite next to the river, but No bugs. RV sites have no hookups, no shower's at the site, however coin shower's are 4 minutes away. Twin Lakes Resort has boats and a great general store nearby. Water was only 7' below normal, fishing only. Upper lake was full.

Very nice campground with shade near a creek. The bathrooms are the best! They were always clean, indoor with flushing toilets, a sink, and lights that turn on automatically.
