Anthony Dower
Nice campground with beautiful views and clean restrooms. Very close to Twin Lakes.

This was one of the campgrounds that I stayed at over the last two months. The camp host is friendly and added to the great location. During my visit, we did have a black bear as a special guest one night trying to find food.

There are some trees and adequate shade.If you have a spot by the river it's fabulous. Compared to all the other campgrounds between Bridgeport and Mono village North and South Robinson Creek are probably the best. Very small spaces, nicely maintained restrooms, water available ,easy drive into town or to Twin Lakes. Unfortunately no trails out of this campground.

Nice campground close to Twin Lakes, with a good amount of tree coverage, our site #13 did not have trees. That is how we got a campsite, as the campground was full. Bathrooms were clean, there was even a solar-powered motion light for nighttime usage. We camped on July 14th, the weather was hot and the lake was wonderful to kayak in.

We stayed 2 nights here. It is a popular CG. There are some camp sights along the creek. Most all sights have some tree coverage. The CG roads have HUGE expansion cracks which serve as speed bumps and earthquake simulators for the trailers. Cost is $28.00 night. Will close for season 10/8/2023. In September many trailers with generators. Quiet hours are 10 pm - 8 am. CG had two hosts and is generally clean. Potable water, newer vault restrooms, no showers or dump stations. Bear lockers for food storage. Good base camp for many outings.
