About
National Forest
Buckeye Campground provides a quiet camping experience. The campground is on Buckeye Creek and is shaded by Jeffrey and Lodgepole pines. Hiking along Buckeye Creek into the nearby Hoover Wilderness. Hiking on Eagle Creek to the flanks of Eagle Mountain. Buckeye hot spring (140 degrees F) is just east of the campground. The spring comes out above the creek, over a rock overhang, which creates a cave-like area in the pool. Another small spring is upstream. This is a very popular spring year round. Fishing in Buckeye Creek offers different kind of fishing experience to get away from crowds. Trails are nearby to Yosemite. Nearest lakes are four miles from campground. Generally open in late May to late September, weather and condition permitting. ***NO drinkable water available.

Weekend at buckeye
This is a very nice well kept campground right outside of Bridgeport California. The camp host this season was really pleasant as well. Lots of great hiking opportunities and many beautiful views to enjoy. Additionally there is a well maintained dirt road that you must take to reach buckeye. Minimum 2 miles from twin lakes road. I am not sure how accessible it would be during winter without 4x4.

Clean hot springs
We have a 42’ rig so we decided to dry camp down in the valley and just drive up the dirt road every day to hot springs. Lots of choices toward top but probably under 28’. Cell service was very poor if it all at times. Hot springs are great but often crowded. Early morning - late evening- midday- always people. But they are large enough to accommodate and there is more than one. Washboard road going up so take it slow. Wildlife is abundant.
Great spot
We went on a Saturday in June, there were plenty of campsites available. Camp host sells fire wood bundles, keeps the grounds and restrooms clean. We chose campsite 63 it was next to a stream. It’s a short drive over to buckeye hot spring or a long walk. Only $18 for the night.
