Within Toiyabe National Forest, Robinson Creek South provides a forested campground where Robinson Creek flows directly through the camping area. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in facility with sites accommodating RVs up to 40 feet, though access roads can be rough. Water spigots appear every few campsites, with clean pit toilets on the North loop and flush toilets on the South loop.
Campers fish for trout in the creek and may encounter deer that show little fear of humans. The campground operates from May through October with reservations available, though pets are not permitted. Firewood sells for $7 per bundle through the camp host. For those exploring the eastern Sierra region, campgrounds just outside Bridgeport offer additional options for overnight stays.
