Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bridgeport, CA

Besides the beautiful scenic lake spot that offers fun on the lake during the day and star gazing at night it’s a well ran campground with amentities. Has lots of camping style options between RV hook up spaces and non hookup. Also has tent spots. Great restrooms and showers. Moms with babies and toddlers would appreciate the restrooms. Showers are their own private room with space and a changing table. Camping spots are roomy and come with a fire pit. Campfires are allowed. Generators in RVs have to be off at 10 pm. Pets are allowed but need to be on a leash. Grass area for kids playing or throwing the ball or frisbee. Horse shoe game area. Big lake side beach. You can set up badminton or beach volleyball. Cell service is spotty at the campsite but oddly great on the beach and at the Lake.

Lake offers boating, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, and swimming. Boat launch and fish cleaning are a good distance from camp sites. Has a cleaning station for watercraft for invasive species.

This campground has a lot to offer. Pack the sun screen and the life jackets and have fun!

We needed an overnight stay en route to the eastern Sierra and decided this spot would work. We knew we'd taking a risk for a one night stay on a Saturday without reservations but it was October 1 so what the heck. 

When we arrived there were several sites along the stunning Topaz Lake that appeared reserved for the weekend (F-Su) but were empty and a few that were open. We travel in a Class B van so typically will dry camp unless we have chore days.There were lots of sites in the primitive camping area but it was just a dirt parking lot with no shade (our propane fridge is cranky in heat so we needed shade). 

There was no staff on site. The only way to pay is via a kiosk but ONLY for day use and primitive sites. The only way to pay for the RV Hook Up sites (most without sewer at site) was via phone call (M-F) or online reservations. I had a weak Verizon signal and was able to reserve our spot for the night after a few attempts on the very funky county website. 

• If lucky enough to get a site, along the lake, you'll be rewarded with stunning views but it can get windy 
• Decent sized, level sites along the lake with lots of open space between campsite and lake
• Upgrades since past reviews must have happened recently as the bathroom floors and stalls appeared new. The central sewer dump concrete looks new as well and was working. All were were very clean. 
• Showers were working (and free) but didn't use so not sure about water temp. They were not updated but were clean. 
• This is a boaters' paradise and VERY loud during the day (and we were there off-season) Quiet at night. 

We'd probably pass on staying here again unless we were going to use the amenities (dump, showers, water refill) because it was pricey for just dry camping (unless in the primitive spots). We can do better at some  of the Forest Service campgrounds we saw along 395 for less money.

General: 27-site RV park plus eight-room motel. Restrooms and laundry facility. Pets are allowed and the WiFi signal was decent. 

Site Quality: All sites are gravel, back-in, and appeared level. A few in the rear of the park looked like they might be slightly skewed sideways. All are full hook-up, although we did not use the hookups. Our site (and several others) had nice birdhouses in the trees.

Bathhouse: Small but clean. Two stalls, one sink, and one shower. There is no additional cost to use the shower, but you are asked to keep it short to conserve water. 

Activities: Close to the turn-off to Bodie State Park and also the town of Bridgeport. There is a horseshoe pit and large campfire area which I imagine would be in use during the summers when the park is full. 

Be aware that you will hear road noise as this RV park is located on Highway 395, but it did quiet down later in the night. We normally do not stay in RV parks, but this was just an overnight for us and because there were only a few people there when we were there, our site felt more private. Becky, the owner, was very accommodating for our last-minute stay request.

This has been the best Thousand Trails campground that we have been to. Plenty of outdoor activities at the campgrounds. Hiking trails, fishing, bike rides, spots next to the river. There is no cell phone reception and the paid wifi is terrible so it is best not to purchase it.

These sites are first come, first serve which is good and bad. Doesn't fill up like some of the year round sites right by half dome and it's really not that far if you want to get some awesome views.

Good space for tents and you're semi secluded from other campers and not as many RVs/Trailers as some of the other campgrounds.

Decent access to drinking water and each site has tables and fire rings, no RV hookups (another reason you have more "campers" and it's less noisy at night).

Yosemite Lakes RV Resort was a gem of a campground. It was like we were nestled in the heart of Yosemite Valley but we were actually over an hour away from it. A taste of what Yosemite National Park has to offer, if you will. They offer the best riverfront camping spots. The tranquil waters were a pleasant surprise to our trip. We have been to Yosemite many times but have never experienced it quite like this before. I recommend Yosemite Lakes RV Resort to anyone looking to take a relaxing break from lifes hustle and bustle.

We are members of Thousand Trails so our review may be a little different than someone who is a non-member. Here's why. The majority of the campground (the nicer parts next to the river) is for members only. The smaller, tighter section is for non-members.

WiFi: Yes they have it. It is only available in the 'lounge area'. It's VERY slow. Instead I went east by 4 miles to a hotel to have a beer and connect for work.

Sites: Those by the river are packed close together and more shaded. We didn't care to be packed like sardines, so we opted for one of the middle sites. Hardly anyone was in these sites so it was quiet and spacious. No problem with full-hookups.

Events:It's a resort so they have something going on every weekend. While we were there it was a family movie and Octoberfest (beer and bratwurst for $5). Then smores by the fire with music. It was nice.

Proximity: Although it is very close to the park boundary, it is still an hour to the valley. We couldn't get a spot in the valley so we accepted this as the way it was. No biggie. There was also a bus that took you into the valley in the morning and back in the afternoon for a reasonable price.

Service: The staff was friendly and patient with all the folks that came in at 7pm begging/demanding for a site.

Overall, I would go back.

I really enjoyed tent camping here. I’m not a fan of the trailer camping because it’s all cement and everyone is close together, but it’s doable if need be. When tent camping, you’re under beautiful trees which I love!

You may as well stay close, right? Well... Whip out your wallet and empty on it on the check-in desk of this thousand trails (or whatever) park. For the price of the presidential penthouse suite at the top of the Reno Nugget, I was granted access to a dusty, undefined pad of petrified dirt on the outskirts of this RV and yurt focused campground on which to erect my elaborate two-pole tent. It was a little noisy and occupied by an effervescent mixture of post-millenial biker kids and scowling unibrow backpack bros in Arctic-ready shelters.

Here's the thing: the staff was super friendly, the store was well stocked, and where the holy everloving fuckelse was I gonna go? From tent teardown to nat'l park access was probably all of 15 minutes. Equally 100% bilked and satisfied - aka "thank you sir, may I have another!?"

This is the only high Sierra Campground that is accessible by car. Camping is half reservations, half first come first serve, but can be hard to get into. There is potable water and flushing toilets, but no showers or RV hookups. There is a small store with the basics close by, and a little grill restaurant. Due to high elevation, it gets cold at night, but its worth it. Lots of great hiking and climbing close by. An awesome place to camp!

We stayed here in early summer on a trailer camping trip through the Sierrra's, this was our 4th night on our trip and this campground was a surprise and honestly, I wish we would have booked more nights. We had a site up towards the back of the campground, but that gave us territorial views and allowed for some privacy. The campground is surrounded by wonderful mountains and there is a lake down below that was nice and refreshing. We tried our hand at fishing and also rented kayaks and paddled around for a bit.

This campground was spacious and a single campsite easily fit 3 tents for 6 people. We could have put more if we needed to, I was impressed. It was set back away from the lake and so it was quite a walk to the beach, but that didn’t bother us.

We saw lots of wildlife and even had several deer come hang out in our campsite. They are clearly comfortable with humans.

Campground has:

-flushable toilets

-running water for washing dishes

-drinking water

-RV hookups

-large bear lockers

Beautiful area to camp, still far from the actual Valley but quiet enough to make day trips. Very dry dirt, like when you step there is a puff, so 1yr old was plenty dirty right away! Facilities are just bathrooms and water station. RV hookups and tent sites. Sites are close together and all around you. There is not enough coverage for true privacy. There were hammocks all over and I wished we had one. Bear boxes are large enough to cover all your food needs. Kids enjoyed it for their first trip and we even had a dear visit our campsite!

We have stayed here a few times with no issue. The people that answer the phone are nice and helpful. We stayed at this park along our commute to Oregon.

Full Hook Ups.

Easy to get into the park and easy to get situated.

All dirty, with concrete pads for your RV or Trailer.

Not a bad spot, felt safe and headed out the next day during our commute.

Large enough sites. I have tried a year in advance for full hook ups. Only Water and Electrical again this year. As you can see, the sites are parking lot like. All asphalt. 

Some area are sparse with trees, so you will get lots of direct light in these sections. Staff was pretty accommodating. Will be returning this August.

Do yourself a favor and if available get the full hook up sites! They are in the middle of the trees with great space and access to everything. The bathrooms were amazing and clean. The pool and spa is indoors and well laid out. This is now one of our favorite spots

This is a beautiful campground with nice large sites. The bathrooms and trash were maintained regularly. There was no water at the campground when we were there (it seems like it might be a long term issue) - we were warned about this in advance so it wasn’t much trouble.

The lake is walkable but the path is very steep and there aren’t many places to sit. We ended up driving 5mins to the boat launch and hung out near there instead.

There is nothing else for miles around so come prepared with all your food and essentials. It’s a long long drive if you forget something.
