Well kept rustic sites, good bath and shower facilities! Great views and great fishing. A small family run resort that makes it feel like home. Large RV will fit in some spots.
Legend
This location is so convenient and easy! Pull through sites that can fit any Rv. Everyone at the front desk was kind and very responsive. The operations manager was so kind as to pick up and deliver our empty propane tanks upon our arrival! Views of the Walker over from the walking trail were perfect. Kids welcome, two nice playgrounds and a pickleball court that they provided rackets for. Each site also has a small grass area. Would definitely come back!!
Scout
This was our first time at a KOA and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We stayed for one night. (Tent Camping) The staff was friendly and helpful and all of the sites and communal areas were clean. The tent sites were a tad smaller than what we imagined, but was able to situate our 10x10 canopy and connecting tent between the hook ups and picnic table. The views are beautiful and it is mostly quiet but you can hear the road at times.
Guide
We have been camping here for 25+ years. Beautiful location, the campsites are well placed, and very large. Tons of amenities; general store/market (literally has everything you would need), boat/tackle shop (fishing gear, boat rentals, items for your tent, trailer, and RV), diner (breakfast, lunch and dinner, even has a bar), campground activities, large beach on the lake, easy access to the stream that runs through the entire campground and a meadow in the middle of the campground that has stunning views at sunrise, sunset, and at night; especially when there’s no moon.  All the facilities are well-maintained, and very clean. We have always had, for the most part, a great time, overall during our stay. That said, in full disclosure, the last time we camped there, we did have some issues related to the gray/black water, clean out and fresh water refill. The technician who performed this task, perhaps he was not very experienced, ended up breaking the fresh water plumbing under the trailer causing it to leak badly. With the pontoon rental, they improperly accused us of breaking “the rules” and kept our deposit despite our clear and undeniable explanation of the truth. In both circumstances, we had never come across the issues that we had. It was very unfortunate, because we had a new family up there camping with us who is really into camping, and it just soured them on this location. Fortunately, for us most of our history camping there has been exceptional and full of great memories. I would highly recommend camping at this location.
Scout
Great camp hosts. They have some kayaks available for the guests first
ScoutWe have so much fun at Walker River!!
Side by sides, quads, dogs, miles and miles of trails and a ghost town we still haven’t found lol
ScoutWe arrived late to the KOA and attempted to follow the late night registration. Nowhere does it say that late night registration will result in them threatening to call the cops on us. There wasn’t any envelopes. I’ve had that happen many times to me at state and national parks. Never had I had it result in harassment and threats. I’ve always had park rangers catch you on the way out or leave an envelope under the windshield wiper. However this is a KOA and a private campground and are allowed to treat customers horribly, which they did. They started banging on our camper at 3 AM woke up my baby. Threatened to cal the cops for trespassing. When I offered to pay for the site they threatened to charge more and more money if I wasn’t able to pay cash. I was never given a receipt. I was treated like a criminal. When I called them during their office hours that states that it was common courtesy not to arrive after 9. This RV park is along highway 395 so it seems bizarre not to accommodate travelers. They also woke up the campers next to us at 3 am for a similar infraction but state that aside from me this has “never happened”. Save yourself the harassment and threats and a good night sleep and just drive past Coleville KOA.
ScoutWe were here in June 2020. The park was clean and comfortable. We were able to explore Bridgeport, Virginia City, and Tahoe for day trips from this location. We had passes to get into Yosemite but could not go in due to a road closure of the 395. We’d definitely stay here again.
Traveler
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.
GuideWe went camping 2 times during summer 2022 lots of shade great weather creek closed to camp area parking feet away from tent lots of private sites an apart from each other
GuideThis campground is close to a small town, many lakes, hiking, biking, atv trails etc. the campground offers clean bathrooms, laundry, open kitchen and fire pit, free kayaks and SUP boards to use. Beautiful grounds. Full hook ups, great tent sites, and rentals. Great staff. Wood, charcoal, ice, and propane for sale on sight.
Guide
Wow amazing campsite. RV spot in their wagon wheel parking was alot better than I was expecting. Full hookups, quiet neighbors. Laundromat real close and twin lakes even closer. Great fishing, views & lots of deer, must return!
RangerGreat campground on Bridgeport Lake. RV sites are graveled and level, clean bathrooms/showers/laundry. Community fire pit, free use of SUPs and/or kayaks, open-air kitchen, dog area and no road noise. Hosts Elizabeth, Frankie and Amanda are Awesome. Lots to see and do in this beautiful area.
TravelerWe stays at the Coleville/Walker Meadowcreek KOA as a base camp during a recent trip to Mono County. We had driven by the campgrounds for years and didn't think to must about it. Well, this facility is really excellent! The hosts and staff are some of the finest folks we have ever met. Being along US 395 it does get truck and traffic noise on the two-lane highway, but with all of the amenities and access to tons of local activities the road noise was more than bearable. Clean and fresh, I mean a really upscale KOA. And they are still improving on what their have done. It's no wonder that it is on the KOA President's list of top locations in the Country. And you ask, will we visit again, you bet we will!!

We stopped here to eat dinner and since the sign said campground, of course, I inquired further. Not really a campground but what the owners called an outdoor experience.
There are two covered wagons but since they were both occupied, we could not see inside of them. They have a double bed (linens provided for an extra cost) and no heat. There is also a five-room motel and 12 cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and some without.
The bathhouse was small but clean. The trout project was interesting (Started in 2006 to improve Bridgeport area fisheries. The family that owns the Settlement continues to hatch and raise trout specifically to plant in Virginia Creek as a thank you to the anglers that support them. It is a non-profit that is supported by people eating in their restaurant and staying on their property). There is corn-hole, a horseshoe pit, and a fish cleaning station on-site as well as a Tesla charging station!
The settlement is located directly on Virginia Creek on Highway 395. We’ve stayed in a variety of accommodations but never a covered wagon – it would definitely be a unique stay but would have to be when it is warmer!
ScoutWe camp here regularly from spring to mid fall. Famous for its black and forest service atv/utv trails. Pool hot tub bar laundry. At&t and Verizon work well. T-mobile does not. Wifi is sketchy no over the air TV.
ScoutAmazing camping sight. Great amenities. Wish the water level was higher.
GuideI went when everything was closed except this place, so it was crazy crowded. Sites are not well marked, you kinda just make up your own area by the numbers on the trees.
ScoutAbsolute worst experience ever! Nice lake, but there are other and better places to stay nearby, so skip Annett's if you want to avoid unnecessary aggravation. We paid for two nights with full hookups only to discover that the electric at our site did not work due to faulty ground wire connection. Another RVer said electrical issues are an ongoing problem (circuit breakers tripping, etc.) An employee said the electrical issue would be fixed, but nobody showed up the first night (we were told their "electrician" was unavailable, so it would have to wait until the morning.) A general "maintenance" man showed up the next morning and spent a few hours trying to fix the wiring, but didn't know how, so he gave up. We asked for a refund, but were refused. They have a "no refunds" policy. They would not even compromise and reduce the fee to the non-hookup rate (we had not used electrical, water, or sewer), so we left. Later, tried to contact the owners of the park (Norm and Kellie Annett) by phone to seek an explanation and refund, but received no return call. Credit card company sought a partial refund (we were willing to pay the no-hook-up rate for the first night, but sought a full refund for the second (unstayed) night. Owners refused, falsely claiming that "all services were provided." No electrical outlet in women's restroom (it was taped over.) Campground layout is an absolute maze with hard to locate and cramped sites, particularly if you want a tent site. They don't accept reservations, but their "regulars" (who are there to spend the season fishing, not camping) somehow get their sites every year. Save yourself some heartache and money and choose a campground up the road, particularly the forest service campgrounds. You will be glad you did.
GuideWe 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.
ScoutCampground was empty weekdays, then packed for the weekend. Lots to do even if you don’t have an OHV. Free Shooting range, Five Stand skeet/trap shooting, River access for fishing and swimming, golfing in the tumbleweeds, horseshoe pits, access from campground to OHV trails. The bar and swimming pool were closed during the week, but opened on weekends due to the pandemic. Dog friendly. Staff available by phone and very responsive to questions and requests. Can’t wait to return during normal times for the full experience, but overall a peaceful and relaxing trip. Grounds were clean and well kept. An oasis in the middle of nowhere!
GuideThis is a top of line KOA!! Scott and Tim have this campground and it’s lodging in tip too shape. Super clean, great grounds and that have daily upkeep. We stayed for 5 days and everyday someone was doing something. Even mowing the lawn while enjoying a cigar. Every night they walked through the grounds to see how everyone was while drinking a glass of wine. Also, we screwed up our reservations and they immediately saved us and we’re able to accommodate an extra day. It’s a bit far from the Yosemite entrance but so worth it! Also, it’s really close to Tahoe, and other great places like Bristlecone Forest. Great location! Love this place!!! One last thing…they will deliver items from their store to your campsite!!!!
ScoutOur stay at Paradise Shores couldn't have been better. We first heard about Paradise Shores from some new friends and their recommendation didn't disappointed.
When we arrived a small storm was just coming in and when we woke up we had about 3" of fresh snow and were in a winter wonderland next to Bridgeport Reservoir. By the afternoon the snow was gone the sun came out and the wild flowers we visible.
We spent our second evening around the community campfire and enjoyed some time with all our new friends and the owners of Paradise Shores.
We would highly recommend a stay here as the owners are very hospitable and accommodating. Can't wait to come back again.
GuideThis was one of the best stays we have had in a while. It was a perfect break from some of the more rustic sites. The customer service was top-notch, the facility was clean and peaceful, and there was reception and WiFi. For someone with T-Mobile, I got between 1 and 2 bars.
I would also like to point out that the bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest we have seen so far. A+ stay!
GuideRight at the base of the Alps. Walking distance to the lake and a site with water, bathrooms and fire rings. Showers are across the street. We love this area! It's a little pricey, but worth it ($24 a night)
GuideA great jumping off point for the region. Inexpensive with toilets and showers right up the road at the private campground.
Scoutwill update review when we check out. just checked in and amazed by the pride of ownership here. cleanest spot we have ever been at.
