"It was 90 degrees F when we arrived on September 16th around 4:30 pm and around 6 pm the breeze started to pick up so it was very comfortable."
"This is our second stay at this campground by the lake. The sites are pretty level and can accommodate a larger rig."
$4 - $22 / night
"There are two areas to camp at, one up higher and the other lower, walking distance from the lake. I've stayed at both."
"Vault toilets, trash container, covered picnic tables and nice view of Walker Lake. As per other reviews, there are three levels at this campground."
"The dispersed camp sites usually have a rock fire pit but you are supposed to get a burn permit to use them and check current fire conditions as they do ban burning during high fire danger years."
"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’."
$16 / night
"Three major accidents put us way behind schedule on our way to find a site at Yosemite, Tioga Pass, and June Lake. Fortunately, I still prefer guidebooks and was able to find this site."
"Almost all of the sites on this campground are secluded from one another due to the density of the trees. There are bear boxes, a picnic, and a fire pit for each camp site."
$30 - $40 / night

"Clean, nice tables and fire pits. Great place to hang out before or after Yosemite."
"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."

"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. "
"Beautiful location, the campsites are well placed, and very large."
"The spots are nice, the scenery is amazing and most campsites are just a walk to the lake. The dogs love it too. Beware of bears. We were able to fit 4 tents and a motorhome in our last spot."
LegendWe 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!
ScoutI've stopped at this campground twice and have very few complaints! There are two areas to camp at, one up higher and the other lower, walking distance from the lake. I've stayed at both.
Both locations have plenty of spaces, complete with a fire pit and covered area containing a picnic table. There is a bathroom at both, although the upper lot bathroom was locked when I was there the first time.
The campground is right off the main road so you do hear road noise (and if at the upper site can definitely see lights from vehicles). The noise at the lower site is much lower.
Down near the lake it was definitely windier and a bit colder than the upper sites.
I saw no signage about camping fees both times I've stopped.
GuideLots of spaces here with picnic tables and hard top awnings to give you some shade. Stopped here on a Tuesday for an overnight and it was very smoky due to the fires in Cali but there was a nice breeze and we still enjoyed the little bit of Mountain View that you could see from the sites. It was 90 degrees F when we arrived on September 16th around 4:30 pm and around 6 pm the breeze started to pick up so it was very comfortable. There is a fee station but there were no envelopes, no way to pay so I think normally it is 6$ but we couldn’t figure out how to pay. We’d definitely return here when the smoke dissipates. Several pull thru sites. We have a 26 foot tr with a Ford F-150. Gravel road, picnic tables and fire pits available. Some restrooms were closed. Sites are gravel and dirt so you will likely need to level.
ScoutGreat campsite,its first come first serve. more relaxed and looser rules than most places I've been. Access to the tioga pass and about an hour and a half drive to Yosemite valley with no traffic. Many creeks and lakes near by. The one down side is that there is no running water. If need be access to the town is super easy and there a a gas station located near by. thebfishing in near by lakes is awesome was well. For sure making another trip in the near future
ScoutThree major accidents put us way behind schedule on our way to find a site at Yosemite, Tioga Pass, and June Lake. Fortunately, I still prefer guidebooks and was able to find this site. Apparently it's not a well publicized spot because it's run by Mono County and not NPS or CSP. But the location is great: close to Mono Lake, Bodie, and away from the crowds at Yosemite. You have the sound of running water from the creek and Lundy Lake is nearby.
The weather is also perfect. On an August day, it never got hotter than 75 degrees during the day and the coldest it got was 26 degrees at night. If you need supplies, there is a resort further down with a very small mercantile, but it closes early. Your closest store is Mono Market in Lee Vining. Bring water or a filtration system because there is only a non-potable water spigot.
TravelerAlmost all of the sites on this campground are secluded from one another due to the density of the trees. There are bear boxes, a picnic, and a fire pit for each camp site.
ScoutDrinking water available. On site toilets. Nearby shower facility ($3/5min of run time) Nearby laundry facility. Close to Twin Lakes (~5-10min drive). No cellular service for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon
GuideThis is our second stay at this campground by the lake. The sites are pretty level and can accommodate a larger rig. Be sure to go all the way to the end to find the RV sites with covered picnic tables and fire rings. The terraced views of the lake are beautiful. You can walk down to the water but know the lake is farther out than it looks. Vault toilets and dumpster on site. Town of Hawthorne is about 10 miles away with all necessities. If this park is full, you can try Tamarack and 20 mile beach but they’re not as nice.
GuideStayed here on a drive through the area. Only ones here aside from one other camper. Beautiful spot with plenty of spacious spots. Pit toilets- no running water. Water and Mtns were beautiful
