Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground

18 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground in Bridgeport, CA, offers 18 RV sites and 7 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come in four categories — pull-thru, premium pull-thru, water-and-electric back-in, and water-only back-in bluff sites. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table; the bluff sites trade hookups for the view. At 80 feet the pull-thrus take the longest coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and both RV and boat storage cover everything. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The marina is the anchor: boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, and fishing guides, plus a beach, a community fire pit, and walking trails, with fishing, boating, paddling, paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and birding. The campground sits on Highway 182 near Bridgeport in Mono County's high eastern Sierra country, with the Sawtooth Range across the valley. Turn off Highway 395 onto 182 toward Yerington and it's on the left. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Trout season on the reservoir is the busiest stretch.

Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management.

A marina with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat and kayak rentals, a fishing pier, a beach, a recreation center, and walking trails fill the property, with boating, fishing, swimming, paddle boats, water sports, kayaking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and planned activities.

Mi-Wuk Village sits directly on Highway 108 in Tuolumne County, in the canyon country of the upper Stanislaus River drainage — one of the most beautiful and most underappreciated mountain landscapes in California. The Highway 108 and Highway 49 corridors make this a practical base for Twain Harte, Sonora, Jamestown, and Columbia. Summer and ski season both draw — reserve ahead.
