Bridgeport Reservoir is a lake at the lower end of Bridgeport Valley in Mono County, California. Its earth-filled dam was constructed in 1923 by the Walker River Irrigation District, along the East Walker River. The campground and marina was built I-don't-know-how-long ago, but it sure is nice!
About Us: Welcome to Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground. Join us for the classic camping and fishing experience with unique views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Within the Toiyabe National Forest, Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground is conveniently located near two distinct hot spring areas. A true angler's paradise, the Reservoir has excellent trout fishing from spring through fall and is close by to multiple rivers for incredible fly fishing. A 35 minute drive on highway 120 will take you to the Tioga Pass Gate of Yosemite National Park. This gate is a great start to several different areas inside of the park that you may want to visit beyond that gate. Off-road enthusiasts would not have enough time in one visit to explore all of the 4x4 trails, abandoned mines, and sites in the area as well as the famous trail that brings you right to the Bodie Ghost Town.
Climate and Ecosystem: At 6,400 feet (1,950 meters), this high desert climate has little to moderate tree coverage and gets hot during the days and cool at night. The conditions are much like Joshua Tree National Park or Alabama Hills camping area. During your visit, you will notice many flying insects that resemble mosquitos. These Chironomid are harmless and do not bite. On the contrary, the mosquito presence is very minimal.
Swimming in the lake is possible usually between April to July.

This place is super cute! Perfect for two people and our dog. I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was. The state park is really close and fun to hike around, dogs have to hike the fire trails but that was ok with us. There was great communication from the host who also replied timely. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a nice weekend stay. The cabin is nice and stocked with towels, dishes, and cookware.
There was a leak so we could not use the jacuzzi tub. We went to the White Pines Lake which was fun.
The area is beautiful. Carlos was very responsive and helped with any issues we had.

family of 5 - 2 kids and 3 adults. the accommodations were beautiful!! plenty of space for everyone. the grill made cooking easy & quick clean up. the French press coffee was good and strong. we had zero mechanical/property issues during our stay. Any issues we did have (needed trash bags, potty issues etc) were handled IMMEDIATELY. Sarah was super quick/responsive to texts. the family is so kind, the animals are amazing. be aware that in town there is one gas station (no pay at the pump lol) and one grocery store, prepare your kids that there is no McDonald's close 😝 however, the grocery store (Senders) is amazing. plan for one lunch at the deli counter! the sandwiches were HUGE and cheap! since we chose to go in the dead of summer, the grass wasn't green. my kids wanted to explore the property in front of the dome but there was too many stickers. it got VERY hot in the dome during the later afternoon hours. but the outside weather was GORGEOUS! there is a swamp cooler in the dome but I suggest plan your outings around the heat of the day, enjoy the patio or pool, or take a bath in the outdoor tub with cool water! we went to CA Caverns & New Melones Lake - kiddo caught a huge fish!! we will definitely be back and recommend the geodome!

I absolutely loved staying in the treehouse geodome. The location was easy to find, especially with Joshua's great directions. The host met us apon arrival and gave us a tour. He even gave us some great suggestions of places to explore in the area which we checked out and enjoyed. The hosts were so friendly and responsive. The geodome is on the lower portion of their property but it felt like our own private space. It was all the fun of camping with the conveniences and coziness of home. My kids and I really enjoyed our two night stay and didn't want to leave. It's great doace for families, friends, or a romantic getaway. I highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Treehouse Geodome In The Sierras
Ok we really enjoyed our time here! I’d say this is definitely glamping vibe we were tryna find. Solid balance between comfort and nature as there was running water and electricity. It was clear that a lot of care and thought had been put into the design. We kept noticing small things that just added to the overall comfort and charm.
The bed was super comfortable, and the heated blanket was a lifesaver during our winter stay! There were also little touches like tea and coffee :)
There was also a cat that would come around while we were outside and he loved to cuddle lol.
The host was so kind and accommodating! He gave us a quick tour when we got there to show us how everything worked and made himself easily reachable in case we needed anything. He also knew all the good spots to visit and gave us solid recommendations for hiking and what to see.
We had a great stay. We’d recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing glamping experience!
