Willow Springs Resort is located five miles south of Bridgeport, California, in the heart of the Eastern Sierra premiere outdoor recreational region. Although you’re sure to unplug with all there is to do around here, our guests have access to some of the best Wi-Fi in the area. The facility is a small 50’s era motel and RV park with all the amenities one normally expects. We are a pet-friendly facility. We love pets and welcome them in our RV park but not in our motel rooms (with the exception of service animals).

The fish at the left was caught in Virginia Creek, which is just across the highway from Willow Springs! There are a host of activities to enjoy in the "big backyard" of this Sierra Nevada paradise. Whether you enjoy fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, swimming, or 4-wheeling, or want to take a photo class or tour of Bodie Ghost Town, the area offers it all.

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.

We're a family owned RV Park & Campground located on the shores of Bridgeport Reservoir. Together with our crew, we're excited to welcome you into our newly adopted home. We believe in campfires, starry nights, good laughs, exploration, a deep sleep and an early rise. The mountains are a place to get back to basics, a place to explore, to breathe. So turn off your phone and turn on your senses. It’s important to us that our guests don’t feel they are renting a tent/RV site or a camper as much as they’re immersing themselves into the outdoor experience. You may just want to sit outside and read for days, enjoy campfires and eat s'mores. For more adventurous, there's a full slate of self-guided recreational activities, such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, ATVing, rock climbing, biking, natural water slides, stand up paddle boards, bird watching, available in the area. We do have modern conveniences such as wifi internet; however, we encourage our guests to “unplug” and immerse in the slow paced life instead. At Paradise Shores, we believe in protecting people, animals and the planet. We make sure that the majority of products we use at our camp is recycled, composted, or re-used. We prefer to use products that are produced in a sustainable way and avoid those that aren't. We are continuously reducing the amount of waste we generate and actively promote recycling of aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard. We pack our own recycling and haul it to the nearest recycling facility which is an hour away. We co-opt the drive with other activities to reduce waste. We don’t use individually packaged toiletries or one-use products. We use plant and planet friendly detergent. We're based in a desert. We share our precious water with the entire planet. With only 326 million cubic miles of water on the earth, the decreasing amounts of access to quality fresh water is alarming to us. We monitor how we use water in our day-to-day activities and are constantly working on ways to reduce our consumption of fresh-water resources. We hope you can help us maintain this greener camping! We hope Paradise Shores Camp becomes your home as it is ours. It’s located in one of the most spectacular areas in the world. We’re surrounded on three sides by the high Sierra Nevada Mountains. Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Meadows, Mono Lake, June Lake, Virginia Lakes, and Twin Lakes, as well as the historic gold-mining town of Bodie, CA are all within a short drive from our place. We're proud to know this area intimately and are excited to share the secret spots with you. The excellent hiking/running trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, thousands of miles of ATV, dirt bike and mountain bike trails are accessible right from our camp or within a short drive from here. The surrounding terrain offers endless activities and unbelievable scenery in remote wilderness settings. Pet Policy All our RV & Tent sites are pet friendly and we allow up to two dogs per reservation for a small fee. We can also accommodate up to two four-legged campers in our pet-friendly Baja or Tatra trailers for a small fee, we ask that they stay off the furniture (beds, sofas etc.) and are not left in the rental unattended. We love dogs, but sadly won’t be able to accommodate heavily shedding pets that aren’t house trained. Additionally, our insurance will not allow "aggressive breeds" that include any mix of: Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, German Sheppard. Please pick up after your pup and use a leash when at the camp. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help in keeping our camp a mellow and enjoyable place for everyone.

Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can pitch your tent with a view. You can enjoy the feeling of rural seclusion while within walking distance (~1 mile) from shops and restaurants in Oakhurst. The South Gate to Yosemite National Park is less than a 30-minute drive (~75 minutes drive-time to the Valley floor), and Bass Lake's shores are only 15 minutes away. Local wildlife is abundant. Wild turkeys are a common sighting, especially in the spring and fall, as are squirrels, bears, deer, coyotes, and bobcats, plus all kinds of native birds (hawks, quail, jays, woodpeckers, ravens, vultures, and eagles). We have a small homestead-style farm and so do the neighbors, so you can hear the distant sounds of chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows. Because the safety of our animals (and yours) is paramount, we do not allow pets off-leash. Whether you want to stay put and enjoy the natural setting or have a base from which to explore world-class attractions, we would love to host your next vacation.

I’m a mom of three running a small homestead complete with a garden, a dog, a cat, a flock of chickens, a quail, and a handful of guinea pigs. The homestead sits along the river in the foothills above Mariposa with five acres of land to wander, seasonal swimming holes, and plenty of wildlife and plant life to take in along the way. River is swimmable until about mid-July. Then starts flowing again in late September. I'm a musician, and I love sharing my instruments, so don't be shy about asking to borrow one. We're always happy to share a meal, let the kids run around together, or just sit and feed the animals for a while. But if you're here for peace and quiet, that's just as welcome. This is a place for whatever you need. Every dollar from your booking goes directly back into the property - animal feed, tending to the land, and the community projects we're always dreaming up. So thank you, genuinely, for being part of that. Dogs always welcome. 🐾 Inquire of you are looking for a van spot, we may be able accommodate!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this campground. It has everything you need, including propane refills, which was very convenient. The friendly orange cat at the reception was definitely a highlight! The only downside was that some guests didn’t follow the campground rules and kept their generators running past quiet hours, but fortunately we were able to resolve the situation. There were also quite a few mosquitoes this time of year, so bringing bug spray is a good idea. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again.

We travel full time and we are based in St Pete Florida. This was one of our most favorite campgrounds we’ve been to in the last year. The hosts are so super sweet. We love the renovated campers, the shared outdoor kitchen, the access to the reservoir, the view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the close proximity to the little town of Bridgeport and the fun relaxed vibe. They have lightening in a bottle and I wish we weren’t so far away to be able to visit again. But if we come out west we will be there again in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor and book a week here to unwind, relax and enjoy the perfect oasis that is Paradise Shores!!

The sunrise, sky and moon views are magnificent. We could hear some wildlife and some farm life (animals and feral farm children), but the spot felt totally secluded and private, thanks to the shady oak trees (the camp spot is exposed, flat enough tent space on dirt and stunning exposed granite). A lovely bouldery creek cooled us off and was icing on the cake. Amazing. We didn't need the host for anything once we got there, but Caley was responsive and helpful to our questions ahead of time. I'll definitely be back to use this launchpad to Yosemite, Merced River and quirky town of Mariposa.

It was a pretty site. I think the 4x4 only exclamation is way over exaggerated, but I understand the concern for wanting to keep your back covered. It’s basically a hill with two turns. The place is clean and even has a beautiful view. If it gets crowded I could see it being a bit annoying just cause the sites were close to one another.

Great stay! It exceeded our expectations and was just a quite 25 min drive to the Yosemite south entrance. We checked in after the office closed and everything was clearly outlined what to do and where to go, making it very easy. WiFi works all over the camp, kitchen clean, and all bathroom/showers clean.

Pitch your tent on one of our spacious tent sites, each equipped with water and electricity for your convenience. You're just a short stroll from our refreshing pool, and the action of both the Adult Clubhouse and the Kids/Teen Clubhouse. Plus, a private trail entrance right by your site leads directly to the stunning shores of Bass Lake. With all this at your fingertips, your perfect outdoor adventure awaits!

Details:
- 1 tent per site.
- Maximum 6 guests per site.
- Water & electricity hookups available.

We stayed at Campsite 117 and absolutely loved it. It’s tucked away in a quiet back area, making it feel peaceful and private. It’s also conveniently close to the path leading down to the water, which made it easy to enjoy the scenery. During our stay, we were lucky enough to see some wildlife—a small bear running behind the fence and even a fox, which made the experience even more memorable. The campground host was friendly and welcoming, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Overall, Campsite 117 was the perfect combination of tranquility, nature, and convenience. We would definitely stay here again!

Sam was a great host, offered food suggestions. I loved the RV set up, plenty of room between stations to have privacy. Rolled through with my dogs, son and husband. We enjoyed our stay, the View of the stars and food nearby.

Willow Springs was very good for camping with our dogs. Plenty of space between sites . And lots of areas and paths for good dog walks in the mornings and evenings. The moon over the pond was a pure bonus.

Need to get away and recharge, this is the place. The private outdoor hot shower did it for us - certainly a nice touch that is hard to come by. If it's available, BOOK IT!

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Southgate Campground *OYBC

Camping here was awesome, full of adventures and wildlife. Stayed here with my Wife and 2 kids we drove up in our Subaru Outback made it up no problem. Remember no water at the sites so come prepared. First day we saw deer, and many beautiful birds singing all day. Site 1 has plenty of room but lacks shade compared to the other sites, they did have a sun sail up but you have to adjust with the sun, it wasnt not a big deal for us since we brought a canopy aswell. That being said Site 1 sits on top of the hill gives you amazing sunsets and some really serenity. Within our stay we hit up bass lake and yosemite. Bass lake was only 10mins away, yosemite south gates was only 15-20mins. We will definitely becoming back.

Obsidian Dome camping guide

Overview

About

A rare geological formation, Obsidian Dome was formed as magma encountered water as it was making its way to the surface. The result was an explosion of obsidian boulders that showered the surrounding area and left a mountain where it would have left a crater. Rising 400 feet above the valley floor, Obsidian Dome is a very challenging climb but the hiking trail around the base is well worth the visit.

When to go

The best time to visit Obsidian Dome is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the trails are clear and the weather is pleasant for hiking. Winter can bring snow, making access challenging, so it's less ideal for those looking to explore the area's natural beauty.

Know before you go

Wear sturdy hiking boots for navigating the rocky terrain around the dome.
Check weather conditions before your visit, as the area can experience sudden changes.
Bring plenty of water and sun protection, as shade is limited amid the volcanic landscape.
Be mindful of the natural environment and adhere to Leave No Trace principles.
Photography enthusiasts should bring their cameras to capture the unique geological formations.
