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.

Unexpected Comfort & Stunning Views

My husband, brother-in-law & I visited Chase and the campground while passing through the area. Booking was easy, Chase was very prompt to respond. When we arrived, it was very windy out, something that we were not well prepared for (we brought a tent). The canvas tents were already closed for the season, but Chase was kind and let us put our air mattresses in the canvas tent so we didn't blow away in the middle of the night! The shower was nice and hot and all amenities were clean. We woke up in the morning to a gorgeous snow storm coming in over the mountains and had a small campfire on the beach before heading out. If we're ever back in the area, we will most definitely come back to this campground! Can't recommend it enough.

Wonderful

Beautiful area, especially at sunset. The star-filled night sky is amazing because there’s no light pollution. The store had all the essentials and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Despite the camp sites being somewhat close together, no one bothered us. Firewood delivered. They’ve planted lots of trees which will provide lots of shade and privacy in the years to come. We can’t wait to come back and will stay longer next time for sure!
