The camp is clean and very well maintained. The majority of people staying here were in RV's. we had a couple of people staying in tents as well. The best site (if you are dry camping) are closest to the beach sand dunes since they offer the best protection from the wind and sun. this camp has flush toilets and cold water showers, however, any guest that is register here can drive 15 min south on Hgw 1 to Morro Bay State Park Campground and use their token-operated showers. another minor detail that none of the sites offer any privacy, it is basically a large parking lot with some open areas for staking the tents, wooden benches, and fire pits. no trees for shade so make sure you have awnings or portable shade available (EZ-Up), close proximity to residential area offers no feeling of camping in nature, however, access tt beach and sound of crashing waves supersedes any minor nuisances.

Besides this minor inconvenience, we still consider this one of our favorite beach camping spots.

We camped here during 4th July weekend and there was a plenty camps available. Actual campground is divided into 4 individual loops. There is a great mixture of sites that are better suited for van or tent camping and there are sites that are suited for larger rigs.
Our site was perfect for out 16’ Teardrop T@B, our TV and 2 more additional Subaru’s that we had to pay extra vehicle fee + $6.00.
Important thing to note, although this place has very well maintained vault/pit toilets there’s no running water, other than nearby Eagle Creek or Buckeye Creek. Campground is only 8 miles from town Bridgeport, and last 2.5 miles are on well maintained, graded and wide road, well sites for any car with stock ground clearance. Also climb is gradual so anyone with larger rigs will not have any problems getting to it.
Our original intent was to boon dock along the road before campground,but being that it was 4th of July weekend all of the locations were packed more tightly that campground itself. And judging by the looks of it,these locations did not offer any privacy and were loud.
Less that a 1/2 mile of a walk from our site were Buckeye Hot springs, located on the bottom of 20 ‘ deep canyon. There was plenty of parking available considering that hot springs were packed with people. Trail from parking to the horsing is steep on loos ground son come prepared with good footwear. This short hike is definitely an ankle twister. Only phone signal available was T-Mobil. Thanks to surrounding hills there is no light pollution so it is a perfect place for stars viewing. Big thank you goes to our camp host Jim, an amazingly youthful 80 year man with such a gentle soul and witty personality.
Surrounding creeks offer ample opportunity for fly fishing. Campground is a short drive from Twin Lakes that also offers several camps but little of peace and quiet or opportunity for solitude.
We will be definitely coming back to enjoy this place.

Great small campsite that was kept very clean, no hookups, pit toilets, drinking water and garbage dumpster available. No dimp station . All of the sites are placed in a very pristine setting among large granite boulders and aspen groves. Easy access from the road, and even easier access to Carson River. Hope Valley is great fly fishing spot. $18.00 per night, $6.00 for an additional vehicle.
Note that there is plenty of Boondocking camps available in the short vicinity but ther tend to be accessible vid rough Forest Service dirt roads. There are plenty of stores nearby for basic necessities.

My wife and I arrive to this camp late Friday night with intent to just spend a night and then continue exploring Eastern Sierras next day. Our plans changed upon the sunrise, although this was the weekend after 4th of July camp was moderately full and due to its unique design, it never felt crowded. We had a plenty of separation space between us and the neighbors. we stayed at this camp entire weekend relaxing along the river, swimming in numerous swim holes and fishing in the evening. There are several sites that are near the river, but they tend to get a lot of foot tragic from other camper walking along the footpath or accessing the river. almost all campsites have plenty of shade among the mature conifer trees. During the entire weekend we were there, power generator that supply the power for the water pump was out due to mechanical issues, but Camp host ensure plenty ow bottle water that they distributed to all the campers so that nobody had to leave. I was very impressed how well they addressed this crisis.
This camp is a gem in Sierras Foothills and relatively close to Stockton. Road to camp is twisty but it is manageable even for larger trailers, Grounds are well maintained and camp is beautiful and clean, hosts were friendly and helpful. Also, this camp has double and triple sites that are adjoined to each other allowing for large parties and families to have combined spaces. There is a fire pit a grill and bench at each site, no bear storage containers but according to hosts they don’t have any problems with wild life at this camp.
