Bridgeport Reservoir RV Park & Marina

The staff was so nice and accommodating! The owner was working all day making sure everyone had everything they needed. The campground is in a beautiful spot. Very Level. We were in spot #11..31ft Class A fit nicely. You can even rent a boat to cruise around on the lake and fish. The town is small and stores close early so plan accordingly with your supplies! Only one washer/dryer. Small bathrooms and showers, but clean!

We were in a pull through and had views of lake. Sites were too tight due to trees to open awning. We were off roading and there is access to trails to south pretty easily. To the north you have to shoulder ride. Their check in time is 2 pm and they WILL NOT. Let you check in one minute early. This doesn’t make for good PR. The outside caretaker was very nice.

The staff was fantastic, very informative and gave us lots to do and see. We have an A-frame trailer, easily fit in a tent sites. The tent sites, I thought were spread apart not on top of each other. The campground offers quite a bit of rentals, full hook up, no hook ups, water hook ups, tent cabins and RVs for rent! Beautiful views of the reservoir, though was not much water, not the campgrounds fault. Love that the campground provided sunshades to keep the sun off of you. Cellphone signal was fantastic, I use cricket. The wifi (included) had great signal also. It's a hidden gem. Highly recommend! Super quiet too!

The Lake is basically a marsh at this point until the mountains get a decent Winter again. The marina is bone dry. There are signs warning dig owners of toxic algae, so keep dogs away from the remaining water.

Park was of average road side RV resort quality. Our site was small and cramped but had a decent view. The dry camping spots are more spacious than the full hookup sites.

Staff was very friendly and helpful on details about exploring the area.

It was reasonably quiet the first day but on the second, there were campers with dirt bikes that began revving engines and riding around in the morning. Park seems popular for people with ATVs and bikes; so such day time noise seems likely to be a common experience.

Mid April and the RV sites near Bridgeport hadn’t opened for the season yet. This was the only place that we Found to be open for business. Just because it was our only choice, doesn’t, make it a bad choice. As a matter of Fact, it could very well have been our first choice if we had the whole gamut of local parks. Chase, the manager/owner? Was super friendly and accommodating. The siting is along the shores of a reservoir. We looked across the lake and flat valley floor beyond to snow capped mountains rising abruptly from the far edge of the valley floor. They were, along with other sitework in middle of bathroom updates. Winds were brisk and chilly with whitecaps on the lakealthough the afternoon sun kept the RV comfortable. We were cautioned to Disconnect our water hose to prevent overnight freezing. WiFi at our site was strong and reliable. T-Mobile was right up there with a solid 4 bars. We are grateful they were here. This is not a 5 star luxury resort but had everything we needed

To begin with we did not get the type of site we had reserved which was a back in fhu site. The site that they were putting us in was one of those except it had many pieces of broken jack pads filling up what looked to be a large pothole and they were large boards covering what we assumed was another large hole in the gravel site. We were not willing to drive our 22,000 lb Motorhome over who knows what. So instead we were out in a site just outside the office and very close to the boat ramp where the boaters showed up at 5am. This site only had 30 amp And water. Just a few feet outside our door was the port a potty and the parking lot where the guys that were running the place loved to zoom around in their side by side and dirt bike throwing gravel and dirt on our coach.
The travel trailer that was parked next to us was clearly abandoned and was a very junky site.
Basically the couple of sites near the office should just be parking for boat trailers and not for rv parking.
If we would have had one of the few pull through sites above we might have had a different experience. Who knows. Those sites are close together too but had the views of the lake and mountains and not the parking lot.
Also the park stated they had WiFi but we had nothing. ATT had no signal. Verizon boosted was about 3 bars.

The campground looks like a big dirt field from Google Maps next to a lake, but don’t let this fool you. They offer quite a few things here. The RV sites are mostly pull-throughs facing West toward Bridgeport Reservoir. There are quite a few tent camping spots, some facing the water and some behind the RV row. I observed some new covered camping areas, where there are large framed tents on wooden decks where they put framed beds into. Of course, it’s right next to the water. For the RV spots they offer 30/50 amp service with water and sewer. The hook-up sites are a bit larger than what I’ve been to, but still inherently close in context. The tent sites are pretty much stacked on top of each other. There is seriously access to potable water all over this park. The staff seems to be nice, but didn't interact with them much. They have a pretty decent store that have quite a few things to offer when you’re in a pinch for something. The bathrooms and showers are decent, but most importantly, available. That being said, I used my trailer's facilities. WiFi is available, but I did not use it. I was told by another visitor that it "worked", but had no real context. The little town of Bridgeport is right on the 395 with a general store, but I have not been in it to see what exactly they stock. If you really need to do some real shopping the nearest major store is a Walmart Super Center 65 miles North on the 395. It looks like they have some amenities there, but I didn't have the time to actually visit. Mobile service is good if you're a Veirzon user, but I received almost no signal on AT&T. AT&T was spotty at best despite what cellular maps say. I was able to get 2-3 bars on my Verizon hotspot and up a bar if boosted.

There are many things to like about this place. Not a very large park, so you don’t have a lot of traffic. The availability of 30 amp as well as 50 amp service is nice. The sites are of good size. Available bathrooms and showers. You’re pretty much on the waterfront with gorgeous views of the mountain range. Nestled off the East side of Sierras and the right off the 395 corridor, this high desert area has a lot of character if big open skies and the Sierra Mountains lining the horizon is your thing. If you're here for the fishing, they offer a boat ramp and boat rentals. Fishing from the shore directly at the campground is tough, because it's too shallow. You will have to go downstream toward outlet for better bank fishing. There are some trees around, but mostly around the RV pull-throughs. I bring this up, as there will be little shade in the Summer months especially for tent campers. The good thing is, you’re right by the reservoir where there may be a breeze. The beach area is sandy, but it’s full of rocks and debris, so I’d be a bit carful walking around the beach barefooted. That being said, it’s a nice beach, but not ideal as a “beach” location. The bottom is rocky, shallow, and a bit muddy from what I observed. Late Spring the winds were still blowing 20+mph winds from the reservoir. It can be blessing or a curse depending on the season. If you’re not here for the fishing, the hiking, or the location, there’s not much else. There’s no playground or beach for smaller kids to play in. The weather can be a bit unpredictable during the Spring months and I’d imagine the Fall may be the same. Pay attention and check the weather before going out.
