Bodie State Historic Park

Great base camping on upper twin lakes Annettes Mono Village in Bridgeport Ca. Less than 20 mile to Bodie State Park.

+1 for twin lakes...

Campgrounds near Bridgeport and Bodie

Buckeye is my personal favorite, but the access road is rough and rocky.

It's a very interesting place and for more days than not, the coldest place in California.

so I guess this Bodie is in Ca.?

Bodie State Park is off Hwy 395 in CA. Best site of it's kind one could ever find - and we have been to many.

We stay at Mona Vista in Lee Vining. Make reservation for pull thru - they are great and only have 10.

Stayed there three times and was to Bodie each time - last time about 2 months ago.

Happy New Year.

There are several campgrounds around twin lakes. There are also some campgrounds at Virginia lakes. June lakes loops has a few camps as well. There are also a few up 120. Our favorite is Oh! ridge in the June lakes loop.

We stay at http://willowspringsbridgeport.com/ when exploring the area.

I believe that the closest RV park to Bodie is Willow Springs. It is just 5 miles south of Bridgeport.

You could boondock for free at Sagehen Meadow, around to the south of Mono Lake. You'd probably be all alone there, like I was.
