A few miles down the road from the turnoff on 395 for Bodie, is a small private campground on a small creek. I don't live in the area any more, but for years and years we went to this campground. They have a restaurant that's even open sometimes, a small store, and lots of trout in that stream. We could usually catch a limit without leaving our campsite. If I remember right, this stream comes from Viginia Lakes. Down the road a ways is Twin Lakes campground. A really beautiful place with all the amenities, but LOTS of people. There's really quite a few campgrounds in this area clear down to Topaz Lake at the CA/NV state line. Any of these campgrounds are great places to take day trips from; I believe Lake Tahoe is only maybe an hour and a half at the most. Enjoy the beautiful Eastern Sierras. My grandparents had a place on the Walker River, so I spent my childhood summers up there...
