Bodie State Historic Park

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...

I can't find what kind of rig setup you have, so, be advised that the park is about 14 miles down a very bumpy dirt/gravel road.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

so I guess this Bodie is in Ca.?

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

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