Definitely worth visiting. It is an authentic gold-rush/mining ghost town. Plan to spend at least a full day in Bodie; there is much to see and easy to overlook portions of town if you're rushed. Make sure to visit the cemetery for a real sense of the people who lived/died in Bodie, especially the "Little Angel of Bodie". It's a bit of a bumpy,dusty ride once off main road but well worth seeng. Take a jacket because the winds can blow and it can be chilly at times.
Bodie is a real Ghost Town not some Hollywood idea of a ghost town.
I haven't been there in many years but it is well worth the trip if you like the old west, antiques and old buildings. Spend a few hours and you'll see most of it.
There are campgrounds & RV Parks closer to Hwy 395.
