While we don't RV in the area, we are second home owners in Mammoth Lakes and have heard a lot about Bounder Creek being a good place to stop overnight or longer. You did not mention Reno or fuel, I will add in Reno there is a campground on 395 within view of Hwy 50 and next to COSTCO. Best prices for gas are COSTCO and the two ARCO stations in Gardnerville and Minden, fill up at one of those. if possible. Mammoth Lake as mentioned via a clicky is in a great recreational area and our second home.
My one admonition is to drive a little slower than else where. Walker Canyon is not bad but is can be tricky. There are pulloffs and you should be careful to use them. When you drive through Bridgeport, be mindful of your speed. It is not a speed trap, there have been several problems arise in town with all the travelers speeding trough town and RVs are very easy to spot and stop. Take a look at the back in angle parking as you drive through town. I don't know anyone who has figured that out yet and I worked in the traffic industry for over thirty years. It's just plain weird.
If you want info on attractions in the area, post your interest and when you'll be there and time table. If you post, PM me and I'll be sure to read and reply.
