Bodie CA

If you are not staying at a local RV park I would suggest you park your rig in the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area Visitor Center and drive your toad from there.

Korbe, thanks for the clickey post! The landscape sure looks baron from the sign on?

Thanks for the replies. Based on what I've read, I won't be taking my motor home there, I'll drive my car. Thanks for the feedback.

Been there, done that. The first half is paved with asphalt and the second half is washboard hard dirt/gravel. Its doable but the parking is somewhat limited and if you bring an RV, a weekend is probably a bad idea.

We like Bodie and will go back.

Never heard of the place! Thanks for posting. I now have a new "must visit" location when we next travel in that area.

NO! Do NoT take the RV down that road! BUT...You MUST absolutely go see the Ghost town!!!

It can be done in pretty much anything (maybe not lowered ricey racer) however the road tends to be horrible washboard and slow going. Depending on how busy you may get stuck behind a pile of cars going 2-3 mph. There are places to pass for those who air-down/have cushy suspension/don't mind working the suspension.

I'd take the toad, no sense hauling the entire rig.

Somebody is not an off roader! It's a gravel road that people drive regular street cars on all the time. It can be done!

Three miles of unpaved road which may or may not be smooth depending on weather conditions. It is all dirt road coming from Bodie to Mono Lake out the back way. That road was pretty bumpy in our 4x4 truck. Would not suggest the back way in a MH.
