Lower Twin Lakes at Bridgeport

We truly enjoyed Lower Twin Lakes campground. Our site was very clean thanks to Bill the camp host who provided lots of information on things to do and see while visiting the beautiful surrounding Brigdeport area. Fishing the creek is a must for all and of course the two Twin Lakes as well. These campsites are all on the creek and in a wooded/shaded forest. All sites have fire pits and bear proof food lockers.

Bill and Beverly were excellent host! Bathroom and sites are clean, and kept up. Site is right next to the river, can't beat it.

I camped here last week with my mother and two of her friends. There are four sites designated as tent-only sites and number 14 was large enough for 3-4 tents, plus it was right on the creek and next to a small meadow-like area. I prefer backpacking and camping in less structured areas, but this site was perfect for our little group. It was close to the bathroom, but not close enough to smell it, and there were paved table and fire pit pads, in addition to paved walkways to each site and to the bathrooms, which were great for my mom.

All of the sites are well-shaded and close to the creek and some are far better suited for trailers and RVs. Some have no space for tents. The area surrounding this campground is breathtaking and you don’t have to go too far to see it. We rented a pontoon at the Twin Lakes Resort and spent a few hours on the lake—gorgeous!

Besides the beauty, I must mention how absolutely clean and well-maintained this campground is. The camp host, Terrie, is amazing, and so helpful and friendly. She works constantly to keep it clean. Fire pits are shoveled out, walkways and table pads are blown off, there was not even a speck of trash anywhere. Terrie also kept guests well-informed about protecting bears with proper food storage and even put people’s food in their bear boxes for them if they accidentally left anything out when they were exploring for the day. The bathroom was kept extremely clean and well stocked with toilet paper, attended to twice a day.

Additionally, the tables were freshly painted and clean. The fire pit was heavy cast iron and completely functional—Toiyabe NF is doing a great job (I spent some time recently on the western slope of the Sierra at a Sierra National Forest campground and it was disgusting. The camp host did very little and took no pride in the campground. The tables and fire pits were in poor shape, too)

There are plenty of places nearby to get supplies and eat out, and of courses, days’ worth of recreational activities. We also enjoyed the shower house just a one minute drive from the campground (bring 12 quarters for 7 minutes).

One of the nicest, cleanest, best managed forest campgrounds we have been able to use. It should be used as a model when upgrading or refurbishing run down and tired campgrounds.

Amazing little gem! The lakes are a short walk away and the campsites are right on the creek which is stocked with trout. We even managed to float down the creek a little from the spillway area. A bunch of hot springs nearby, just magical!

We stayed at site 15, close to the bathrooms yet far enough. It says it’s a walk in site but you can park not too far although we did need an extension cord to blow up the mattresses. Host can be extra nice or not, depending what mood she’s in. You can buy your wood right with the host. There is no phone reception here but there is a resort located 10 min away walking distance where you can buy ice and hop on free wifi.

Very clean, beautiful, peaceful. Everyone was friendly, bathrooms clean.

Site 5 was part shade and sun. Nice flat area for one tent. Near bathrooms and trash but no issue. Flush toilets but no sinks. Water is spigot only. Site and bathrooms were clean and fairly quiet.

Campsite are too close together.

The Camp host was amazing and Got us a Site that was nice then the one we were in. the Campsites were clean and Bathrooms were fresh and Clean.

Beautiful place. Host was nice. Some sites are a little small, others have better space. Right next time a creek filled with trout. 3 minute walk to the lake. 1 minute drive from the store by the lake. No cell service, 1 small bar every once in a blue moon.
