I had a pleasant two-night stay in Honeymoon Flat Campground with my boyfriend in early June. It was the perfect base to get to everything between Bridgeport and Lee Vining, including Mono Lake, Twin Lakes, and Bodie. Between the Lower and Upper grounds, there are plenty of neat, well-maintained campgrounds available for reservation and for walk-on. It’s $ 20/per night for a site, which gets you one parking spot, one square sand lot for your tent, a picnic table, fire pit, and some sort of metal tray thing. The vault bathrooms are kept clean and stocked(albeit stinky, but what can you expect from a hole in the ground), and the drinking fountain is really a faucet outside where you can go about your abbreviated cleansing rituals. I would recommend getting a site near the creek as some other reviewers suggested as the gurgling helps mitigate the sound of RVs rolling by on the crunchy gravel. The host makes his rounds throughout the day to check on all the campers. Ours was super friendly and we asked him for directions and bear sightings(there was one the first night). Our second night, a small mob of six deer was watching the grounds intently probably on the same mission as the bear. The campground is surrounded by hills and mountains so it gets REALLY cold at night, with quite a bit of condensation collecting on our tent. Mornings were on the other end of the spectrum, the heat and light making it impossible to sleep for long(unless you’re like my boyfriend who could sleep all day). The sandy ground makes for a much better sleeping experience, but we both highly recommend getting inflatable sleeping pads to make it even better!

Love creek fishing other then in the Lake… As for camping it was ok. Hot in the day and freezing when the sun went down… I love this place but give me a cabin not a tent if I go again. But it is also one of the places to go and see and the fishing is great, very hard to get a camp sit so plan far ahead…

Stayed in a tent in Lower Honeymoon Flat space #10. The rushing stream sound was very soothing and drowned out the RVs generator noise. There was quite a bit of smoke due to the Rim Fire. Amazingly, people were still making campfires even when it was quite warm and smokey. Everything was recently refurbished. People still cram RVs into tent spaces!

I would totally stay here again while camping in the Twin Lakes/Bridgeport area. I’m kind of a campground snob, meaning I like to scope out all the sites & pick the one that is most secluded, shaded, near a water source & bathroom, but not too close. Unfortunately due to a last minute change of plans I didn’t have a choice as this was the only campsite available within 50 miles or so. It turns out, most of the sites in this little campground here are very nice & only a few are undesirable(exposed, near the road, very little room for a tent, etc.). Honeymoon Flat is one of many campgrounds on Twin Lakes Road just a few miles from Bridgeport. If you have never been to this part of California… GO. It is just gorgeous with the expansive green, grassy valley that runs right into the massive Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is really breathtakingly beautiful. We scoped out a few other campgrounds on Twin Lakes Road & Honeymoon Flat is one of the best. It is small(only 28 sites) and right next to Robinson Creek. Many of the sites are right on the creek & you can fall asleep to the sound of rushing water. The bear bins, fire pits, BBQ’s, & picnic tables were all brand new. Such a clean campground! The only downside are the bathrooms(pit toilets). They were clean enough but full of flies. Not much you can do about that. I scoped out the best sites for next time…3, 5, 10, &11. They are all on the river & very secluded. Don’t miss the nearby hot springs, Bodie, Mono Lake & hiking in the Hoover wilderness!

Made a family trip to Bridgeport and wanted to camp out, so at the last minute this camp ground had a reservable spot open up for the weekend. Reserve @ I want to highly recommend spot 14, it is completely private unlike the many other campground spots where you’re in the open, best spot in the campground by a very very very long shot. There are shrubs for privacy, trees for shade, enough parking for 4 cars(I believe you pay extra per car) and the creek runs right next to it. Although not deep for swimming, but you can walk thru it for cooling off and a quick cleaning of your hands. To boot, the ranger was great, asked if we needed anything and confirmed that we were the right group that reserved the spot the next day, being that we didn’t arrive till 9:30pm the night before.
