Sitting by the water, watching the mountains change colors throughout the day, and enjoying the quiet was pure magic. The campground is clean and welcoming, and it's close enough to Bridgeport without feeling crowded. If you're looking for a relaxing spot to reconnect with nature, this is it. Can't wait to come back

First time camping in a larger area with multiple camp sites next to each other. When you arrive,…read morethere's no check in at a gate. You just find your numbered spot and just offload your stuff. There's a camp host that drives around to check you in. They give you guidelines as well. Rules to follow and such. Quiet time is 10pm to 6am. Well...some folks didn't care about quiet time and they were right next to us and were playing monopoly or some board game and were loud till about midnight. Totally was not cool. I felt like the sites were too close to each other. That's my only complaint. The lakes themselves are beautiful so make sure to check those out as there are many in the surrounding area.

The bathrooms have flushing toilets and are really clean, no electricity, but sorta like skylight ceiling.

I would totally stay here again while camping in the Twin Lakes/Bridgeport area. I'm kind of a…read morecampground 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!

I had a pleasant two-night stay in Honeymoon Flat Campground with my boyfriend in early June. It…read morewas 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!

People were respectful of the 10pm lights out so by the tine we went to bed there weren't any foot traffic -- there really wasn't much at all in the day either. We were able to make a reservation but when we got there at 12pm there were plenty of spots around (we did go middle of the week though.) There's fire-pits and a grill at each site. For #3, one 3-4 tent and a 1-2 person one fit. A picnic bench and a bear locker for each site too. The creek was a quick walk away and fun to sit in the edge and watch the water. Bit too cold for end of April to go in though.

I made a reservation for the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend. Unfortunately we had to cancel our…read moretrip because of being needed at work. Meadowcliff lodge refused to give us a refund because it's a holiday weekend. They stated there's a 14 day cancellation policy, but according to their website it's only seven days requirement to cancel on a holiday weekend. My wife tried to cancel a couple days before I called but their employee Scott strong armed my wife over the phone and refused to help. So I called today 8/23/24 and reviewed their policy with him over the phone which he had to put me on hold several times to check his own policy. Anyway refund refused, he was annoyed with me and not only did he refuse to help he BANNED OUR FAMILY for future visits. So unprofessional. Families Beware. Being a lifelong local I'm very disappointed in the eastern Sierra community.

Aspen trees for miles…read more I always make a point to stop here just to witness the Aspens changing color, a breathtaking transformation that typically peaks in late October. It's absolutely worth the short detour. Located approximately 20 mins from Yosemite's entrance at Tioga Pass. These golden groves are located just before the entrance to the campground. While I'm not much of a camper myself, I did stroll through the site to get a feel for it just incase I ever change and become a camper. It's serene, quiet, and beautifully nestled alongside Lee Vining Creek. The area is shaded by trees and offers amenities like restrooms and picnic tables. If camping is your thing, I recommend checking out their website for more details. Even if you're not into camping, catching the Aspens in their autumn glory should be on your list if you're in the area between late October and early November.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon without a reservation, and began to mildly panic one we learned most of the sites had already been taken. Luckily we came across some super friendly Aspen Campground regulars, who invited us to share their double site which just happened to be situated in a prime spot right next to the beautifully bustling river - SCORE! The Big draw to Aspen is hands down the fishing. It just so happened that right before we arrived the local hatchery dropped a load of fresh trouts, ready to be hooked! This was my first time fishing, and I was able to catch (and Cook) my very first fish! If you like to fish and you like to camp, going to Aspen is a no brainer. The trees are also large and plentiful, so if you come, don't forget to pack your hammock!

The sound of the Quaking Aspens at night in the strong breeze will lull just about anyone to sleep. The campground is close to Markleeville and Grover Hot Springs if you want to do some sightseeing in the area. Silver Creek is divided in the middle by the highway. Both sides have some really good sites to choose from. Some sites are held for those who want to risk the drive without reservations. There are only two pit toilets for the campground with one on each side of the road. There are plenty of water faucets and each site has a large bear box. For the adventurous there is a waterfall with a nice ledge to sit on and enjoy the view. Careful as the rocks are slippery. I won't tell you how to get to it because then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. There is also a creek at the bottom of the campground and with a little effort you can find many spots along the waters edge where an afternoon could be whiled away doing some sunbathing and cooling off in some of the deeper pools.
