Tim and Misty as well as all their staff are super friendly and AWESOME folks!!! Cabins are comfy and clean, with everything you need to prep and cook meals if you desire. I am a fisherman and have rented boats at different lakes all over this country. I must say that the boat I rented here is TOP NOTCH! I've never rented a boat anywhere else that has a fishfinder onboard like there is here. And the boat was in great condition and clean when I hosted it. If you rent a boat here, you will not be disappointed. Overall, 5 stars all the way around!

Twin Lakes Resort is a great base of operations for enjoying all the amazing things the Bridgeport, California area has to offer. There are so many things to do in this area from fishing and camping to hiking, biking, hunting, sightseeing and photography. Or you could literally just plop a chair down on the grass, under an Aspen tree at the resort, breathe in the fresh air and look at the lake or wait for the wild deer to wander through in the afternoon. The resort is very family oriented and is a great place to bring the kids. There is literally something for everyone here. The resort has several "primitive" cabins that are comfortable and clean as well and many RV and tent campsites. The store is fully stocked and the café serves up some great food and drink. I can highly recommend the pizza and Bloody Mary's! If you are just rolling through the area or just stopping through on a JMT trek, there are showers and a laundromat where you can clean up and wash your chonies! (make sure you get coins for the showers and laundry at the resort store) If you are into fishing, there are some lunkers out there in the lakes as well as Robinson Creek. The Twin Lakes Resort has a non-profit fund that they use to stock the lake and creek. So make sure you make a donation that will help them continue with this stocking program. And the highlight of the year for fishing is their yearly "Fish Fest" which is held the last weekend in July. They have a fishing derby with great payouts, a 50/50 drawing and a raffle with all sorts of awesome prizes. During the Fish Fest weekend, there are all sorts of things for the families and kids. They have jumpers and waterslides as well as live music during the day and "movie nights" on the lawn when it gets dark. So if you were looking for a great place to spend time in the eastern Sierra either alone or with your family, look no further than Twin Lakes Resort!

Stayed for a week in September of 2024. AMAZING! Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Love the store and the boat, kayak, and SUP rentals. Beautiful views. Clean campground. Friendly staff! Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful time there! Pull trough Rv sites were amazing even get a shade. We rented a boat from the marina $90 for 6 hours (very responsible) BTW the boats only go about 5MPH so great for fishing and cruising around but not for water sports etc. The store is well stocked great hot springs nearby about 6 miles away 3 miles on a well maintained dirt road (buckeye hot springs) Saw tons of deer. Wifi was great, note Verizon and Att cell services does not work there. Overall a great trip will definitely be back soon

Quaint rustic cabin. Stayed there in October during the cold spell and the cabin kept us toasty warm. Marcie, Ron, Larry and staff were super friendly and helpful. Ron told us how to set up our rig for Kokanee salmon. Rented one of their boats and caught one! Also went hiking along Robinson creek in upper twin and saw salmon spawning and beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend staying here. Lots to do and see! Also no TV so it forced hubby to get outdoors

Great campground! The general store offers all your needs plus a deli and bar. The staff are super sweet! We have been coming here for 30 yrs and always camp at crags but decided to switch it up. I definitely would recommend

I need reservations for go this Saturday?

The resort isn't monitoring this page for reservations. You need to either go to their website and book online, or give them a call at the phone number listed.

Hi there! Which tent sites are best? Please help us make the best choice possible. I'm sure all their sites are great.

Not sure because we stayed in our trailer. The whole area is beautiful though!

September 19 through September 21, 2023. Came up for a…read morecouple day fishing trip with good friend. Campsites are both reserve and first come first serve. We showed up as first come first serve and we're lucky to get a beautiful spot right on the lake. They have nice deep fire rings, picnic tables and bear lockers. We didn't see any sign of bears. The sites are $27 a night and you can buy wood for six dollars a bundle or two bundles for $10. There is a 14 day limit on first come first serve sites. This time around, the road to Upper Blue Lake was open, so we headed up there to check it out. There are a couple campgrounds up there that have nice sites and include bathroom facilities. We ran into a couple of backpackers who convinced us to take the "short" hike to Granite Lake to do some fishing. We grabbed our fishing poles and gear and headed out thinking that short would be a quarter mile or so. The hike actually turned out to be 2 1/2 miles with about a 700 foot elevation gain. If we had known the distance, we probably would not have done the hike, but once there, we got a couple of very nice rainbow trout. We did not have any cell phone coverage in our camp, but at the 9100 foot elevation of Granite Lake we did have some pretty good cell coverage.

We rented two single kayaks from Bass Lake Water Sports. The good: we got there waaaaaay early and…read morethey accommodated us. Of course we got there way early because the instructions said arrive an hour before your appointment time. Good little soldiers we, arrived at 8:02 for our 9am paddle. By 8;10 they wanted to know if we wanted to get breakfast first or just go. Pffft! Lemme at it. The other good: okay, it's the Sierra Nevada. How can it not be glorious on a lake? Buuuuuut... here comes the bad: waiting, waiting, waiting at the end for someone to notice we came back. I blew my requisite emergency whistle twice in frustration and still nothing. Probably ten minutes of employees not seeing us, or maybe preoccupied with the gasoline powered craft. Which brings me to the next maybe not bad but not great... we were the only people who didn't need to sign the disclosure that we had to pay for our fuel separately. That, in and of itself isn't so bad... but it meant this 3.5 mile lake was choppier than some oceans on which we've kayaked. Constant wake. We had to stay on the shore side of the large orange buoys, and the motorized pontoon boats, sea-doos, jet boats with water skis... they were on the other side. It's like when I was a kid flying 11 hours LAX - LHR in the 1970s and the smoking section's boundary changed based on the ratio of smokers. Yeah, there was segregation but hoo, didn't make a lotta difference. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. Still, we're on the lake, it's a beautiful day, what's not to love? The ugly wasn't appalling by any stretch but it wasn't great either, and it's the reason I'd rate this place 3 of 5 stars. It got the job done but I didn't see any evidence that people cared. The kayak was dirty and had trash in/on it - half a paddle padding torn off and river weeds. The paddle was held together with peeling electrical tape, had only one drip ring with no padding (maybe sitting on the prow?) and the paint was chipping off. And the drink holder was half full of slimy river water. Blech. Who wants to risk drinking nasty water running down your bottle? For $250 for two hours, I would expect better.

I would advise exercising serious caution before renting anything from this shop. Our experience…read morehere was severely disappointing, and overall really sketchy. Rental Contract Overall okay, if not a bit disorganized and confusing. It took a fair amount of time to get the contract. They presented us two options for the deposit: a $25 non-refundable flat fee to not have to think about damages, or a $200 refundable deposit. We were told several times, "but if you choose this option, it might take up to 10 days to get it back." No problem - $200 seems a bit high for a kayaking rental deposit, but we were fine with that. They also took photocopies of our IDs and and credit cards without telling us, which was a bit strange. Getting Kayaks Really strange experience. There was a nebulous "wristband" system that half our party got, and half didn't. When we noticed, we went to ask, and then they haphazardly gave us wristbands, which were never used. A while later, eventually we were ushered to an area where we got a safety briefing and then the kayaks by the dock. We were told that when we came back in from the water, we should wait until an employee ushers us back in. Then we were off. Returning Kayaks This is where things got weird. On the water we noticed an extremely fast, dangerous jet ski zooming down the water in a slow area. Later, when we came back to return the kayaks, we followed the instructions and waited for an employee to usher us back in. There were about 4 other kayaks already waiting. There were a couple employees at the dock, chatting, not acknowledging the kayaks that were waiting. Eventually, we had to go in, so we just went for it, and one of the employees ran over. No apology, and the plot twist - it turns out he was the speeding jet skier! We eventually return our gear and equipment (with no employee assistance or directions). We get our gear back from the locker, and are about to leave. One of our party members asks us if we got our deposit back. Confused, we asked an employee. Turns out they wouldn't have given us the deposit back unless we asked. So much for the automatic 10 day period. We asked what would have happened if we forgot, and turns out we would have had to physically come back. We, presumably like many of their clients, are from out of town. So I imagine there are a lot of "mistakes" like this. Overall The sketchiest part of this was definitely was them clearly hoping we'd forget to ask for our deposit back. I don't know if this is because the whole shop seemed to be run by teenagers, but I would definitely not return.
