Overview

Honeymoon Flat Campground is located just 8 miles from Bridgeport, California, next to Robinson Creek at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The Twin Lakes area is about 2 miles away, where visitors enjoy boating, fishing, hiking and horseback riding.

Recreation

Robinson Creek offers good rainbow trout fishing and can be easily accessed from both loops. Numerous hiking trails are in the vicinity, including the popular Robinson Creek Trail.

Facilities

The campground contains single and double-family sites equipped with picnic tables, food storage lockers and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the host.

Roads and parking spurs within the loop on the east side of the road are gravel. Most sites on the west loop have paved parking spurs.

Robinson Creek South Campground is nearby, where educational programs are held at its amphitheater on weekends from July 4 through Labor Day.

Natural Features

The campground is divided into two loops on either side of Twin Lakes Road. The west loop is partially shaded by Jeffrey and lodgepole pines.

The east loop is much more open, with only a few Jeffrey pines towering over the area. Sagebrush, grasses and summer wildflowers dot the landscape on this loop.

Nearby Attractions

This should not be a campsite. This site is horrible. It’s right on the main road. I kept driving past this site to get to town and it never rented for the 4th of July holiday which is a tell tale sign it’s subpar. The camp host was the rudest person I’ve ever met in my life. She screamed at me right when I pulled up and then proceeded to go in to her van and stare at us while we tried to set up, host is 2 spots away from the site. My dog had jumped out of my car when I arrived to say hello to my friends dog that was at the site. My dog is a service dog trained to alert me to carbon monoxide since I almost died from exposure years ago. My friends dog is a therapy dog for the elderly. The host had issue with them off leash (which I completely agree with) but my dog was literally off leash for less than 15 seconds when she flew up in her gas powered golf cart. Generators were running in the 2 sites on either side of us and I got an instant headache. I tried to walk to the river but there was huge tree blocking the path so it forced you to have to impede on camp #3’s site to get to the river. I went across the road and picked out a first come first serve site, so I payed for both but it was better than being next to them. Someone had said the host is jaded and retiring after this season. That can’t come soon enough. The other side ran out of toilet paper for 2 days during the July 4th holiday and I supplied 3 spots with TP I had with me. The wind comes down from twin lakes through the valley so everyone running their generators fills up this entire campground. This entire area is worthless.
