We stayed at this campground on the Fourth of July weekend this year. The campground isn't too far away from the little town in Bridgeport, which was a major plus for us. The camp host was also very friendly and accommodating. There is firewood available for purchase, and the bathrooms are very clean. The best part about this campground was the beautiful creek. We spent a few hours relaxing by the water, and it was just great. We definitely plan to stay at this campground again.

My Dad used to bring me here as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's, and I am so happy I was able to finally return to share this all with my own children.

Always a great back to nature experience when dry camping at Robinson Creek. The sounds of the creek behind us, the birds singing in the morning or the deer wandering through the campgrounds are highlights. Fishing wasn’t the best this year but always a challenge to catch a few. Daily walks were amazing, sometimes chilly and sometimes hot, always an adventure.

Beautiful campground, near to Twin Lakes and right on Robinson Creek. However, there were no fish! The few that were planted were immediately fished out. Disappointing trip for fishing. Extremely clean and well cared for camp.

The campground is beautiful, clean and well maintained. We experienced two issues that made this experience memorable, for the wrong reasons. First, there was no water due to bacteria in the supply. This wouldn’t have been a huge issue had the campground offered something other than “you can get water at the resort up the road.” I understand the campground had no control over the bacteria situation, but there was zero attempt at helping to mitigate the issue for the campers. The other issue was the smell from the bathroom. We were a good 100 yards away from the bathroom, but when the breeze blew the right (or wrong) direction, it was worse than being inside the building. I will still go back, but I was asked for my feedback and here it is.

If ur camping/R/V make sure u bring ur own fiddles because the three small (but very kind) stores do not have a large selection (?) Cost is cost wherever u go! Bring patience, things R slower here. Slow down have a great time.

We loved our experience. Our problem is with reservations being held and the site not being occupied. Time and time again the park is empty but the reservation site shows reserved. Something needs to change in order to stop this problem. People would like the chance to reserve

We’ve stayed here several times and have always had great experiences. There is no bad site.
The camp host this time was really awesome!
On a personal note… I’m an amateur birder and was fortunate to see Western Tanagers down by the creek this visit!

Camp ground was very clean and the camp host was very helpful with suggestions on acttivaties. Fishing in the creek was disappointing and I later found out that it hasn't been stocked in quit awhile.
However Twin lakes had great fishing.
We had a forest service person give a fireside talk about black bears in the area as well as other parts of the US and how to best deal with them.

Okay, was there early June, lot of snow melt, the Creek was more like a river for California. Fishing poor, locals say DFG doesn't stock the creek, locals buy fish for the lake. Other than that, the campground was well maintained and our stay was quite nice and peaceful. Highly recommend !

We have been coming to Robinson Creek for several years for 2 reasons, both for the beauty of the place and to fish. This year the campground was 1/2 full, many cancellations. We believe it's because Fish and Game is NOT stocking the lakes and rivers with fish. The last few years they've stocked less and less. This year we caught and kept 2 fish in the 9 days we were there. We talked with people in Bridgeport who run business and the amount of visitors has dropped. The number one complaint is the lack of fish that is being stocked in the lakes and creeks. The business are now trying to get donations so that they can stock the lakes from private resources. For the price of the fishing license that we have to pay, we should be able to catch and keep a good amount of fish. In years past we always came home with our limit of 10 each, this year 2 small fish. Please think of the businesses and campgrounds that are losing customers because of the lack of fish and care about those who like to fish and hunt. Businesses and campgrounds and hurting. If there are no visitors, campgrounds and small cities will greatly suffer.

Although we experienced the full gambit of weather from warm & sunny, to wind, rain and snow, our 8 night stay at Robinson Creek was one of our most enjoyable camping trips ever. The campsites near the creek were awesome! Very nice for dry camping at a US Forest Campground.

No fault of yours, 3 days after arrival, smoke was so bad we had to leave. Also there was no fish at the lakes or stream, again no fault of yours. We've been coming here for 15 years, it's always been perfect except for the increasing smoke from the fires to the west.

We have been camping at Robinson Creek and Twin Lakes for years now. We love coming here as it is fairly quiet and generally not to crowded. One of our favorite vacation destinations. I only wish the reservation process was easier but I guess camping has become so popular that that is typical for California now.

Our campsite was seconds from Robinson's Creek, a short stroll to excellent fishing. The sites are well maintained and the camp hosts are friendly and helpful. It is a short drive (10 min.) to Bridgeport Twin Lakes if you prefer lake shore fishing or boating. The scenery is breathtaking in any direction offering Kodak moments where ever you look.
