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.
