I tried to cancel modify the reservation on day one. I ended up staying at a different location. The system would not allow me to modify the dates “after the start of reservations. So I had to pay for three nights that I did not use.

Robinson Creek North and South is a beautiful campground with the stream winding around and through it. Camp host was very helpful. I appreciate the RV-style toilets over the old open vault toilets. ...Much more pleasant. It was unfortunate that there was no potable water available through all of the Robinson Creek campgrounds. The notification of that fact came from Recreation.gov well after I arrived at the campground, so I was unable to plan ahead. Fortunately, filtering water from the stream worked out okay. I believe that condition was an uncommon maintenance issue and not an ongoing problem.

The site was great, campground was great, bathrooms were fine, the host was great, but we had neighbors who had a complete disregard for other campers and ran a gas generator (not part of their RV) continuously from roughly 9am to 10pm. The generator was so loud that we could not hear the sound from the creek which was next to our site. I feel like generator hours should be greatly reduced in the campground rules because people clearly can not be counted on to be courteous or reasonable.

Was there Aug 4 ~6, site 22. Had a terrific stay here. CG was clean and to have vaulted restrooms, these were pretty clean as well and always had toilet paper. Our camp host Mike was pleasant and great and always available. Spot was great base camp for activities in the area, Twin Lakes, Leavitt Lake, and Kavanaugh Ridge were the places I visited. Can’t wait to stay here again next year.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. It is right on the creek, the camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. This site in particular has great views of the water and easy access to the water spigot, was mostly shaded, but felt somewhat exposed to the road that went through camp.

Our campsite was too small to accommodate our travel trailer and I asked the campground host what could be done. He made a call to a manager and she arrived and showed me several other options that were more suitable. It worked out great and we had an amazing time. Thank you

We went mid-June 2024 and had a great location right on the river. The river was very full due to the rains during the winter and the snow melt. We loved hearing the water at night when going to sleep. This is the first campground where they give each site a gallon water container to put out their fire at night. We always bring a collapsible water jug but appreciated this touch. Bathrooms were clean although no lights at night (not sure if that was just a fluke). Loved this location very scenic and saw deer and of course chipmunks.

One of my all-time favorite sites since I was a kid. The campgrounds were clean and the camp host was very friendly. Plenty of space between campsites so you really don't hear the other campers. We stayed at site 008. Half shade, half sun and tent only. There's a perfect spot by the creek for a hammock. I will definitely be brining my son back!

We camped with family and friends on 6 separate sites. we had a wonderful time together. Some went to Bodie, some went canoeing at Twin Lakes, some to Mono Lake, some stayed in camp and went on creek walks with young kids. A bear did approach our campsite as we were all sitting around the campfire one night. We made lots of noise and bear ran off. Do use the bear boxes to store food and things that may smell like food to the bears

We had a super time! Our site was perched high at the edge of the creek. Wouldn’t work well with toddlers, but our 9 & 11 year old grandchildren had a great time & managed not to fall in. Our grandson caught his first trout, then 4 more over 2 days. Saw Sierra Glow from campground entrance—unforgettable.

Campsite #18 had no shade and it's in the middle so feels like you're in a fish bowl... kinda rough. Luckily I brought a beach umbrella so I had 4'x4' of shade. Nice bathroom facility with flush toilets. Well kept. The surrounding campsites take up the river front real estate so not a lot of opportunity to get your feet in the water, but some if you stay respectful of other's space. Fishing was decent but only caught stockers with little of their tails left. A short hike gets you upriver into the next campground, Paha. Showers nearby (maybe a mile) before Lower Twin Lake are decent and very welcomed. $3 in quarters for 7mins, which was enough time for me. Good market at Lower Twin. Mike is a very nice camp host.

Campground was beautiful, campground host was kind and helpful, and just a wonderful spot to camp. The only complaint is there are large cracks in the pavement which have been there for years and need some repairs. I get that it is tough with the weather but I believe some repair work on them is a realistic expectation. Other than that, the best place ever to vacation.

Excellent campground - wonderful host - thanks Mike! Although #3 shows as an RV site, the paved parking pad is on a hill which could be quite a challenge. I was able to park my 19' trailer at the back of the pad on the level area, but anything much longer would require significant leveling.

Campsites we’re empty. Reservations should be held for 24 hrs then released if they’re not occupied. Not fair to those who actually appear.

ony issue i have is for all campgrounds in tha area is when making reservation they mention handcapped use. Me being 100% DAV regular army. i have seen people using handi capped spaces without plates or plaque showing they are handicapped or disabled . I spoke with local ranger station and more or less was told oh well what are suppose to do. I havve camped all over Nevada and northern Calif. Tahoe nf Plumas NF Modoc NF and was always checked for correct paper work this brakes my heart and upset me as foe fellow Disabled American Veterans about why Bridgeport Ranger District doesn't check to make sure people have the correct paper one example is Paha space #8 hope some one looks into this issue other than that Brian and Joy do a good job and always are hephful to me when i need assistance.

I had an issue with the female camphost in Robinson creek north. Evidently and obviously she was saving sites for her friends or family. I know because she often was seen having meals with the campers in #37,38, & 39. Sites 37-52 are FF Sites and she was reserving them. Truly unfair. Also campers in 37 & 38 we’re staying longer than the posted 14 day allowance. I know because when I arrived on 8/31 those campers were supposed to leave 9/6 and suddenly their tags on the posts were changed to 9/20. Definitely against the rules and this camphost was allowing it. I arrived on 8/30 and spoke with the camper who was in site 39 and she said she definitely was leaving 8/31.So I told her I would like to take the site when she moved out. I find the camphost rushing behind me to tell me that site was already reserved. I asked her if the person moving in was present and the camphost said Yes. That camper did arrive until later that day. That was a FF site and I was first there but the camphost told me it was reserved. A FF site being reserved? The camphost was seen having lunch with that camper in #39. I have never had an issue with any person before in my 50 plus yrs of coming yearly to Robinson Creek. It’s been a family tradition for us and I was truly not happy. If you’re going to post rules then it should stand for all.
