Willow Springs Resort

Campground in Bridgeport, CA • 25 RV Sites

Willow Springs Motel and RV Park sits five miles south of Bridgeport in California's Mono County — a family-owned property operating for over six decades in one of the Eastern Sierra's most richly varied outdoor regions, where Great Basin desert, alpine terrain, volcanic geology, and California's famous fly-fishing streams converge within a compact geographic range. The combination of motel and RV park accommodations reflects a property built for the traveling generations who discovered the Eastern Sierra corridor and have been returning ever since. RV sites with full Wi-Fi connectivity give traveling guests a comfortable and well-connected base in an area where cell coverage can be inconsistent and reliable internet access matters for guests managing work or itinerary planning. Motel rooms provide solid-wall accommodations for guests who prefer a hotel-style experience in the mountains, and the property's spotlessly maintained character — a point of pride through six decades of family stewardship — ensures that both accommodation types reflect genuine care for guest experience. The park is pet-friendly for RV and outdoor guests, with motel rooms reserved for guests without pets. The campfire circle and quiet mountain evenings create the kind of social atmosphere that develops naturally around a small, well-run property where guests tend to know their neighbors within a day. Virginia Creek, flowing past the property, provides fishing access for trout that are a consistent draw for Eastern Sierra anglers who know this stream. The Bridgeport Reservoir a few miles north holds substantial rainbow and brown trout, and the nearby Twin Lakes are among the most productive and scenically beautiful stillwater fisheries in Mono County. The Eastern Sierra's fishing reputation is built on a network of streams and lakes at this quality, and Willow Springs' location places guests at the center of it. Bodie State Historic Park, an 1877 gold rush ghost town preserved in a state of "arrested decay" on the high plateau above Bridgeport, is one of the most authentic and atmospheric historic sites in California — the structures stand essentially as they were left when the mining boom ended, and a visit in early morning before the tour buses arrive creates a genuinely eerie and memorable experience. Travertine Hot Springs, a natural geothermal pool accessible just outside Bridgeport, provides open-air soaking with panoramic Eastern Sierra views that have made it a favorite stop for US-395 travelers. Mono Lake, the ancient alkaline lake with its distinctive tufa tower formations, is a short drive south and warrants a full morning of exploration. Willow Springs Motel and RV Park operates through the Eastern Sierra outdoor season, with the prime window running from late spring through early fall when Bodie, Mono Lake, and the high-country fishing are all fully accessible. The US-395 corridor sees significant through-traffic from guests heading to and from Yosemite's eastern access, and Willow Springs' combination of six decades of reliability and authentic Eastern Sierra character makes it a consistent choice for repeat guests who've tried the alternatives and come back.
