Bridgeport has historic inns, lakeside cabins, guest ranches, campgrounds, and the kind of places that feel connected to the landscape around them. Whether you’re fishing Twin Lakes, exploring Bodie, hiking into the Hoover Wilderness, or simply taking your time along Highway 395, Bridgeport offers plenty of places to call home for a few nights.
Walker River Lodge
Modern motel-style lodging in the heart of Bridgeport with easy access to restaurants, shops, fishing, and Highway 395. Comfortable, convenient, and popular with anglers, road trippers, and outdoor travelers looking for a clean basecamp.
Bridgeport Inn
Built in the 1870s, the Bridgeport Inn remains one of the most recognizable buildings in town.
Located in the heart of downtown, the historic inn combines Victorian charm with modern comforts and puts restaurants, shops, and local attractions within walking distance. The front porch has welcomed travelers for more than a century and still feels like a good place to end the day.
Virginia Creek Settlement
Part lodging, part historic experience.
Located south of town along Highway 395, Virginia Creek Settlement offers cabins, motel rooms, a restaurant, and access to some of the most scenic country in the region. Virginia Lakes, Bodie, and Yosemite’s eastern entrance are all within easy reach.
The property feels like a natural extension of the Eastern Sierra itself, simple, comfortable, and surrounded by open space.
Twin Lakes Resort
For many visitors, this is the Bridgeport experience.
Located directly on the shores of Twin Lakes, the resort offers cabins, fishing access, boat rentals, and immediate access to some of the area’s most popular hiking trails. Mornings begin with mountain reflections on the water. Evenings end with alpenglow on the Sawtooth Ridge.
It’s easy to understand why people return year after year.
Silver Lake Resort
Located just below Virginia Lakes, Silver Lake Resort places visitors in the middle of some of the best fishing, hiking, and scenery in Mono County.
Cabins, camping, a café, and a small store make it a convenient basecamp for exploring the surrounding mountains.
Hunewill Ranch
For travelers looking for something entirely different, Hunewill Ranch offers an opportunity to experience one of California’s historic guest ranches.
Guests spend their days horseback riding through meadows, canyons, and mountain landscapes that have changed little over the past century. Evenings revolve around hearty meals, conversation, and a slower pace of life.
Campgrounds Around Bridgeport
Many visitors choose to stay even closer to the landscape.
Campgrounds at Twin Lakes, Virginia Lakes, Buckeye Creek, and throughout the Hoover Wilderness provide easy access to fishing, hiking, and some of the best stargazing in California.
The alarm clock is optional.
The sunrise is not.
A Good Basecamp
One of the advantages of staying in Bridgeport is how much sits within easy reach.
Twin Lakes, Bodie State Historic Park, Virginia Lakes, Travertine Hot Springs, the East Walker River, and miles of Hoover Wilderness trail all begin a short drive from town. Most days start with a simple question:
Mountains, lakes, rivers, or backroads?
There isn’t really a wrong answer.
