Paradise Shores RV Park

This place was absolutely fantastic. It’s located right off Bridgeport Reservoir, only a few miles from downtown Bridgeport. You can either book a camping/​RV spot or rent out one of their 4 trailers. It’s in an amazing location only 30−45min away from Yosemite, Mono Lake, Twin Lakes and Bodie.
We rented out the Baja trailer for a couple nights and had a really nice experience. Waking up to the view of snow capped mountains is hard to beat. Alan and Veronika were great hosts and the trailer came with everything you could possibly need — its own bedroom, a small dining area, kitchen, bathroom and shower area. The cooking utensils, flavored yogurt, granola bars and microwave popcorn were a great bonus. It also has its own grill and a little chimney with wood and paper provided to get a fire going. They do have a few kayaks available too.
I loved that they had a community bonfire setup over the weekend where they provided smores for everyone. They also do taco nights on Sunday which was a lot of fun. If you’re new to the area they have a little book with all the things you can do around the area. We found this particularly useful.
This place is booked out months in advance so make sure you grab a spot early! There’s so much to explore around the area so we’ll definitely be coming back here very soon.
Pro tip: Don’t forget your bug spray. Since this is by the lake, once the sun sets you’ll see a swarm of mosquitoes.

Had a wonderful camping trip here. The campsite was simple and cute with friendly people. We had the most amazing sunsets every night. The bathrooms were clean with complimentary razors, q-​tips, lotion and feminine products.

If you’re going to be tent camping or RV camping in Bridgeport, this might be THE place to do it. If you don’t want to stay in a tent and you don’t have an RV, no problem. They have some that you can rent to stay in! The bathrooms are spotless, and there are small touches that really make this place endearing. There’s a common area with a fire pit and a hammock, and another common area with a grill and a hammock.
Check-​in was easy too. We met Veronika, one of the owners, but since we had a full agenda, we didn’t spend as much time at the campsite. So no laying around in a hammock this time!
The wind was crazy while we were setting up our tent, but a gentleman in the RV across from our site was kind enough to help us out a bit. He even lent us stronger stakes, and our tent stayed up all evening! Hooray for friendly camping neighbors.

I’m part of a photography group that travel Highway 395 extensively and often tent camp during our journeys. The last two years we have tent camped at Paradise Shores RV Park and we couldn’t be happier with this campground, the friendly service, the cleanliness of their grounds, and the restrooms!
Obviously, most people who camp here are RV campers, but for those that are thinking about tent camping here, this review is for you!
Campsites are limited, but I’ve never heard of anyone having problems reserving a site. A nice touch about their tent sites is that they have designated spaces for tents that have either pine needle or bark ground covers, that make the tent floors soft, free of rocks and other objects, which adds just a little touch of extra comfort when using a sleeping pad.
Each tent space is large enough for at least two 2-​man tents, possibly 3 depending on the tent size, although they will be very close to one another.
Tent sites also have wooden picnic tables.
Parking is not a problem at all.
For me, one of the highlights of this RV park is their restroom/​showers. I have traveled all over the Country on photographic journeys, and often showers are a luxury, but by far the restrooms at this park are the cleanest and most welcoming restrooms at any campground or RV park that I have ever been to or heard of… Bar none! Paradise Shores restrooms are hotel quality! (On par with a good Best Western for example). They are super clean, and are nicely decorated as if you are a guest at someone’s home; Paradise even provides disposable shavers and cotton swabs (Q-​Tips). Showers are free and hot, with an area to change clothes.
Service is excellent and they will go out of their way to accommodate your schedule and needs. I highly recommend this place for tent campers looking for a quick rest spot or a as a basecamp for a multi-​day stay.

We were just passing through. Stayed one night. Such great managers. Such a quaint place. So friendly, he even helped us spot our 5^th wheel. Would stay there again!

Great place to stay. The owner and his wife very friendly and acommadating. They are constantly improving the place. Spaces are adequate and we’ll maintained. John C.

We stayed here for 7 nights. Alan and his wife Veronika are so caring. Their place is so comfortable and they go out of their way to meet all of your needs. The laundry room is so neat and tidy. The restrooms, well best ones we have ever seen. What rv parks do you know that provide q-​tips and razors? Or even provide a wash station for your pet? There is a hammock. They start a bon fire on Saturday night and even provided marshmallows for my boys! They even allowed my boys to play with their dog Clyde, which they loved! We were able to purchase ice from them on multiple occasions! Awesome place to stay!!! They are very informative and helpful! If your looking for a place to stay, this is the spot!!! Great job and thank you! We will be back for sure!!!

Allen was great called because we needed a place for the night. He was wonderful on the phone and told us to come on over, They had a great location over looking the Bridgeport Reservoir.
So sad how low the water line is. Our drought in CA is intense.

Had an amazing 2 nights stay in the Teton trailer. It was nice, clean and very well equipped. Alan and Veronika, the owners, are the nicest people and will go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable stay!

Stay at an RV park!!! That was the response I got from my wife when I made reservations for two nights in a rental trailer at Paradise Shores. I made the reservations for us to spend a couple of days in the Bridgeport /​Eastern Sierras area to enjoy the scenery and various nearby hot springs. When I checked reviews of most local motels, most were not pet friendly and many were described by reviewers as old and dingy. The reviews of the rental trailers at PS were very good and most mentioned how clean everything was. So we took the plunge and made our reservations for the Baja trailer. We arrived late at night but found the the park and trailer easily. First impression was «wow this is cool and really nice» Everything in the trailer/​cabin worked and was spotless. Its camping without the hassle of bringing a tent plus you have a stove and microwave to make a nice meal after a day of exploring. The owners are super cool and laid back but are attentive to any needs you may have. We borrowed a dvd player and some nail clippers while we we stayed, better service than at the Marriot we stayed at in San Diego recently! All I can say is put aside any preconceived notions you may have about trailer parks and think of this place as a alternative to motels when you visit. Trust me you wont be disappointed!

We will definitely come back! We stayed here one night in Oct passing through. The park has so many little personal touches. Flowers all around the park, very clean, the owners were exceptionally friendly. The bathrooms were very clean, probably the nicest bathrooms we have seen in any campground/​RV resort.

Stayed here for 3 nights and have to say this was one of the nicest RV camps we have been to. The bathrooms are cleaned daily, the owners and staff are very friendly, the grounds are beautifully kept up, it’s quiet, dog friendly and when the sky is clear there are the most amazing stars to be seen in the night sky. It’s also only a short drive to Bodie State Park, Mono Lake and into the town of Bridgeport where there are a few different restaurants, shops and stores.
The two things I can say were negatives (if you can call them that) are:
1. The reservoir which is right off the campground was basically dry (which is not the fault of the owners), but it did not take away from the breathtaking views this camp offers.
2. Because the ground itself is gravel my dogs paws were tender to the touch and sore from walking on it, but again I understand the reasoning for having the ground be gravel just something to keep in mind if you are planning on bringing your dog with you.
This is definitely someplace we will be returning to again in the future!

We just spent the best 5 nights (Aug 29 — Sept 3) in the «Baja» trailer. It is perfect for a couple. Clean as can be. Super comfortable queen size bed with soft sheets and fluffy pillows. Your own bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and plush towels. Living room has a smaller flat screen TV, there are only about 30 channels available. The couch is comfortable and I was told it pulls out for another bed, but we didn’t use it that way. Extra pillows and blanket in the cabinet. The kitchen is great, good size fridge and freezer. 4 burner stove top and real oven. Also a microwave, toaster and a 12 cup Mr. Coffee pot. There’s plenty of dishware, glasses, cups, flatware and utensils. I didn’t really cook much as we brought cooked & frozen food, but there are pots & pans. I didn’t find any oven ware, but didn’t need any either. Lots of windows with a nice view of the lake and mountains. The trailer has heat and cooling, both of which we used since there was a 40° swing in temps. There is free Wi-​Fi, though don’t expect a super strong signal — it’s fine for web surfing & email, but I wouldn’t try to send huge files.
The «Baja» has it’s own outside seating area facing the lake with a chimenea. Wood rocker, loveseat and table. Also a charcoal grill. There is also a picnic table right by the trailer. The «Baja» even has it’s own landscaping with potted plants and flowers.
The entire park is landscaped… flowers, trees and new propane fire pit with seating. There’s another wood fire pit with seating where everyone gathered on Saturday night to talk, sing, make smores and the owner, Alan plays guitar. There’s a fish cleaning sink complete with clip-​boards.
There are separate men’s and woman’s bathroom, each with toilets and 2 showers. Again, so clean with plenty of hot water to use… no quarters needed. All kinds of bath items sitting on the counter for use, Q-​tips, cotton balls, Aveno lotion, etc.
The owners, Veronika and Alan are terrific folks. You can see how much care and love has gone into the park with all these little touches they’ve added.
Unfortunately, because of the drought, Bridgeport Reservoir is extremely low… so low, the marina and docks are high & dry. We didn’t even try to fish there, however, we did go up to Virginia Lakes and Lower Twin Lake for fishing and yes, we caught fish! Lots of them and two keepers — hubby’s, 3 lbs, 2 oz and mine, 3 lbs, 7 oz.
Staying at Paradise Shores was such a good decision. I know I sound like I’m gushing, but it’s truly a wonderful place to stay! We’re already planning on a trip in the Spring.

BEST camping trip ever! The campground is beautiful with great views of the lake and mountains. We were only staying for 3 days ended up staying 7. Would have stayed longer but had to get home. Will be back next year. Veronika, Alan and even Clyde were very kind and VERY helpful… from Alan helping us back in to Veronika moving things around so we could stay those extra nights. I highly recommend paradise shores for the avid fisherman to the person (me) who just wants to read and relax and take in the beauty to just to pitching a tent (very safe) and passing through. This is the BEST campground for you. Can’t wait until next year.

My family & I stayed here for two weeks. Here are the things we loved about this place:
1. Cleanliness– the grounds and the laundry and restroom facilities.
2. Location– a bike ride away from the town of Bridgeport where there’s restaurants, lodging, food shopping and a local library, post office, park and laundromat all within walking distance.
3. The owners and hosts are super kind and friendly. We arrived here after hours and the office «open» sign and the well lit front porch welcomed us. We’re new to RVing and the owner Alan backed in our trailer for us.
4. Staff and neighbors are friendly. A neighbor came over and shed light on my husband as he unhitched from the truck. Another neighbor kept me and my son company while we watched. He even offered us a drink. The kindest people doing this at 9 pm!

Allen and Veronika are extremely nice and helpful. They made a long day of travel end smoothly. It is very reasonable and have many products available to purchase. There are laundry and bbqs on-​site. It is very clean. The bathrooms are so nicely set-​up and so CLEAN! They have so many nice touches throughout. There are full hook ups.
This is a great base camp for going to visit Bodie.

Amazing as Always, Allen and Veronika are great and The Sanchez Family will continue to come back for MANY years. See you guys soon.

Veronica and Alan always greet us with a huge smile and a hug. They do everything possible to make our stay a happy one. Paradise Shores is clean, quiet and friendly. The restrooms smell fresh and have many amenities. I saw razors, Q-​tips, cotton balls, hand soap, Aveeno Lotion and tampons in the women’s restroom. The men’s restroom had razors, Q-​tips and hand soap. They have full hook-​ups, free wifi and cable TV. We also were amazed that we got cell reception this year with Verizon. Paradise shores is located on the Bridgeport Reservoir where you can fish. They provide a place to clean your fish too. This year, they added a place for group gatherings with a new barbecue. They also are always adding new flowers to their landscape.
We cannot wait for next year !

P. S. This place is safe. I don’t know what the woman (Bunny) was talking about. Perhaps she confused it with another place.

We spent 5 nights here over the 4^th of July holiday and had such a blast that we have already booked our stay for the 2014 4^th of July week!
Let me begin with the owners, Veronika and Al. Veronika is such a warm and inviting woman who loves to share any tidbits of information she can about the area. Al is very nice also, but he was always working his tail off so we didn’t chat much!
What matters most to me is that the restrooms are clean, that we feel safe leaving our trailer for the day while we are out exploring, and that we feel safe at night. The answer to all of these is yes! Everybody here was incredibly friendly and social and I saw Veronika in the restrooms on a daily basis keeping them clean.
We had reserved a boat from here to take the kids fishing on the reservoir, but it was really low and kind of funky due to the lower snowfall this past winter. Veronika understood when we ditched out on the boat and headed off to a different lake for fishing, which we greatly appreciated.

We have stayed here a number of times and always feel like we don’t want to leave. The owners are helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. The bathrooms are spotless, there’s Wifi, cable, clean laundry facilities, and nice large sites with full hookups. Being right on the lake with the backdrop of spectacular mountains is awe inspiring! Very dog and family friendly and as a woman who is often alone here when the fisherman husband goes off to do his thing, I feel very safe.
We highly recommend staying here!
