Buckeye Campground
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest - Bridgeport Ranger District

Click to Locate Buckeye on an Area MapBuckeye camp is located due west of Bridgeport, California along it's namesake...Buckeye Creek.  Access is down a fair dirt road from either US 395 or Twin Lakes Road.  The road is passable to cars and minivans from the Twin Lakes point of entry, if obvious care is taken.

Buckeye is your typical big Sierra campground.  It is quite sprawling along the creek, but only a dozen of the sites have creek frontage. This can make creek sites are hard to come by on weekends.  The camp is quite popular, especially among Urban Nevadans.  The camp is fair to well shaded with tall pines (more shade in the rear).  

There are flush toilets are available in every loop (they are the RV type, not typical restroom fashion), and a couple of older vault toilets. 

There is fishing in Buckeye Creek (the state does planting here). This area is mainly used as overflow for Twin Lakes (which is very popular).  Reviewed 07/1998.
