Robinson Creek Comments & Reviews
Visited Robinson Creek Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Robinson Creek?
When will the campgrounds open?
Hi Phillip,
Robinson Creek Campground (South and North) are now open.
How long are you open till would like to come up
Hi Tanya,
Robinson Creek North loop is generally open late April to early October. South from late May to mid September, weather and condition permitting. You can check the USFS page for latest status.
Does cell phone service work well among these campgrounds?
Hi Jen,
Robinson Creek campground/area does not have cell service. You’ll need to drive down toward Bridgeport to pick up a signal.
Just came back from Robinson Creek South. Here is what I found out. If you have AT&T, you can get 1 bar of signal (2 bars occasionally) if you stand in open area. No such luck for other carriers. 2 miles down the road, the general store has free WIFI. You can drive back toward town, there is an entrance to a range. You get very strong signal there.
Hi Shu,
Thanks so much for the info!
Cell is available near the big wilderness Pine tree North of the Restroom near site 40 on the North loop for AT&T. ifi phone available at the store. have starlink so I have wifi calling at camp.
Are reservations needed for Robinson creek north. Planning on being there October 29th
HI Sean,
North is generally open late April to early October. It appears (from Rec.gov) that campsites are unavailable, meaning the campground is probably closed for the season. You may try calling the information line for the campground: 760 932-7092
am i able to camp here if im only 18 or do i have to be older?
Hi Zoe,
I believe it is okay/legal to camp at Robinson Creek Campground if the oldest person is 18 years old. You may want to call Rec.gov to confirm: 877-444-6777. You can also try the Bridgeport Ranger District office at: (760) 932-7070
Does the camp site have a nema 14-50 outlet so that I can charge my tesla there?
Hi Felix,
Sorry – there’s no such outlet at Robinson Creek campground. You may want to check Bridgeport, CA.
Hello
We have a reservation at Robinson Creek S space 7. We’ve stayed there many times with an RV larger than 20 ft. I see that 7 says 40 ft allowed. Can we have 26ft trailer in space 7?
Hi Renee,
Unfortunately I’m pretty sure your 26 foot trailer won’t work in campsite #7. That has a parking spur measured at 20 feet long and the trees are pretty close to the back area – so no room for overhang.
Are there generator hours? Or can we run it through out the day?
Hi Stephanie, You can use generators at Robinson Creek, but I’m not positive if you can run them 24 hours. You can run them during the daytime for sure.
PHONE AND SERVICES NOT AVAILABLE. RESTROOM IS A VAULT. PERFECT FOR ME.
