Paha Campground
Paha Campground is located just 10 miles from Bridgeport, California at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Massive Jeffrey pines tower over the site, providing limited shade. Sagebrush and summer wildflowers dot the area. Robinson Creek is adjacent and offers good rainbow trout fishing. Numerous hiking trails are in the vicinity, including the popular Robinson Creek Trail. Upper and Lower Twin Lakes are just up the road, offering beautiful mountain scenery, boating, canoeing, and fishing for Kokanee salmon, rainbow and brown trout. The rugged and scenic Hoover Wilderness Area can be accessed from the Twin Lakes area, and has additional trails for hiking and horseback riding.
