Paradise Shores $40 nightly RV

Paradise Shores Camp in Bridgeport is selling itself as a full-hookup Eastern Sierra base camp, but its website does not list a flat $40 nightly RV rate. (paradiseshorescamp.com) The campground says RV sites include 30-amp electric, water, septic and high-speed fiber internet over a Wi-Fi mesh network. It also says Mono County adds a 15% transient occupancy tax on stays shorter than 31 days. (paradiseshorescamp.com) Paradise Shores says rates change for holidays, high-season weekdays and weekends, and it tells travelers to use its booking system for actual totals. The camp also says it usually requires two- to three-night minimum stays during the season and five nights over the Fourth of July. (paradiseshorescamp.com) The site sits on Bridgeport Reservoir in Mono County, north of Mammoth Lakes and near the eastern approach to Yosemite National Park. Paradise Shores says Yosemite, Tuolumne Meadows, Mono Lake, June Lake and Bodie are all within a short drive. (paradiseshorescamp.com) Mono County’s tourism listing describes the property as a family-oriented camp with full-hookup RV sites, tent sites, rental trailers and access to kayaking, boating, trout fishing and hiking. The county listing also pitches it as a place to “bring the whole family.” (monocounty.org) The $40 figure tied to Paradise Shores appears to come from older third-party user reports, not from the campground’s current rate sheet. Campendium shows a “last price paid” of $40 from a June 2021 report. (campendium.com) Other third-party listings now describe the park more generally as a midpriced property rather than a fixed-budget one. RV LIFE labels it “$$,” while Tripadvisor shows 94 reviews and a 4.6 rating for the Bridgeport park. (campgrounds.rvlife.com) (tripadvisor.com) For travelers planning around a viral “$40 a night” claim, the current evidence points to a more complicated picture: variable pricing, taxes, minimum stays and older third-party rate data.
