Camping at Trumbull Lake near Bridgeport

Public campground · Bridgeport · 29 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Facilities are straightforward and oriented to low-impact, self-sufficient camping: each site has a picnic table, food-storage locker and a campfire ring with a grill, and vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided in the loop. Roads and parking spurs are dirt, and firewood can be purchased from the host, so expect a more rustic drive-in experience once you leave Highway 395.

“Fantastic visit. Fishing was the best ever. The camp host (Kemo) was great. Good camp site. Water, trash, outhouse close. Will be back next summer.”

Gerald H 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“As always, love camping at Trumbull Lake. Even though it rained every day, we were still able to get out and hike and enjoy the beauty of the area. Kimo, the camp host, was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful and keeps the campground in perfect condition!”

How far ahead to book Trumbull Lake

For June weekends, book about 182 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 163 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
June163 days ahead182 days ahead131 days ahead178 days ahead

August132 days ahead176 days ahead111 days ahead174 days ahead
September125 days ahead177 days ahead68 days ahead154 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,124 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
