About

Sonora Bridge Campground offers an escape from crowds in a Jeffrey pine forest at 6,300 feet elevation along the West Walker River. This 23-site primitive campground provides peaceful rustic camping for fishermen and hikers traveling on Sonora Pass between Bridgeport and Walker, California. The campground features views of the high Sierra peaks that surround Sonora Pass, and scenic Leavitt Meadows is just 4.5 miles west. The West Walker River is stocked with trout, making this a popular destination for anglers. Each campsite includes a picnic table and campfire ring, and vault toilets and garbage service are provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the camp host. Nearby Tule Lake has a picnic area with accessible facilities. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own drinking water. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash. A free California Camp Fire Permit issued by CalFire is required for campfire, barbecue, and portable stove use.

Directions
