Which Bridgeport?
3 incorporated towns (I've lived in 2 and have friends in the third.)
24 communities (8 of them I know personally, others not so much)
and that is just the US.

Hmmmm...The OP lives in Calif! How many of your Bridgeport's are off Hwy 395? How many are close to Walker? I know its great to have additional info and I see questions posed all the time without any reference points, in which case I dont bother to offer up an answer. To the OP.....last time I was up that way, Lake Topaz(Casino) had something like a 15 dollar rate for overnight and its not that far from Walker. Ive also overnited off the roadway south of Bridgeport near the River.

Thanks for the 2 responses. That gives me somewhere to start. Acampingwewillgo, thanks for saving me some typing. That is almost exactly how I was going to respond to Matt.
I have stayed in a large gravel lot overnight on the northwest end of town across from the Shell station and next to a grocery store. Big lot, trucks a few times, froze the plumbing in May one time, but for just a sleep and get on down the road, it's okay. Breakfast at the Bridgeport Inn used to be good, park on the side street next to the Inn. Also, along the Walker River where it runs right next to 395, there are some nice wide pullouts okay to overnight in. That would be south of Walker and north of Bridgeport.

Thanks Camorhino. The gravel lot looks like my style and eating out for breakfast would be a nice change, Jeff.
I highly recommend the Hays St. Cafe in Bridgeport, on the right just before exiting town (going south). Always have breakfast there when departing town after my annual Bridgeport fishing trip.
I think last year the grocery across from the Shell station was closed. Might make it even more available for an overnight.

Yeah, I use googe maps street view all the time. Don't know how I ever got along without it. I normally feel like I've already been someplace when I get there.
Now I'm sittin' here with my stomach growling trying to figure out what breakfast place to hit. Thanks again everybody for all the helpfull info, Jeff.
