In the agency’s own words
Honeymoon Flat Campground is located just 8 miles from Bridgeport, California, next to Robinson Creek at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The Twin Lakes area is about 2 miles away, where visitors enjoy boating, fishing, hiking and horseback riding. Keep reading
Recreation
Robinson Creek offers good rainbow trout fishing and can be easily accessed from both loops. Numerous hiking trails are in the vicinity, including the popular Robinson Creek Trail.
Facilities
The campground contains single and double-family sites equipped with picnic tables, food storage lockers and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the host. Roads and parking spurs within the loop on the east side of the road are gravel. Most sites on the west loop have paved parking spurs. Robinson Creek South Campground is nearby, where educational programs are held at its amphitheater on weekends from July 4 through Labor Day.
Natural Features
The campground is divided into two loops on either side of Twin Lakes Road. The west loop is partially shaded by Jeffrey and lodgepole pines. The east loop is much more open, with only a few Jeffrey pines towering over the area. Sagebrush, grasses and summer wildflowers dot the landscape on this loop.
Nearby Attractions
Upper and Lower Twin Lakes are nearby, offering beautiful mountain scenery, boating, canoeing and fishing for Kokanee salmon and rainbow and brown trout. The rugged and scenic Hoover Wilderness Area can be accessed from the Twin Lakes area and offers additional trails for hiking and horseback riding.

Don't Move Firewood: Help prevent the spread of tree-killing pests in our national forests by obtaining firewood near your destination and burning it on-site. For more information visit dontmovefirewood.org.
Pass Discounts: If you use a pass discount you must provide your pass and photo identification upon check in or upon Camp Host request. If you received a pass discount for which you weren't eligible you must pay the difference in price upon arrival.
Reserved sites will be held until checkout (NOON) the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of the second day to hold a reservation, or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests. Please call the office at 760-932-7092 if you need to inform the campground of an arrival time greater than 24 hours after your arrival date, or if you will not use your reservation whatsoever.
Fire Restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions (or red flag warnings), at which point campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. Please check with Camp Host before starting a campfire.
6-person limit- there is a max of 6 people per Single campsite. If you exceed this number, purchase two sites and spread your group and equipment out evenly between campsites. This is to protect the natural resources and minimize noise levels. Double site has 12-person max. Triple site has 18-person max.
Once your reservation start date has begun, neither Recreation.gov contact center nor the Camp Host or Campground Manager will be able to modify your reservation. If you no longer want the site you have reserved you will need to cancel that reservation and pay for the site you prefer. There is no exchanging sites.
Generators may be used from 6am-10pm. Quiet hours in the campground are 10pm-6am.
Falling objects: Don't linger under dead, cracked, or broken branches. Run if you hear cracks or snapping from tree roots, trunks or branches (know that sometimes there is no sound and very little time to react). Report falling branches and trees to the Ranger.
Fire Rings: Do not build additional fire rings. Glass, aluminum and food are prohibited in fire rings. Logs must fit within the fire ring. Chainsaws are not allowed. Fires must be extinguished with water and be cool to the touch before leaving campsite or going to bed.
Pets must be on a leash and under their owners' control while in the campground. Owners are responsible for any damage the pet causes. Aggressive pets may be asked to leave the campground for campers' safety and enjoyment. Please pick up and dispose of pet waste in dumpsters.

No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rates for this season, $30–$50 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
