10,000 people may have lived there at one time, but when I visited, there were 10,000 RV's in the campground. OK, a slight exaggeration for dramatic effect, but one of the nice things about real ghost towns is, well, hardly anyone is there.
Bodie would be fine if not crowded but as a State Park, it gets a lot of publicity relative to the places where the decay is not so arrested.
Still would be worth a visit if you haven't seen a ghost town before. Rhyolite near Death Valley is similar in concept.
