Beautiful place to camp

We taught several youth camping skills here. Lots of hiking and just a beautiful place. I heard that it's closed now but hopefully it is still open. Would love to camp there again.

Sweet campsite

Barrel springs campground is a super sweet place. There's plenty of tree and shade coverage, nice spread out spots to set up camp, and good nearby hikes.

We stayed here during our PCT thru hike after crossing mile 100. There's a lot of nearby trails to walk, and at night lots of wildlife to listen to.
