The Best Camping Near Bear Valley, California

Regularly stocked trout in Spring and Summer make this a fisherman's paradise. Great place to completely get away, as there's no cell phone reception. You'll need to bring your own water or plan to filter from the stream. In late summer there's plenty of swimming holes below the waterfall for the kids.
