Would have told me....

I wish someone would have told me 3 things before I was directed into this campground.

  1. It’s Trumpville (I’ll let you interpret as you wish)
  2. Unwelcoming to tourist
  3. The bears to steer tourist away (conspiracies)

No, really... we saw a bear the first day we arrived. I had been camping for 4 nights before arriving to Belknap with my family because our original reservations were cancelled due to wildfires and had seen NO bears. I understand the locals (Nelson, CA (POP. 180) probably don’t want tourist in near them with everything going on (Covid, Racial tensions, crime, etc.) You get the picture. Anyways I wish someone would have told me that there would be a bear and crazy people riding RTVS down from their properties... this place gives me the creeps. Go literally anywhere else. Gave 2 stars because obviously thus place is beautiful but an ugly border guards it. Stay safe.
