Kiahanie Campground
Reviewed Jun. 17, 2017

Quiet gem

Tried to hit Blair Lake for some early season (June 17) camping, only to find impassible roads with 4' snow banks. 4,800ft elevation, I wasn't expecting snow, but a nice gentleman and his son recommended a way back down the mountain that would lead toward Box Canyon and some other campsites.

I ended up at Kiahanie because it was closest (having already been in the car for four hours), and there were riverside sites available. The sites are large, and have a few hundred feet between them. There's water, but no electricity (or maybe limited electric), bathrooms, and an awesome host named Leigh.

They weren't selling firewood, and the pickins' were slim after a big rain, but managed to scrounge enough for a few hours of heat.
