5 days of bliss by Hume Lake!

We actually used the new Dyrt Alerts feature to snag this spot and it was awesome! Campsites are spread out nicely, access to bear boxes, dumpsters, and bathrooms are easy. There is 0 cell service at this site, I only had access to WiFi at Grant Welcome center, about 20 min away. You can also walk over to Hume Christian camp and pay $20 a day to hop onto theirs if you really need it. The camp hosts did have phones if there was emergency. The ground was really level for our van and tent. Also, shout out to our hosts for being great! They welcomed us, went over all the rules, and let us know there was an active bear in the area and what we needed to know about it. (We did hear the bear 3/5 nights) Make sure you store ALL food and coolers in the bear box and latch the dumpsters back and you’ll be just fine! The hiking and swimming around Hume Lake was great but this site was also easy driving distance to Grant Tree and General Sherman hikes a little further south. We went in August and it was perfectly warm during the day, not too hot (76) and cold at night (55). We did have a summer thunderstorm pop up so always be ready to switch gears and have some extra clothes! All in all a great spot and would be happy to stay here again.

Great spot to camp, would stay again!

Ever since staying in Hume Lake I’ve wanted to go back! Our spot was private enough, at least it felt like it being so close to the lake and amongst the trees. We really enjoyed getting coffee at the Christian Camp in the mornings! We were easily able to drive everywhere in the park we wanted to go. Seeing the Milky Way through the giant trees from just outside our tent was a wonder! The lake was gorgeous and we ended up spending a lot of time there.

Campground super close to Zion

We had a great experience here! We loved how walkable the things we wanted to get to was from here. Lots of great restaurants! The shuttle stop to get into Zion was right at the entrance. When we got gear to bike ride and hike the narrows that was also within easy walking or shuttle distance. The camp host was so friendly and even gave me an extra shower token since I have extra long hair. The sites aren’t private and extremely close together but we didn’t mind since we hardly spent time in the campground itself. Showers and bathroom were very clean!

Terrific location, clean,and friendly!

I had been in this direction before and knew I wanted to camp here! It’s an easy drive from Los Angeles. We stopped right off the freeway at the super Walmart for supplies and then the campsite was only about 15min from there. Checking in with our incredibly friendly camp host was easy. The campsite was very clean and we had a fire pit. The bathrooms were also very clean! Red Rock State Park is only about 8 min away and I strongly suggest getting a scenic drive reservation. Once you go in you can spend the whole day there! Beautiful spot and pet friendly!

Great Free Camping!

For being a dispersed camping spot I am always impressed when there’s a bathroom! Definitely loved this spot. Stars for days! Coyotes came right by the van in the night though so watch your pets if you’re camping with them! Follow the road all the way back for two great hiking trails. One has petroglyphs and the other is an old homestead. I also make it a point to visit the slot canyon on the way in our out of this area!

Still a fave!!

I’ve camped here several times and I’ve never been disappointed. A creek runs right through the camp from the mountains, we just put the cooler right in the water and everything stays icy cold! Gorgeous views and the STARS!! Rock climbing areas all around. This campsite also has a bathroom which is very nice but bring your own TP. Check out Mobias Arch trail - it’s a must do! The best BBQ you’ll have in California about 40 min away.

Especially great for off-roaders!

Dirt Biking heaven! Our friends brought their toy-haulers and we played in the desert for a few nights. The weather was pretty good for November. Plenty of space to have 2 RV’s, a van, and a few guests. Definitely head over to Slash-X cafe if you get a chance and grab a beer while listening to live music in the back patio!

LOVE this getaway!

If you’re ever in a position to go camping in Catalina - DO IT!!! Two Harbors has stunning views, a great hiking trail, and easy access to showers, bathrooms, a small grocery, and a restaurant- get a Buffalo Milk at the bar, you won’t be disappointed.

An OK spot for a night

It was ok for one night - would probably try to find another spot for a more relaxing time. They allowed pets, but couldn’t take my dog on the trail down to the beach which was a bummer. Also had to pay for showers - bring cash to get tokens!! The water was hot but when I pay for a campsite like this I don’t want to pay more for a shower. I had a picnic table and fire ring. Wasn’t very quiet - lots of families, but seemed to be a good spot if you did camp with kiddos!

Relax by the lake!

Hardly anyone there when I went in March and felt like I had the place to myself! Hot showers and picnic table available. Just a 1 min walk down the hill to the lake - a perfect place to have my morning coffee! They allowed pets which is awesome. Super quiet, lots of stars, and a beautiful view. Couldn’t ask for better!

Loved this spot!!

A little gem hiding out in Lytle Creek! Easy access to a pretty trail right behind the campground. Very quiet and interspersed with long time stayers and temporary campers. I stayed in my van and had my cat and dog with me. Campfire wood was easily available and had its own picnic table. Beautiful scenery and we even got a dusting of snow! I stayed two nights while in town for work and it was perfect.

Easy Enough Stay

Just a simple RV park outside of the campgrounds! I was happy to stay here in my van while in town to work. Great hot showers and quiet. Shore power plug in. No water at my site and never found a place to dump out. Great access to highway, arroyo burro dog beach and groceries!

Love spending time here!

Bolsa Chica is one of my favorite “in the city” places to go and relax. Nothing better than an ocean view and a fire pit!

A van lifer’s dream

Quartzite is definitely the Mecca of all Van lifers during the winter months and this time out was no different. You can be in the little town with conveniences or go far out and get away from it all. The weather is perfect and the people are friendly

One of my FAVES

Absolutely love staying just outside the park. Easy access to some beautiful trails and you can easily fill up with water, dump out, and use the garbage from your vehicle. We met some other really friendly travelers and had a couple nights of campfires together. Sunsets and sunrises were incredible and even though you’re just off the highway you don’t hear any noise. Only 40 min away from Indio to pickup groceries - I recommend WinCo.

Nothing like sleeping right on the beach!

Even though you are lined up next to your neighbors, noise just doesn’t carry because the roar of the ocean is so loud! It’s amazing to fall asleep to. We loved exploring the sand dunes across the street and even saw a pod of dolphins! Restrooms were well maintained and staff was friendly. A huge bonus is that it was pet friendly, but most of the trails around are not.

Great for groups and pets!

My group had a blast at this campground! We were really tucked away from neighbors and were very close to the lake and bathrooms. We went in August and it was perfect weather, warm days and cool nights. I am interested in what other campgrounds have to offer, but would definitely come back here and recommend! We also loved that it was pet friendly and an easy drive to everything wanted to see between Mammoth & Yosemite.

One of my favorite places!

Wow, nothing bad to say about this site! Next to the lake and some great trails, an easy car ride to everything else. This was my first time in the Sequoia’s and we stayed for 4 days in mid-July. The weather was perfect! I can’t remember it being too buggy even being so close to water.

So pretty, but a little loud!

I love this campground for the area. Beautiful trails near by, next to a stream, gorgeous views, and of course that mountain air! Trees are perfect for hammocks. I’ve been here a couple times and it’s always been really crowded and loud, and if you want to party in the woods, this is the spot! If you’re looking for a more remote area, this isn’t it. Still an enjoyable campground and if I’m going with several friends this will be the place we go!

Good campground, close to great trails!

It was a good campground to get away for a night or two! Had my 2 little boy cousins and my dog with us and we all had a good time walking down to the river to play. Great place to chill out and cool off!
