CA based, I enjoy backpacking & hiking new trails any chance i get

Fun day hikes

Area offers campgrounds but also its a good place to do day hikes. Its very close to San Francisco so it can get busy. Not the best place to be in solitude but it offers nice trails and views. Restrooms are available and there’s easy parking access.

Perfect View

Camped here one night. Was coming from thousand island lake heading to tuolumne meadows. Found it by accident, was in a rush to find a spot before it got dark. Place was amazing. Perfect to watch a sunset , it overlooks the valley

Comfort in the wilderness

This place is perfect for ppl that want to experience Yosemite and still have commodities. The cabins or tents provided are clean and have everything you need. Showers restrooms etc the food in the cafeteria is also good. Parking is good and easy and the location is close to many trails

Prime California coast

Took on the lost coast trail. From Mattole River to the black sand beach in Whitetorn town. Took 3 nights finished the 4th day. Overall it was nice but it does get old in the last day. The sand, wind and sun do grow on you. Beautiful scenery but it doesn’t change as much after all it is a beach trail. Watch out for rattlesnakes in the areas were you will camp. Saw several all over. Do your research before doing the trail. Tides, weather etc. It was an exciting trip over all

Nice experience

Took my wife here for her first backpacking trip. Was over all a great experience. Went at the end of June . The lake is shallow in some areas with white sand . It got a bit windy at night and the mosquitoes were gone by the morning but mosquitoes do love hanging out by the water. Cool spot to stay a few nights

Perfect spot

So far this is the nicest place ive ever camp at from all my backpacking trips. Cant beat lake with the mountain in the background, tranquillity and spacious area. Only con can be mosquitoes. Other than that this place is a must to visit
