shon42073


I am going camping for an extended trip of 11 days in the eastern sierra's near mammoth lakes california. Is anyone familar with this area's campgrounds ? I'm looking at big springs near the owens river headwaters or deadman creek camprounds near crestveiw, can anyone give me info on these, and let me know if it is a good place to stay. Hurry i live in 3 days and am having trouble deciding ! Any campground must be near fishing.


Answer
Concur with Rock Creek. Try East Fork Campground for the best selection, pies at the top of the hill at the resort, and great burgers at the bottom of the hill at Tom's Place. Fishing is good, and if you like to hike in, there are some good lakes up the trail in Little Lakes Valley.

Secluded Camping Area on West Coast?

I am looking for an area for camping somewhere along the west coast (But will go as far as Utah or Arizona, or somewhere recommended along the Colorado River) that isn't disturbed by modern society. This means no city lights, no roads, just a place I can backpack to and camp at for 2 days.

Also, having a location near a body of water such as a stream or river, and a forest nearby would be amazing.

Wow, there's only a ton of places that fit your criteria. One could write a series of books on the subject, oh wait, plenty of books have already been written on the subject. To keep this brief, check out John Muir Wilderness in California's High Sierra. There are literally thousands of lakes and streams and plenty of forest. The scenery is rediculously incredible. Go to ebay and check for any hiking guides on the Sierra National Parks or Wilderness areas and that should help narrow things down a bit. One of my favorite spots is Little Lakes Valley above the small town of Tom's Place. It's about half way between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop. The hiking is easy and the views are incredible.
