  • River Run Campground
  • private business Lava Hot Springs ID
  • THis one is right across from ther Lava Hot Springs Hotel. At the opposite end of the little town from the Lava Hot Springs where I did go.

  • Tuttle Creek Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lone Pine CA
  • Close to Lone Pine, really excellent view of Owens Valley south over dry Owens Lake, The last 2 miles have many brutal diagonal speed bumps, beware!

  • Round Spring Campground
  • Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Eminence MO
  • These federal parks along the Current River are national treasures. I had a great time here tonight.

  • Cape Perpetua Campground
  • Siuslaw National Forest, Florence OR
  • lovely spot in the valley beneath the cape. Lots of little hikes, and the rocky coast.

  • Difficult Campground
  • National Forest, Aspen CO
  • The most Difficult thing about this place is getting a site! ha,ha. 4.5 winding miles from Aspen make this the budget way for the rest of us to be able to exist for a few days in Aspen.

  • Sisters Campground
  • private business Sisters OR
  • handy city-run campground, easy to walk to everything in town.

  • Marion Forks Campground
  • Willamette National Forest, Detroit OR
  • Glad I stopped here, really nice campground at a cool place, behind a State of Oregon trout hatchery. The campground is pretty deluxe, there are heavy wooden fences lining the roadway and each campsite, I guess to clearly delimit where people should walk and where they shouldn't. So the forest ares are pretty pristine. The campground is either new or recently renovated. The hatchery has been around for a while.

  • Kingston Campground
  • Humboldt Toyiabe National Forest, Kingston NV
  • quiet, little brook, pretty deep into Kingston Canyon, 2-3 miles of gravel road. Off-roaders came in late, were noisy for a while.

  • Baker Creek Campground
  • Great Basin National Park, Baker NV
  • Never been here because it involves three miles of gravel road while the others are off paved road. My verdict: not worth it. Nice little creek, but very dusty, and sites are NOT level.

  • Battle Creek Campground
  • Lassen National Forest, Mineral CA
  • quiet, road nearby but it's not busy, in a young redwood forest, at the edge of the National Forest. First good place to stop east of Red Bluff.

  • Independence Creek Campground
  • Inyo County Parks, Independence CA
  • Real good find! I thought these county parks were spendy, but $10 seems like a pretty good deal to me right now! On one of those little "creeks" LADWP sculpted out to constrain "their" water. Wide open sagebrush on one side, a column of willows and cottonwoods following the creek on the other. Very quiet and pretty today.

  • Cave Springs Campground
  • Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff AZ
  • The largest of the three USFS campgrounds between Sedona and Flagstaff in Oak Creek Canyon. I think this is the least cool. Manzanita is the coolest but always full (11 sites in this giant tourist attraction0), Pine Flat is right next to this one, and looked to be the second coolest. This one's still pretty sweet though ... although I find myself worrying about evacuation routes if this dry, hot canyon was swept by a forest fire. We would all be screwed I think.

  • Four Jeffrey Campground
  • Inyo National Forest, Bishop CA
  • on a lovely little aspen-lined creek a few miles above Bishop. You can go even farther up either road and come to a lake, but this is a nice compromise, in the valley below the fork in the road. Save a few miles of driving straight up. Behind a big-ass moraine which cuts the valley in two. It's open and very pretty, with the annoying corporate management that most (all?) of the Inyo Forest campgrounds have.

  • Lower Little Truckee Campground
  • Tahoe National Forest, Truckee CA
  • On good ole CA 89 a few miles north of Truckee. Drove by here many times, finally staying. Boring but handy! There are two campgrounds here about a mile apart, Lower Little Truckee and Upper Little Truckee. Theis not difference between them.

  • Water Canyon Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Winnemucca NV
  • Lovely, quiet campground in an amazing location, tucked in a little valley six miles south of Winnemucca. You can hike up,up,up the creek, or hike up the side if the hill for an epic view north to the Jackson Mountains.

  • Russian Gulch
  • California State Parks, Caspar CA
  • Very cool state park a little south of Fort Bragg. There's a waterfall two miles up the canyon, something called Devils Punchbowl on the rocky shore, and lots of other hikes in between.

  • Twin Peaks Campground
  • San Isabel National Forest, Twin Lakes CO
  • First campground coming off Independence Pass heading south. Real pretty. Still, $19 doesn't get you a lot in Colorado. Checkout time is noon. Elevation 9,620' - yikes!

  • Patrick Creek Road
  • Smith River Recreation Area, Cave Junction OR
  • This is Saturday of Labor Day weekend, and every site in all three campgrounds along Route 199 is taken. Somewhat depressed, I turned on the newly paved road on the other side of the creek from Patrick Creek Campground, and surprise, there was an area where clearly folks had camped before a few miles up the road. It's quite nice, right by the creek, and no one has bothered me - woo!

  • North Creek Campground
  • Washington and Jefferson National Forest, Buchanan VA
  • Been here twice, and it was a little bit weird both times. Drive for six-ish miles up the side of the mountain, then get to a quiet campground on the point of land between a creek and a smaller creek. Both times it has seemed gloomy here. Both times I have been really happy driving back down the mountain to get out of here.

  • Coyote Creek Campground
  • New Mexico State Parks, Guadalupita NM
  • Saturdays are such a trial to the hardened traveller. Every site is taken, and it has been raining for days, so the overflow lot is a soggy mess. The nice lady said I could park on the reasonably level pad next to the bathroom. The things I do for a shower.

  • Whiskey Flats Campground
  • Sawtooth National Forest, Stanley ID
  • modest little spot right off the road, right on the river
