Camping Labor Day Weekend: Big Pine Lakes!!! Fishing, Glaciers, Roaring Rivers

EVENT IS FILLED

First of all, . .Big Pine Lakes is an amazing hidden gem. The water is a crazy hue. The Minarets rising above are stunning.

We went her last year and filled it to max. So DO NOT DELAY!!!

Third of all: Payment link (PAYMENT LINK REMOVED) does not guarantee your spot. Payment is the only was to secure you place. Our events always fill up. And with lower limit . . . it will fill faster.

This year we will need to only fill to 1/2 normal capacity for social distancing. (more about that below)

There are amazing places on the way there and nearby as side trips. Such as the Anceint Bristlecone Forest, Mansanar, Alabama Hills, Fossil Falls or Red Rock Canyon (Cantil).

Even with that: You don't see trips often to Big Pine Lakes. This is because area is only open from May to October. The snow is thick even into May and in Oct the nights are below freezing. With such a small window sites are super hard to get. Especially for holiday weekends.
AND WE HAVE A GROUP SITE FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!

Our site is amazing. Tons of conveniences. There is a small cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a small general store with a few necessities for if you need them.
Many of the sites have electrical at the site or close by. Same goes for water. Restrooms are close. Space for cars, and an overflow lots near.

Best of all . . . There is a Fish Pond!!!!! Stocked with trout. You can even catch dinner. The fish pond is free!!! For fishing you will need to buy (AND HAVE WITH YOU) a fishing licence before you go.

Tons of shade from mature pines for many of the sites

We are steps away from the trail-head AND steps away from the roaring glacier fed Big Pine Creek.

Drive Time to the site from LA is reasonable with beautiful places to visit and stop at on the way there or home.

The site is located at 7,800 ft so it's cooler.

You only need the basics of camping gear. You will receive packing and equipment list recommendations .

Food: This is one layer to our new social distancing polices. Everyone brings, stores and prepares their own food. All food remains covered. and all utensils and dishware is single use.

Washing up/washing hands: Each site has water and electrical. Super easy for sanitation.

Congregating: Instead of one central fire pit we will have several. This will make for better distance

Hiking and excursions: Since there are multiple things to do, and since different people have different schedules: We will use this to a social distancing advantage. Hikes will head out at multiple times making small groups, and same with excursions.
