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

RSVP does not guarantee your spot. Payment is the only way to secure you place. Payment link https://py.pl/PizYU

Our events always fill up. And with lower limit . . . it will fill faster.

You don't see trips often to Big Pine Lakes. This is because area is only open from May to October. With such a small window sites are super hard to get. Especially for holiday weekends.
AND WE HAVE A PRIVATE SITE FOR Labor Day WEEKEND!!!!!!

Our site is amazing. Tons of conveniences. Small rustic cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Many of the sites have electrical and water. or close by. Restrooms are close. Space for cars nearby.

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. From SF . . . it's a longer drive.

You only need the basics of camping gear. Perfect for first-timers. We have zooms ahead of time for First-timers.

Food: Everyone brings, stores and prepares their own food. This is for safety AND allergies. It's impossible for us to provide food that meets every diet limit, restriction, allergen. All food remains covered

Hiking and excursions: Since there are multiple things to do, we will use this to a social distancing advantage. Hikes & excursions will head out at multiple times making small groups

Event is rain or shine.

Dogs OK on trail and in camp.

Firewood: We will provide a bundle of firewood to start. If you want a super roaring fire you can pickup some extra at the small store.

Carpools? Normally we make a carpool resource. It goes out a week in advance of the event.
