Nor-cal GOLD LAKE July 10-12th camping trip this summer.

Planning a trip to gold lake for this summer July 10 - 12. We would be camping on the 4x4 side of the lake away from the crowds. There are 16 large camp sites over there. You could fit 3 trucks at each site on the water. Camping is free and first come first serve. There are bathrooms. You should be able to make it to camp in a stock 4x4 and maybe even a locked prerunner. There is a lot to do at gold lake (fish, kayak, hike, swim, bike, or wheel in the national forest behind it) This trip really has something for everyone.

EDIT: Lots of people want to go. There wont be enough sites. The trip is first come first serve. some people will have to drive up into the national forest to camp. Make sure you have a fire permit.

Pictures from last year. (hope dawson doesnt mind)

 

I'm in pending dates... August?

 

Looks like a lot of fun! pretty far for me though...528 miles

 

Im thinking July

 

I'm mist likely in for this I have wanted to camp there for a wile now.

 

We go up there every few weeks throughout the summer, depending on the date we may be down to join. I'm getting married in mid-Aug though so close to that will probably make it a no-go for me.

 

OP list updated

 

I'm down as a maybe, depends on date and work load.

 

Thats a drive for a weekend trip. Added to the list.

 

True, but if work is slow I can take a Friday & Monday off.

 

Nice.

 

Besides I love driving! in 2 weeks I have a 5,000 mile road trip. But still not sure if I'll take the truck for some possible wheeling or the car for more speed and MPG haha

 

most likely in for this one

 

I is down.

 

I'm in pending dates, August is clear for me as of now.

 

That place looks sweet. I'll have to check it out this summer.

 

In, depending on date. Would like to go back and run Snake Lake trail.

 

So im only free like one weekend all summer according to the wife so the date is July 10th - 12. Hope it works for everyone.

 

me too. We hit a snag on the trail and it was getting late and we were traving back to the bay so we didnt finish it.
