Amazing time at the cabin in La Porte. Fresh snow and snowmobiling around Little Grass Valley Reservoir to soak in the views. Duke had a top time getting shuttled up to the cabin ! Looking forward to enjoying some peanut butter whiskey and hanging out by the fire tonight. Definitely stop by Reilly’s for their pizza…tasty times

Campsite and bathrooms not in the best shape for cleanliness. However just reading a 3 week old post makes me understand. But still one of my favorite places to camp. Biking trails. Access to PCT. Hike to top of Bald Mountain, steep hike but good trail and beautiful view worth the effort. Fishing wasn’t so good however I go for atmosphere as it is beautiful up here. Been coming here since about 1983.

We love this camping area! It’s truly one of our favorites. You’re camping right on the water 🙌🏼🙌🏼. Pack all of your water toys, lol, they have a dock station. Kids also love to jump off of it. You can kayak to such great scenery. The water is clear!!!!!! Very clear There are restrooms right next to the camping areas. Take some water shoes because the rocks hurt your feet. There is plenty of fishing there. It gets chilly so pack accordingly. There are no stores nearby so pack your food and snacks! Lock up your food.We haven’t experienced any bears at our sites but others reported so. It’s such a great spot. Love it
