OHV Camping and Riding

That's the word I've heard.

It looks like Mammoth Lakes/June Lake area is starting to open, or getting ready to open. Some of the FS campgrounds are open, not all, need to check first.

Some of the Bridgeport area opened, and I think the Virginia Lakes area opened as well.

Yes I've got my eye on a few places there. Do you know if you can get to Devils Postpile via an OHV route?

There is a ton of riding near Mammoth Lakes. However, . . .

Mammoth Lakes/ June Lake is pretty much still shutdown. Campgrounds closed. I'll be surprised if they open this summer. Not sure if people are dispersed camping in the forest, outside of the campgrounds.

Normally a good campground is Glass Creek between Mammoth and June Lakes - which you can ride out of.

No you can't OHV to Devil's Postpile. You can only drive there during the off-season, normally middle of summer you have to shuttle there from the ski area.

Hey John - You might have better luck in the Destinations section of the Toy Hauler forum. Let me know if you want me to move this thread over there, or you can open a new thread yourself.

No matter what though, don't forget to check the regulations in the state where you plan to ride. :B

Speaking of that, what's your UTV and where do you usually ride? Just being nosey.

It is always a good idea to check the OHV rules for each state you wish to explore. Some require purchasing a permit. Some permits are reciprocal between states while others are not. Sometimes there aren't permit vendors open or near the destination.

Thanks Clint, I actually have done quite a bit of research. I'm hoping to get some anecdotal feedback from the brain trust regarding places to camp and ride from that campground. Do you have any suggestions that pertain to the thread topic?

Thank you for making me aware of the Oregon Safety course. I was not aware of that.
