CAMPING FRIENDS NEEDED!!

Trying to get some folks from the forum that live/camp in the west to get together with on weekend camping trips.
We are close to Lake Tahoe and need some new friends to camp with.
There are a ton of places within a couple hours of our home.
PM me if you want to get together:)

  • Ok - we are pretty close to you in Gardnerville. I try to book travel with some lead time.

    We are going to be at Silver Lake campground off the June Lake Loop Memorial Day weekend.

    Going to Lakeview Oregon the week of June 20th with the Desert Vagabonds RV group. (Mom's the Wagon Master).

    We're planning on a week or two in Hope Valley this summer as well. No date yet.

    When DOES your spring camping season start? :C
  • We have the same issue here, with finding someone to go out with. We use to have a big group that ranged from a couple campers up to close to 10. Now it seems like everyone that we camped with has given up on the fun. I wish there was a site that you could trust to help you find good people to camp with. I am hesitant to use Craigslist, never know what you might get there.
  • look into rvillage and also check for Good Sam chapters in your area, we belong to our local club and have something going on every month.
  • We also love to make new friends while camping. It just makes sense since we have quite a bit in common with other campers/RVers. Unfortunately, we're in Arizona or we'd take you up on your offer.

    Let me make a suggestion. Try this fairly new website

    Meetup Web Site

    It has multiple group activities that you can sign up for. You can even create your own and specify what your looking for in group activities. Note: It does have a dating application, but you can ignore that aspect of it.

    Let me know how it works out.

  • We have the same problem living here in Fresno. Have tried finding a camping group but most have limited membership or require a referral by another club member. I've even put the same basic post as yours on craigslist with no results. We're at least 5 hours from you but if you want, send me a pm when you make plans to go somewhere and maybe we could meet up. I hope you have better luck than we have :)
