Here are a few shots from our first camping trip last year. We drove to Lake Tahoe and the only site that was available was a parking spot about 100ft from the highway :(

My wife did not care for the spot at all and neither did I. Luckily there in Tahoe we had cellphone service and she was able to find another camp site about half an hour away, and so we set off to find it.
I should have known better than to listen to google... it sent me on a dirt road that was washed out in area's and had some pretty deep ruts. After about 20 minutes on this dirt road (at an average 3mph) we found an intersection where I was able to do a three point turn.

So we head back to the highway, and continue on our way to the next campground we see, which happened to be about 5 minutes from the dirt road :) We didn't need any reservations and the camp ground was near vacant. We had our choice of sites and found one that was perfect!


We were pretty far from the highway, and this highway was much less traveled. It made for a much more peaceful nights rest. :)
