I am in Central California and would love to find others with children to go camping with. I have twin girls who are 4 and a 1 year old girl. We love to go camping at Pismo Beach, and in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We really like Camp Edison at Shaver Lake.
Hello fellow central CA family-camper! My wife, 2.5 year old daughter, and I just stepped up from a tent to a TT and are looking to put it to good use. Have you ever camped up at Eastman Lake? Several of my friends and relatives camp up there and they really enjoy it. We will be taking our first trip up there for either Memorial Day weekend or the weekend before. Also, do you know of any good spots to camp out towards Kings Canyon (prefer either dry camping or small campgrounds)?
I have not camped at Eastman Lake, however I hear it is a lot of fun up there. I typically go to Shaver Lake and stay at Camp Edison. As for Kings Canyon, Cedar Grove has several camp sites that are trailer friendly. I think all of them are dry spots along the river. Have to be careful about the bears at Kings Canyon. The two trips that I took to KC we encountered bears in the camp ground both times. Makes it a little exciting when you walk out of your trailer and there is a bear twenty feet away from you. Another fun place to go is up to Dinkey Creek, which is about 10 miles from Shaver Lake. They have several spots off the side of the road that are great for dry camping. I have spent the last 8 memorial weekends up there. Last year we even had snow.
