This place rocks!!!!! Gotta go back... book this place on Dec 1st for June... or Jan 1 for July. We had site 19, which was pretty sweet. 20 & 21 would be nice too if you got both of them. 1 is also nice, but far from the potty.
There are many options in reaching the campsite:
- BOAT IN - you can park your car at DL Bliss (after unloading, it's actually a long hike up to the overnight lot - maybe 3/4 of a mile?) and boat in. Go in the morning when there is less chance of windy conditions. The 4 mile paddle is beautiful, but depending on the conditions it could get quite tough. You can also boat in from other spots, but I think DL Bliss is the closest option.
- HIKE IN - you can park and hike the Rubicon Trail from DL Bliss... the trail is pretty amazing too, so this isn't a bad option... it just takes a lot more effort to carry in your cooler, family size tent, etc... This should be your backup plan in case the water is choppy. Actually, what you can do if you have little kids, or don't want to walk very far is to park at Emerald Bay SP, and just walk down the service road... which is like 1/2 a mile. There is no overnight parking there, so one of you will have to go park it and run back to camp... or get a ride.
