Hahaha but seriously worth it. Just pray no one is going the opposite directions because backing down would make me cry. I was in a small 5th wheel and our spot 4 was too small even though it says it's for RV's. Gets really hot during the summer months, around 106 when we were there. Lots of mosquitos and tiny flies that follow you and go up your nose and mouth like a big bug cloud. We wore a bug net.

Don't go here so I can keep enjoying the campsite. It's nice, quiet, and just nice to be thereread more

On a road trip from LA to a national park, my friend Denise and I stopped at Pyramid Lake to…read morestretch our legs and witness the majestic waves that Mother Nature can introduce with a slow roll. When we first arrived, we pulled off at a spot that was the Lake but not the part of the lake that had the expansive water stretch. This part of the lake was so long in length that the water seemed to reach past infinity into the very moment where it all begin-- the point of creation that can be described as the bing bang or the celestial light was turn on, or something else all together. Who am I to judge how someone believes that this lake and all other molecules and atoms were created? I can appreciate beauty without knowing its first source. When we stepped into the first part of the lake we approached a fishermen. He explained that this part was the smaller part of the lake and if we drove a bit, we would see the bigger part. What he neglected to say to us, is that we had to leave the smaller part of the lake get into freeway to get to the bigger part of the lake. Eventually Denise and I figured it out but it took some wrong terms and clearer directions from a park ranger. What was grand about speaking with this fishermen was that I was able to see the carcasses of fish he had caught. I describe it as grand but in reality the moment was grim for I saw multiple fish caught in a hook, still in the water. What was once their area of splash and play now was their grave. I guess that is why people should not see how the sausage is made, for we will know that death is required to make a beautiful plate sing with a protein at the center. I digress. Once we got to the large area of the lake, where the water stretched like I said before, we were welcomed to the type of serenity that only still water can produce within humans and fowl. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the glistening beauty all around but I did take a few. For instance there is this picture where the lake begins, after a boardwalk ends, and the water continues past mountains into the sky. The water and sky did not become one but they seemed to meet at point of convergence. Furthermore, in this picture, there is a single boat, barely visible, but it is there. The boat goers were living the moment to the max. Denise and I just walked a bridge that took us to the water's edge but these folks, in the boat, were dancing with nature. The dance was slow, not tedious, and the movement was graceful, like those performed by members of a ballet company. The boat goers were the swans in the dance, they were the swans swimming calmly along. I asked a lake worker if Denise and I could get in a boat for like 10 to 15 minutes just so we can say we experienced the boat in the water and the day to the max. We were not allowed, we needed to shell 150 for an hour rental. We did not have the time to enjoy the lake to this max. I guess sometimes, people only have time to smell a rose, they do not have time to cultivate one of their very own. The place was not lush or rustic. It was more simple nature left undisturbed. It's growth and water were the kind of work that makes me understand why some people escape to the woods and to the beach. Because in places like this, where nature holds might, problems do not exist. It is only the cherished traits of nature that remain, and I guess this is why these places remain as oases or is it osai or osaieses? As Denise and I were leaving the bigger part of the lake we saw the most wonderful thing, a rock formation with a pyramid in front of its face. We discovered why this lake was named Pyramid Lake. It turns out that the detour was part of the journey all along. True about this roadtrip true about life.

Toaster and microwave ovens available and plenty of power outlets to charge equipment. Restrooms are clean and not as rough as I thought it would be. Quite nice actually and clean no signs of flies or gnats inside. Two stall showers have running hot water and powerful pressure. Plenty of paper towel & toilet paper in cubby and small mirror mounted on the wall. The camp grounds are of dirt and rocks with beautiful towering trees all around. There are several site locations to choose from but the main one is spacious with large built in barbecue grilling stations within the area and several benches and water spigots accessible to all. Site personnel are very helpful and the atmosphere is relaxing. This time of the month was warm with perfect cool breezes to counter the heat. Chilly actually when in the shade. The night was brick cold this time of year but with a good sleeping bag and insulating tent, the bodies heat up the insides and cozying up with the family is the best part of camping in my book. And the moonlight in the forest was like having your own personal nightlight. Just beautiful! This happy camper is looking forward to returning next year!

I couldn't be happier to see that the camp is still thriving and the property renovations are just incredible. What a gift Camp Lakota has been to thousands and thousands of girls like myself, where for just a while, every summer, we had a place to go to feel sane and unafraid!!

This is one of the best campgrounds in the area. The drive there is about 15 miles on bumpy dirt…read moreroad. (We could not find the shortcut route) that's 5 miles. So we followed some signs from Lake Hughes Road and ended up driving on an old road that had another (dirt) road steeply ascending up a grassy mountain. We later passed a nice place called Bear Campground but it was full. We also saw a sign for Atwood Meadows Campground and turned there. The road got too washed out, but we hiked down and it was also nearly full (apparently it was a jeep and ATV group using all these sites). We finally arrived around sunset and found the campground to be fairly quiet compared to the other camps. We got a site down a mountain slightly, under a gigantic pine tree. Some large oak trees were also dotted around the site. This area also has a water spigot but it was shut off (it's overgrown with weeds and has a lot of bees). Just bring your own water because the spigot may be off. We were originally staying for 2 nights but stayed for 4 nights and went back to Atwood meadow and did a hike to a gorge (15 miles on the dot - very overgrown in one section but we found a better way back that was much less overgrown)

Only saw one other group of campers and they seemed to be day camping so we ended up being the only ones for a night and a day.. on Saturday like we saw only two more campers but that was all, pretty nice and quiet. There was lots of wind so secure your tents well! Lots of free firewood everywhere and the pacific crest trail is super near, word of advice try your hardest to get a hold of a map. Strongly recommend if you have an off road vehicle the road here will probably be loads of fun ! Just be very careful and safe on the way up ! I do not recommend RVs or a small car like I did because it was very scary, the roads are not pavement at all.. there more of a back road feel, very uneven, and can be very dangerous. Also the toilet isn't that bad, kind of smelly but it's a toilet..There is NO running water at all so bring extra ! Mostly clean, lots of wood chips, stumps, and logs , some left over items from a previous camper but it was an axe and rope, which ended up being useful so it was okay. Grab a adventure pass for the night at the 711 in Lake Hughes only $5 a night, not sure of where else to get get them honestly.. drive safe !

The cabins are really clean and have bunk beds galore that squeak a little but are sleepable. The main lodge is great for meals and they have a ton of games for the kids. They even have a stage for the kids to do skits. The camp is on the north side of a mountain above 6000 ft so the snow stays around for a while. This year we went up there and had a blast making sled runs and snow men as well as many snow forts/igloos. The food was decent camp food and they really cater to kids offering healthy kid friendly options. It was my son's first real time in the snow and it was quality father son time that I'll never forget. Thanks so much Camp St Nicholas for a great winter camp experience.
