Good places to camp????

[matttaylor1976]

Heading out for the weekend, and was planning on going to Eagle Lakes, however with the approaching storm, and the fact i've got 6 kids going, i'm thinking that EL isn't going to work.

SOOOOOO, what are some good camping spots that wont cost anything? I'd prefer to stay up here in the Grass Valley area, but i'm open to ideas.

Only free place I can think of that's not behind my locked gate is Lake Pillsbury or Cow Mt. And both are a drive from here.

Thanks for all the input, we're still looking around and finalizing plans. Looks like we'll be going sunday / monday now. Gotta get the GF's lift on and my lowers in before we go. If i find something good, i'll let you guys know.

I and some friends are going to Indian Valley Reservoir ( Google Maps ), you are more than welcome to join us.

Mostly it's going to be a sitting around / drinking. It is BLM land, so you can have fun, and we will be bringing toys to play with...

how far is indian valley reservoir?

Click the link! lol. It's not too far from Sac, some of my friends are coming from Folsom, thus why we are going there. There's no rocks really, but plenty of mud to get into more than enough trouble...

That's not too far, maybe 50 miles or so, i have to see how Saturday works out around here, and how much $$ we have left over. Thanks for the invite!

Yeah it's not too far... this will be my third time there, and each time it gets a tad bit better.

This was from the first time: http://www.tehlounge.com/t3nny/files/1/4x4nIndianValley/IMG_1238.jpg

I had to get a truck to pull me out, thankfully I found someone after hours...

The second time I didn't get stuck, but I pulled 2 people out (one was a friend, and one was a few people I found walking on the road looking for help.)


Also you can take the road over to clearlake if you want to do more sight seeing...
