Someone said "Set a date!"

So I did. 

What:  Family friendly camping, mountain biking, hiking, socializing, hanging out, cooking, exploring, geocaching...stuff you do outdoors, etc. etc. etc.

Where:  Mt. Laguna Campground, off of Sunrise Highway in San Diego.

When:  Friday, August 5th, through Sunday, August 7th

Book your reservations at this link:

Mt. Laguna/Reservation.gov Site

Please post here or PM me with your site number so I can update things and stay semi-organized.

As of 6/14/2016 there are five reservable campsites available in the Meadow Loop of the CG. 

Sites 007, 009, 016, 019, 021

The Shady Loop (close by) has even more.  These are all withing good walking proximity of each other if we get a big response, but with 2 vehicles and 8 peeps per site, if this works out, the Meadow Loop would accommodate 12 vehicles and 48 people...per the guidelines below.

The cost is $23.00 per night, and the details are:

Site Type: STANDARD NONELECTRIC
Site Reserve Type: Site-Specific
Checkin Time: 2:00 pm
Checkout Time: 1:00 pm
Type of Use: Overnight
Min Num of People: 1
Max Num of People: 8
Max Num of Vehicles: 2
Driveway Surface: Gravel
Driveway Entry: Back-In
Max Vehicle Length: 35
Shade: Partial
Capacity/Size Rating: Single
Fire Pit: Y


Sharing sites is a good way to save a little $$$

This is a nice CG, with water bibs scattered throughout the CG, pit toilets in the Meadow Loop, but showers and flush toilets available within walking distance if you want cush for your tush.  And the showers are nice, $1.50 for 6 minutes of sunscreen cleansing joy...and are clean.

Each site has its own fire ring, a drive in spot for two rigs (knightrider and I have shared a site here, there is plenty of room), and most spots are shaded by trees.  All campsites are within walking/riding distance to the singletrack...Big Laguna Trail, Penny Pines, sections of The Pacific Crest Trail, Noble Canyon...the list goes on.  The trails here are...awesome.  Not really any wheeling to be had near the CG...but this trip isn't so much about that.  It's more about getting outdoors together and hanging out and camping...

There is a local store in Mt. Laguna, about 2 miles south of the CG for e-supplies, and the town of Julian is a 20 minute drive north if you need more pie for your hole...but winners stop on the way in to grab a Dutch Apple @ Julian Pie Co. to gnosh by the fire.

Speaking of fires...firewood is available from the camp host as well.  Or you can stop in Ramona and pay less there.  Either way, firewood is a non issue.

Hopefully this covers most of the Q's...but post up or PM me if you need more info.

Look forward to seeing everyone who can make it!  :) :) :)

Yea what Christiaan said.  There is everything from mild to wild. 

Noble canyon is probably the most wild well known trail out there but there is a ton of single track and normally not too many hikers and horses.

It's all mountain. Some people will take their DH bikes to ride down noble and shuttle back up but there is a loop you can ride as well
