Camp Spot

Lost Coast Trail

Lost Coast Trail, CA

"We reached a section of the trail that is impassible during high tide, so we decided to set up camp here for the night.

The campsite was on a slope, but waking up to this view was worth sacrificing sleep. We drank our morning coffee at the edge of the cliff, while watching the sunrise and listening to the sea lions talk."

Swimming In The Stars

Tough to find where the ocean ends and the stars begin at this campspot in Polihale State Park.

Camp Deception

It’s a slight bummer when the reverse gear of your 1975 VW Bus craps out while parked near a steep drop-off, but at least you can still camp out in it while waiting for the overall situation to improve.

Twin Lakes Night Sky

These campers learned a valuable lesson in the San Isabel National Forest: always have the camera ready due to Mother Nature’s unpredictability.
