Camp Spot

Swimming In The Stars

Polihale State Park, HI

"A solo backpacking trip took me all over Kauai last fall, and I fell asleep here on Polihale Beach to the sound of waves booming as they collided with the shore.

The stars were so bright it felt like I was swimming in them. In the morning I awoke to a double rainbow shining down into the ocean, and wandered the beach with only the feral cats for company."

Mt. Lassen Base Camp

A campspot nearly in the “shadows” of Mt. Lassen is the ideal resting point on a cold, full moon-lit night.

Dawn Patrol

Frosty morning sunrises complement the nearby hot springs at this campspot off Hwy 395.

Lodgepole

Dark sky views at Lodgepole Campground is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular campspot in Sequoia National Park.
