Totally fine campground
This is a short post just to note that we liked staying in this location. Is it pretty? Not really. Is it by a lake? Nope. Does it have a burbling little creek flowing past it? Nah. But what it lacks in Instagram worthiness is totally compensated by the fact that it has great cell service and is located at the bottom of the Lakes Basin Path, rather than the top. This means you can do all the hard work of climbing to hikes or lakes or other outdoor activities at the start of the day, and bask in the downhill whoosh at the end when you’re tired. You can walk, or bike, to fun little shops or restaurants for dinner, and you can top up on groceries, gas, propane, anything you need super easily. We liked it.
Service and convenience for the win
And if you’re going to book there for the cell service, we note that the sites closer to the road have the best service. Once you get past site 128, the campground drops downhill and the signal starts to get weak. Some of the sites are short, so that must be noted when making the reservation. The one we got, and 129 across from it, are both a little apart from others, and have all the benefits we enjoy. We’d do those again next time we come.
Total miles from Coldwater: 6.5, 22.9 mpg, 45 min. Site 128 no hookups. $10 dump. Good dump with rinse water and potable water. Excellent cell service for both. Some solar. Great proximity to all town things. Right by the Lakes Basin Path.
