Noheart Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm in Washington camping with my trailer. I spent the last 6 days in Alta lake WA, it's high desert and hotter than hell, really nice place highly recommend if your sick of rain Anyway I'm going into the north cascades and was wondering if anyone has been through HWY 20 and where to stop ect. Or if anyone had any good or bad experiences anywhere camping I'd like to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Pff camping with a trailer isn't camping. Tent bro. Went twice last year, both times awful rainy weather in June but great times with about 8 of us either way. I don't know any camp sites in that location. All I know is i'll never recommend Allouette Lake camp grounds to anyone. Its overpriced, the rules are too strict and the camping isn't even nice. If you want to do real camping, go hike somewhere with a supplies and camp in the middle of no where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 At this stage of my life I am 4 for 4 on it raining during when I go camping. And I second the Allouette Lake sucks statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBUTANS Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Most guys hate it when I camp but I'm not too good at COD. I do it anyway, I usually hide at corners inside buildings and wait for other players to show up. I guess, to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Campsites suck, but if you like it I say GO FOR IT because it keeps people out of the backcountry. BC has unbelievable backcountry access by logging road. Anyone interested should pick up a copy of "Scrambles of Southwestern BC", that book is my bible. And just to make you jealous, this weekend I start a 2 week trek through the Bernese Alps. The Eiger ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for the info, when the kids are broke in I plan on taking them into the wild, I know the nordegg Alberta area really well, use to hike up the black stone with back packs and fly fish for days.

Kyle0811 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Tenquille is quite easy and nice, there's also a few day hikes around the campsite. Joffre Lakes is pretty easy as well. though not a lot of camping spots near the upper lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. White Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I go camping at least once a year (usually more like 3-4). Trailers are lame. Tenting is real camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostViking Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I love to camp, but I prefer backpacking to regular camping. I could never camp in a trailer, and haven't used a tent in ages. I usually take a hammock, nice a comfortable and incredibly lightweight, with a fly on top and mesh on the sides you keep the bugs/rain out really well. It does take a bit of setup if its quite windy, because you'll have to block the wind from hitting the bottom of the hammock or it will be very cold, but a few cedar boughs stacked on the ground under you does the trick quite well. I'm doing a trip up mount Cheam pretty soon, and hoping to explore the area around hope this summer, but to be honest I can't wait for summer to be over so winter camping season can begin. Less people in the back country and no bugs = far better camping, plus in the summer we usually have friends who are casual campers who want to tag along, nothing worse than roughing it with someone who is used to a tent, giant cooler of food, truck full of gear, etc. I literally just got off the phone with a friend who wants to come up Cheam with us... and bring his high maintenance fiance and two kids, needless to say he isn't invited.
