Very nice, adding the drone surveys to your reconnaissance! And I like this campground, not too far from del Norte which I like to visit on occasion. Rugged roads and small parking areas, just the way I like it! The RV with the make shift 6 ft high tongue jack, trying to get level on these USFS camping spots was... well, interesting.
@CampgroundReconКүн бұрын
lol! It was crazier seeing it again during the editing process. Driving by, I think I said it was a good RV spot since it had a trailer! Site right before it was level and a couple after it were too.

Curious can you comment on how large a rig you think could go into the sites?
@CampgroundRecon2 күн бұрын
Forest service website says 35 to 40 feet for almost all of the campsites here. I don’t think that is accurate for half of them. I’d say don’t go in the first loop with anything over 25 feet.

@CampgroundRecon7 күн бұрын
We revisted the falls this last weekend and will have drone footage coming over the next couple of months. Bristol Head Campground and North Clear Creek Campground are a couple of my favorites in the area. Lots of dispersed camping too. We have videos of both from 6 years ago. Recorded them again over the weekend with newer cameras.

Thanks for the review and the great views. May have to give it a try late September or early October when I'm out for some leaf peeping. Really enjoyed the drone scenery!! Question: at these NFS campgrounds that are posted as open year 'round, do the pit toilets remain open and usable? The USFS website states that water and trash service are not avaiable but I could find no mention of pit toilet accessibility?
@CampgroundRecon8 күн бұрын
I've seen it both ways. Probably 50/50 on whether the outhouse is locked or not in the middle of winter. If the snow isn't covering the road, likely they will be unlocked.

Camped there with my daughter a few times from 2004 to 2007. Awesome campground. Big campsites. Lovely beach. Trails galore. Two of the four loops have flush toilets (but no showers, unfortunately). The store at the corner of the main road where it meets the road to the campground has showers to use for a fee-- at least it did back in '07.

We love this campground and have hiked Willow Creek Trail many times. There's actually 4 tent camp sites. One of them is site #0. It looks like on your video that the sign wasn't there for it, so it makes it look like Site #1 has 2 picnic tables and 2 fire rings. 😊 Maybe that's how it used to be?! 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing, guys!

Stopped in at O'haver about 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday. No availability, booked solid. It is a nice place but it's too close to a populated area to hope to just pull in and get a site. The poor camp host already had a line of people there at 9 in the morning, bugging him for availability. I saw him struggling to keep everyone straight so i finally thanked him for his time and left. We were caught up in that situation last year north of pagosa springs, people were flat asses about hovering over the campers that were getting ready to leave and some even unloaded some their items right in around the current campers as the packed up.. Don't get me wrong, i watch your videos all the time but i look for dispersed. Less idiots is a positive...
