First time Primitive Camping - BOWMAN LAKE - Tahoe National Forest

[@NolimitracingRC]

Bowman is great place I go up there alot

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

It's an awesome place to disconnect for sure.

[@broinsocali]

Looks like fun. Which national park pass did you guys and gals use?

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

No need for a pass at this spot....it was first come first serve. Definitely a fun time! Need to go early to secure a spot.

[@broinsocali]

@@LaineyhulaAdventures ok thank you.

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

@@broinsocali No problem! :) Here's more info: www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tahoe/recarea/?recid=55584

Hi Lainey! Would Hyundai Santa Fe make it? 😬

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Hi Denise, it would be tough but it is doable (as long as not during winter time). I think we saw a RAV4 made it through.

[@martharunstheworld]

I love Bowman Lake! I've spent a lot of time hiking through the mountains around there, camping primitive like you! So much fun!!! Thanks for the great video!

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

So glad to hear that! It was an awesome place indeed! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Nice. Had to look it up on Google Maps, we're 2 hours away. Doesn't look like your first time primitive camping! You look like pros!

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Haha, thanks! Always up for an adventure!

[@BlazzinTech]

Can you tell me the name of the campsite which you guys camped?? I am looking at many videos and don't want to do any crazy 4 wheeling

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Bowman Lake....not sure if the campground has a name... my relative planned everything.

Bowsome!!! 👏👏👏😘

[@ofsunandsea]

Lol nice play on words!

[@tomko3227]

Just found you guys. Nice and beautiful. And thanks for the warnings. 4x4 and high clearance. Mine is a 4x4 Mitsubishi outlander. Guess not quite capable to handle it.

[@mlagatuz]

Yo! Looks amazing!

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Thanks for watching, Mark!

[@gregorykarimian3813]

Ate meron akong stock Chevy Silverado trail boss Kayan ba yan? Or do I need to get some 35s before I head out there?

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

I think that should be fine. 👍

[@moeykumar]

Hey awesome vid! Thinking of heading there in the coming weekends. Do you think a stock 4x4 will make it there? And this is bowman campground right?

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Thanks for watching! Yeah should be fine. And yes we stayed at the primitive campsites at Bowman Lake. No reservations, so it's first come, first serve. Recommend getting there early on the weekend or go during the weekdays to get a spot.

[@moeykumar]

LaineyHula thanks for the info! Define early?

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

We left the Dublin/East Bay at 3:30am, pit stop at Emigrant Gap for food, then got to the campsite around 9am. We actually got really lucky with that camp spot! The road is bumpy so be prepared. The campsites were not numbered from what I noticed, so you'll just have to really keep an eye out once you get to the lake.

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Also note, absolutely no cell service.

[@moeykumar]

LaineyHula awesome! You’re a life saver! I’m in the east bay too! This will be our first overland/dry camping adventure! No cell service wow gift and a curse, Did you use a gps?

[@collaborationexperimentati9227]

Beautiful spot with gorgeous views! Breakfast looked good too. haha, your dad joke :D nice spot for a walk, was the driving that bad? lol Wow, enough food for a small army! id want to try everything and end up in a food coma. Those boards are really neat, never tried one. Dam, nice vid, hehehe see what i did there?

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Thanks for watching! Haha, yes I see what you did there! We had way too many dam jokes lol. The off-road driving really wasn't that bad, as long as the vehicle has high clearance it's all good. Bowman Lake is a perfect getaway to spend time in nature.

[@nengmoua89]

Nice video and camping ground! We are thinking about going there next month for a family camping. If you don't mind me asking, can you show me the locations? It gonna be our first time going there and not sure where to go.. thank.. beautiful family by the way!

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Oh awesome! It's a beautiful place. I actually didn't drive so couldn't give you the exact coordinates sorry but I'm sure if you check on Google Maps you should be able to find it.

[@ivanrobles765]

Do you need a camping permit to get there??

[@LaineyhulaAdventures]

Hi Ivan! When we went, it was first come first serve. No reservations. I don't think we got a permit.
