  • Bitterbrush Campground
  • Inyo National Forest, Bishop CA
  • The first (lowest altitude) of the string of Inyo campgrounds on CA 168 west of Bishop. The campground itself is very much like Silver Lake CG on the June Lake Loop - exposed sites, not much shade, pleasant and quiet and level with a little stream running along the far edge.

  • Point Abalone Campground
  • California State Parks, Westport CA
  • A big shadeless rectangle of land on the top of a bluff overlooking the Pacific. The southernmost of three campgrounds at Westport Union Landing State Beach.

  • Whitmore Tubs
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Mammoth CA
  • Hot water pops out of the ground at numerous places around here. Get the Cal/Nev Hot Springs book for details. Today I went to the first one off Whitmore Tubs Road, called "Hot Tub" in the book, "Rock Tub" on the PDF. It was just excellent for one or two people. This is BLM land so I think you can camp. I did not this time.

  • Valley of Fire State Park, Arch Campground
  • Nevada State Parks, Overton
  • The park has stunning Utah-like weird-shaped colorful rocks, and it is a treat to stay here overnight.

  • Pelican Lake Campground
  • BLM, Vernal Office, Ouray UT
  • Very hot here. But it's a dry heat. The lake sounds kind of underwhelming from the BLM page, but there is a boat ramp and picnic area which looks like it has the best morning shade in this whole godforsaken acreage. The actual campground is a few hundred yards up the road before the boat launch. Once the sun got low it was really very pleasant there. Hawks and owls hanging out in the tree at my campsite!

  • Cove Creek Hot Springs
  • Sawtooth National Forest, Stanley, ID
  • Nice pullover off Highway 75 east of Stanley. Park and walk down to a little 2 person pool by the Salmon River. No shade, so you'll need a sun-blocking plan in the middle of the day.

  • Cisco Beach Campground
  • Bear Lake State Park, Utah, Laketown UT
  • Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, there were a few sites available at 3pm. I got what I hope is the least nasty. Bless my van for being tall enough to generate its own shade.

  • Spencer Hot Springs
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Austin NV
  • On the eastern side of the Great Smoky Valley,You could probably see it from US 50 if you knew where to look. Turns south off 50 onto 376, and almost immediately there is a turnoff to a pretty good gravel road heading straight as an arrow south into the flats. Follow that 6-ish miles, and you will find the hpt springs!

  • Chickahominy Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Hines OR
  • What a welcome place! There is a lot of nothing between Boise and Bend. I saw some RVs just pulled off at the side of the road, and a couple at the rest stop, but there's no real place to stop for 100 miles except a couple of high-end RV palaces in Burns. So thank goodness for this pleasant stop.

  • Perry Riffle
  • Sacramento Bend Recreation Area, Bend CA
  • It pays to call the ranger! I called about spring flowers on these riverside trails (not yet he said), and as long as I was there asked about staying overnight. He said the all the other parking areas were day use only, but the one at the end of the road - Perry Riffle (cool name!) - allows it. So here I am, feeling very pleased about life.
