Woot! We have five campsites along the shady side of Dorst Campground's Fashionable Loop E.
There's room for 20 people ... so the first to chime in with a definite committment of money will get the prized spots at the Swankamping of the Century.
The camping fee is going to be $50 per person. Payment to
will guarantee your spot on the tour.
There's also a $20 one-time National Park entry fee per vehicle. Oh, and whatever you'll spend on vittles, camping gear, and camp decorations.
From our campground, there's a wonderful hike to the Muir Grove of giant Sequoias ... far more secluded and intitmate than the more touristy groves near parking lots and vending machines. Also accessible from our campsite is a shorter hike to Little Baldy, an exposed granite dome with a panaramic view of the Sierras.
We're planning a day trip to nearby Kings Canyon, and other adventures are possible to Crystal Caverns or Tokopah Falls.
Besides the optional adventure excursions, there will be plenty of lounging at the swankiest camp west of the Mississippi, gourmet camp cookouts, and bonding sessions around the campfire.
The campsites are available starting Thursday, June 28, and people are free to stay through and including Monday night, July 2.
