A view of Big Bear Lake! Lots of shade. Room for a few tents and vehicles. Down a spur road.

YP1 will be the next YP we stay at. 2N04X will need a bit of brushing on the way in.

If you're talking about the GPX, Sarah posted it. Doug only had the GDB. :wave:

I can't dl the gpx files, is it because i need to upgrade my account? UPgrading says you can upload pics but does not mention dl of files.

thanks for the help

many many thanks for this. no GPS yet, but the physical maps with yellow post campsites labeled are much clearer than the ones that the discovery center gives out, plus the topos make them easy to compare to my other maps.

Just went on vacation in Big Bear, got yellow map with yellow posted campsites. You say you have something clearer. I don't have a GPS. Got maps, but yellow posts aren't on them. Where to get more info on yellow posted campsites?

SBNF website has info... Poet just drives to them all and GPS's them in I think. He seems to get up to BB A LOT!

ok what's the deal with the yellow post campsite? are they free? first come first served? can you have campfires? my kids are just getting ready to do some camping, and when I was a kid we camped wherever we decided to stop, but now there are so many rules and laws, you can't do that I guess... is there a book about this stuff?

Here's the website for the YP info. (Scroll towards the bottom)

And if you need a recreation pass:

can you have campfires?

Currently no campfires are allowed at YP sites.
