Planning a campout at the Walker River State Recreation Area, in Yerington. Shooting out a date of June 10-12 or what ever will work best for everybody around that time frame. We need some input on this quickly so we can make reservations. We will decide on the date at the next meeting on April 6th. There are trails there for motorcycles, UTV’s, ATV’s and bicycle’s. You can also float or canoe the river.
This looks like a very nice area to camp: Walker River State Recreation Area. The camp could be the trailhead for a ride to Bodie. There is access to the south to a lot of OHV trails as well. I’d like to check this out.
You beat me to posting the camping weekend at Stampede/Boca area for June that I’d volunteered to organize at a past meeting. The only weekend in June I was able to make this happen on my calendar was for June 10, 11 & 12.
With that said, I’d love to go somewhere different to explore and I love what you and Kurt have posted.
I’d be totally up for putting Stampede/Boca on the back burner for another time and instead opting for the Walker River State Recreation Area.
How about if a plan was in place for either location on June 10-12? Then this summer when California is on fire we could go to the one that isn’t smoked out.
That said, if smoke is not an issue and I had to pick between the two I think I’d pick Walker River, since I’ve never been there. That’s just my $.02.
Ok here’s the deal
There was only on weekend open for walker site so I reserved it, June 10-12.
$25 for the group site reservation for the week end
$25 for full hookups 6 available, $10 for pass holders
$15 a night dry camp free for park pass holders
I am in for a dry camp, and I’m going to see if my wife can come (she normally works weekends). If Maura is with me we will bring our mountain bikes also.
FYI, I just checked with Walker River and only group site camping can be reserved. If there isn’t enough space in our group site the remaining camping is available on a first-come first-serve basis – no reservations.
