Camping Options

Most campgrounds don't take reservations. Campgrounds close to the start will be full by Friday evening. Consider arriving before June 12 to be sure to get a spot. Why not come for the whole week before the ride and get acclimated to the altitude?
Caltrans, CHP, and the Sheriff's Department will not allow anyone to spend the night parked on the shoulder of nearby highways and roads. If you just want a place to park and sleep in your car, see the Airport Rd. Overnight Area below.

Airport Rd. Overnight Area

The second closest camping area to the start is an undeveloped campground bordering the county landing strip just off Airport Rd.

Park under the trees and do not pass the signs that indicate you are entering airport land.
