campgrounds near Twin Mo?

[Jason Berard]

I'm planning a camping weekend with my family, and the in-laws, and want to be in the Twin Mountain area, and I'm wondering if there is anything to distinguish Sugarloaf 1,2, and Zealand campground from each other.....thanks!

The details on line were a bit fuzzy, and I know I can count on the vast reservoir of knowledge on Views.

hi Jason

I stay at Sugarloaf 2 on a regular basis and have for years..Quiet and peacefull .. good hiking to the Sugarloafs and a couple of local ponds..shaded private sites.. I like the ones above the river 18, 11, and some of the others in between.. A couple of good swimming holes near the bridge..
Sugarloaf 1 has a shaded private sites as well but away from the river
Zealand has the river and the added bonus of 302 with cars zipping by
..I've got a reservation at Sugarloaf 2 last week of August as nephew Ben goes after a few more 4ks..Perhaps Princess Molly, now 7, will bag something as well..

Hope that helps

thanks, Mark! That helps!

Can you fit a pop-up on any of the sites, or is it tent only?

 

[Silverfox]

Almost all the sites will take a pop up..there are a few that won't due to elevation changes on the site.. 7,8,10,11,12, and 26 marked as tent only

 

[Jason Berard]

excellent! I'll make my reservations tomorrow!

Ditto!

All that Silverfox said! We like it there as well. The Sugarloafs are a great sunset/sunrise from there. You can reach the Rosebrooks from the service/fire roads in the other direction.

You might see this while you're there:

It's been awhile, but I remember a few good spots along the first part of the Sugarloaf trail. It wasn't very far from the trailhead, if I remember correctly.
