 Agroforest
Camping
Welcome to our agroforest camping page. We are planning a unique style of
camping in our agroforest.
Picture - One of 4
proposed campsites. This campsite is well above the reservoir and has a
beautiful 180 degree view of same.
There will be a total of 4 campsites which can be used by reservations only.
They will be unique in the sense that there will be food growing along the
trails with harvesting instructions. Campers will then be able to pick their own
fresh food and cook at the campsite.
A bit more detail about the campsites. |
 Proposed
Campsites
This map, along with the following information, explains the proposed campsites
and also serves as a progress report. The hiking trail to campsite #2 is now
complete, with a few rough spots still requiring some leveling out. Campsite #2
is closer to completion with many of the understory trees now removed and the
leaves raked up....all this after only six days of work. |
- Campsite #1 - AKA
Star View Campsite - Located on the
northernmost section of the forest, this campsite has a 180 degree view of
the reservoir with a great view of the stars. This campsite backs to a paved
walking path and is the closest (about a six minute hike) to a public source
of drinking water and bathrooms including flush toilets. Future plan: There
will be a small wooden table with seats and a barbeque area along with a
level grade to accommodate a tent which sleeps up to 4 people.
- Campsite #2 - AKA
Sunrise Campsite - Located on the other side
of the inlet from Star View Campsite, this campsite is also north facing and
has a 180 degree view of the reservoir with sunrise and partial sunset
views. This campsite partially backs to a paved walking path and is also
close (about a four minute hike) to a public source of drinking water and
bathrooms including flush toilets. Future plan: There will be a small wooden
table with seats and a barbeque area along with a level grade to accommodate
a tent which sleeps up to 4 people.
- Campsite #3 - AKA
Sunset Campsite - Located in the same area as
Sunrise Campsite, this campsite is west facing and has a 180 degree view of
the reservoir to the northwest with a fantastic sunset view. This campsite
is also close (about a 12 minute hike) to a public source of drinking water
and bathrooms including flush toilets. This campsite is semi remote and is
for those who desire peace and quiet along with a degree of privacy. Future
plan: There will be a small wooden table with seats and a barbeque area
along with a level grade to accommodate a tent which sleeps up to 4 people.
- Campsite #4 - AKA
Full Moon Campsite - Located on the other
side of the inlet from Sunset Campsite, this campsite is north facing and
has a 180 degree view of the reservoir to the northwest with a great view of
the full moon. This campsite is the most remote of the four and is for those
who desire peace and quiet along with total privacy. Please note it is a
long hike (15 - 20 minutes) to the entry of the agroforest and another 10
minutes to the bathrooms. Future plan: There will be a small wooden table
with seats and a barbeque area along with a level grade to accommodate a
tent which sleeps up to 4 people.
- Day Use Area - AKA
Lover's Point - This is a northwest facing
section of the agroforest with an almost panoramic view of the reservoir.
Future plan: There will be a small wooden table with seats where you and
your lover can enjoy a meal and a nice glass of Cabernet. Please note there
are no camping facilities at this point.
