Camping in Calavaras Big Trees?

Posted by: admin | Comments (1)

I’m organizing a church group campout to Calavaras Big Trees SP (California) and have 30+ people from 2-70years old. Does anyone know if the North Grove loop is strolller-passable? One of the families has a 3 year old with medical issues that can’t walk and I don’t want to exclude them. Any other suggested day hikes for some of the more adventurous? Is there accessible fishing or do you need to drive to the river from the North Grove campsite? I heard there was a lake a half hour drive away… is it worth the trip? Any other advice/suggestions on the park would be welcome.
Yep, the reservations were made a while back, but I’m now planning group activities and was hoping for a suggestion of a trail that someone knew for sure was wide enough for the stroller so they could “hike” with us. I was looking at the “easy” 1.5mi. North Grove loop and wondered if any of the Y! bunch had actually been there.
My hubbie is bringing both fly and spinning rods and will trek quite a ways for some solitude :-) but we were wondering if there were any spots where the bank was accesible for the kids.

When I was camping in Pennsylvania, we chopped up dead trees for firewood. The little wood chips were glowing in the dark, sort of a green-yellowish tint. Has anyone ever seen this? Any idea what would cause this?
