Favorite Campsite Photos

[Chris S]

The thread in the Philosophy & Technique forum got me thinking about some of my favorite campsites with a view, so I figured I'd start this thread for people to post photos of their favorites. I'll start with a few that I have handy.

Humphreys Basin

Sabrina Basin

Henry Coe

Big Sur

Little Five Lakes

[Ken Bennett]

Very nice.

Here's one of my favorite spots in Virginia:

[John Klinepeter]

I'll play.

Nice photos. It was about 40 years ago that I was in the Humphrey's Basin. Great area, just how I (ahem!) remember it.

This was a pretty nice couple of days. Teepee on the right bank :)

[David Noll]

Torres del Paine

West Coast Trail

Superior Hiking Trail

[Ryan Slack]

I'm not consistent on bringing a camera or taking pictures, but thought I could jump in with a sampling from over the years…

Back in college (Winona State) I got bored in the dorms and decided on an open-air bivy atop the local landmark "Sugarloaf" overlooking the town.

A couple canoe country sites: sunrise on Jasper Lake and early morning fog on Argo Lake, different trips in Quetico.

Two from atop a ridge with great views toward Glacier Peak in Washington (my brother took these).

He brought the tent for him and his dog and I brought the tarp and we made a palace:

Finally, my best campsite last summer on the Superior Hiking Trail:

…edit: just noticed that the same thrift store microfleece hat is in three photos!

Dang Andy, I need to go camping with you (and borrow your camera). Great pictures!

[Paul McLaughlin]

morning in the emigrant wilderness april 2005. A little more snow that year. This campsite on top of approximately 16 feet of snow (as per official snow survey measurement close by within a few days), and with about 4" of fresh overnight.

JMT Garnet Lake (Thx Valerie!)

The next morning

[Valerie E]

That bridge looks a lot like the one over the outlet of Garnet Lake… That would be my guess.

[Jennifer Mitol]

The view from my tent:

[Bob Moulder]

I think the Ministry of Tourism would pay you to take that one down, LOL!

Here are a few pictures from recent trips:

Overnighter in YNP in late December

Anniversary trip to San Simeon last weekend

All-time favorite campsite – Glacier Point, February 2015 – had it all to ourselves

Everybody knows this one

[Philip Tschersich]

I've done lots of beautiful trips here in the Kodiak Archipelago. Here is camp #2 and #3 from one of the hikes I did across the island:

I think it's pretty cool to be high in the alpine and almost always be able to see the ocean.

[Brad Rogers]

Phillip – what shelter is that?

[Philip Tschersich]

It was some OR singlewall shelter thing (Nighthaven?) I used for that trip, and that trip only. I hated it (too low, lots of condensation, floppy pitch) and it went away.
