Mount Laguna Car Camp

August 26, 2018 – By Doan Hohmeyer 2 Comments

Let’s go camping!

The North County Group of the Sierra Club is hosting a car camping trip for up to 30 people in the beautiful Laguna Mountains.

Spend the weekend or just spend a day exploring the area if you have an Adventure Pass. You provide all the fixin’s for traditional car camping; pretty much anything you can fit in your car. The $35.00 fee covers the campsite, firewood, organized day hikes, and a Sunday pancake breakfast. Sorry, no RVs.
