One of the ideas Benny and I had when we decided to be full time RVers was to be a Campground Host. Our wish was to host at one of our absolutely favorite places. So back in the summer of 2017 we tracked down the Ranger to let him know we were interested. Our plan was to do some travelling and then hopefully by April we'd start hosting. Snow delayed the opening of the campground.
Benny and I are excited to share that we are the Campground Host at Calaveras Big Trees State Park!
Our wish is finally a reality and we hope its a better experience then at Laguna Seca
First off let me tell you about Big Trees. So as you can see I titled my blog "Living Amongst the Giants" and we really are surrounded by Giants! Can you find Benny amongst this Giant?
Big Trees is located in Arnold California which is in the Sierra Nevadas. It is the home of Giant Sequoia Redwoods. This was the home of the Pioneer Cabin Tree that fell during last years winter storms. The Cabin tree was a 2000 year old tree. Back in the 1800's a land owner cut a hole through it so buggies could drive through it. The second picture is how it looks now. It's very sad to see it laying on the ground.
We will be settled here for a few months. Some of our duties include light housekeeping, selling firewood, collecting fees, and basically keeping an eye on the campground. We are so amazed and blessed to have this as our backyard. There are a lot of hiking trails for us to explore. I'm told there's a yearling bear roaming around so im excited to see my first bear!!
Enjoy these pictures and think about coming up this way to camp. Big Trees offers lots of campsites. Lake Alpine is about half an hour away and Whitepines Lake is about 10 minutes away.
