About this Adventure
Join us for a queer camping trip in Tahoe National Forest. We're looking for 12 campers to spend three nights together at a quiet reservoir in the northern Sierra. This trip is specifically for members of the LGBTQ+ community - sorry, allies, this one's just for us.
It's a chance to connect with fellow queer folks in a welcoming, relaxed, nature-filled setting: swimming, hiking, lounging in hammocks, making s'mores under the stars, and soaking up the beauty of summer together.
Cost: $30 per person to help cover the campsite share.
What you'll need: You're responsible for your own transportation and camping gear. We'll set up a shared spreadsheet so people can offer or request rides and gear once accepted.

Accessibility
Per recreation.gov, a few sites at this campground are wheelchair-accessible and the roads and parking spurs throughout the campground are paved. There are vault toilets, and a handicap-accessible restroom serves the section we'll be at. Drinking water is on-site.
Recreation.gov doesn't publish a full list of which specific sites are wheelchair-designated, and access details like distance from each site to water or to the nearest paved trail aren't published per site. For site-specific access questions, the American River Ranger District (Tahoe National Forest) at 530-492-5631 is the authoritative source.
