    • Panamint Springs Resort
      Near death Valley and in the park. They have 12 spaces with full hook-ups and the rest with water. As of Spring 2005, the cost for a water only site was $15.00 per night. Clean facilities, good location.
    • Fernwood Resort Big Sur
      This is a pricey place but so is Big Sur. The sites have electricity and water. The camp is in a valley with trees and grass and is right next to the Big Sur River ( which looked more like a creek to me). The facilities were clean. I liked it.
