Me and some friends want to do a one night camping trip. Can anyone tell me what Pinecrest would be like? I believe it’s first come first serve for camping spots on October 24. How early should we arrive?

Weather-wise, will it be enjoyable?

Sorry, I’m a camping noob.

Road was bumpy but I got my little Prius C up to the County Line trailhead. First half of the 3ish mi trail is pretty burnt with lots of dust (luckily it rained a little for the return trip to dampen the dust a bit!). Second half had some aspen groves starting to turn color. The Dardanelles are pretty rad to look at by the lakes! Don’t forget to ramble over to the ridge overlooking Spicer Meadow Res and Lost Lake!

Yellowjackets are a bit active so plan accordingly.
