Shaver Lake Camping Packages Have Really Taken Off

By Beryl Dalton


Shaver Lake camping grounds are much bigger than what they appear to be. Those that have already been there suggest that taking a bicycle as well as a map could be a good idea. It is a very relaxing and well kept and clean place to spend a few well earned days. The personnel are friendly and try to ensure that everyone enjoys their stay.

There is a marina in the campgrounds and they offer a large selection of water crafts from which to rent. Many like to set up camp for the day on the shores and frolic in the water. Unfortunately spending the night along the shoreline is not allowed so things will need to be packed up at the end of the day and taken back to the camping site.

The town which was formerly named Musick Creek does not have many occupants. In 2010 it was estimated that only about six hundred and thirty four people lived there. In the beginning the lake was made to operate as a mill pond and it was forty two miles long. The original town was later destroyed as that land was used to make the lake larger.

There was once a railroad that operated and was a standard gauge track. It is estimated that sixty percent of all lines around the world are made from this gauge. Its main purpose was to move wood that had been cut down to sawmills and lumber yards. It was eventually abandoned in 1927 after been in use for thirty six years.

They are open all year and the average amount per night is $39. They can however range from $30 - $48 depending on the amount of people and camping units used. For a group of people the rates can be from $150 to $375 per night.

The Pacific Crest hiking trail is truly breathtaking. It is not for the unfit as it is about four thousand kilometers long over rocky terrain. Many even use this trail for horse riding. The route goes through seven national parks as well as twenty five national forests which leave many awestruck at its beauty. There is also a bicycle route that runs parallel to the hiking trail and these come together about twenty seven times along the route.

The diehard hikers actually make this distance in a single trip. It does however take considerable planning as well as dedication to complete it. It is thought that out of the three hundred that begin this trail yearly only about one hundred and eighty actually complete it. A certain amount of miles need to be completed each day so as to ensure they do not get trapped by the snow. There are many little towns that they will pass through where they are able to restock their supplies.

There are many different and enjoyable activities that one can do at the Shaver camping grounds. It is a place to just relax and take in the beauty that is all around. Many are too busy with life to sit back and to truly see what this planet has to offer.
