 Some More Things to Know

The Bayview Campground also serves as a Trailhead for Desolation Wilderness. A Wilderness Permit is required to enter Desolation Wilderness. Day hikers may pick up a day-use permit at the self serve area at the Trailhead. Overnight hikers must obtain an overnight permit before you arrive at the Trailhead. Follow this link for additional information on obtaining a permit for Desolation Wilderness. Corral and watering facilities for horses are available at the Trailhead. Water for the watering facilities is taken from the creek which usually runs dry by the latter part of July, August and September. You should make arrangements to provide your own water during these months.

Fire rings at all sites; please use fire areas provided at each campsite and do not build additional fire rings. Remember, only collect dead and down wood in the nearby forest for your fires and before leaving your campsite make sure your fire is "Dead Out." Help prevent forest fires!



 Directions

Take Hwy 89 north from South Lake Tahoe approximately 8 miles to the Bayview Campground located across from Inspiration Point.
