Camping at McKinney Rubicon Staging Area

Postby Kendo » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:22 am

Anyone know if it's allowed?? I didn't think to look for signs when we were up there a couple of weeks ago. I would think, since you're allowed to park overnight, you should be able to do so with a camper - right?

Thinking about going up this weekend and I might just take the hauler up on Friday and spend the night. Otherwise, I'll just go up Saturday morning.

I've never seen any signs.....Never seen anyone camp there...but that doesn't mean anything.

There's also a spot to park on the right, just before the old car wash bridge.

Well, to answer my own question and for future reference, you CANNOT camp at the staging area, there is a sign. You can camp off the "trail" within 100 feet of the road, just not in the staging area.

Now I'm not sure about the other parking areas before getting to the staging area, no signs there.

I think they're just trying to prevent people from taking up that much space for an extended period of time. That staging area is absolutely insane on the weekends. And it's packed with a bunch of stupid people that cannot seem to grasp the concept of leaving a drive thru area open for others.
