Surveyor Name:Anonymous Surveyor
Camp Description:Gate was locked. Hiked up and nothing was wrong, any cars could make it up. There was a very small patch of snow in the camp on May 6th, don’t know how it was there when everything else was green. Nice hiking trails leading up both sides of the ridge, would be nice to spend a night or two when the road opens.

Marian Campground Survey - 02-27-2021 - by Oh Three
Link: Marian Campground
Date: 02-27-2021
Surveyor Name:Oh Three
Camp Description:Located 2 miles and 900 feet above the gate at 9N27 and 95 aka Hudson Ranch Road, which is 30 minutes west of Frazier Park and the I-5. 9N27 is at the moment a smooth graded dirt road, and will remain smooth so long as the drought continues. Campground has 5 sites, each with picnic table and a firepit. No outhouse. No vegetation in the campground so the campsites are all visible to each other but at least are located some distance apart. Center site has the pine throne. Campground is in a bowl just short of the north ridge so you lack the infinity views of Valle Vista but you also lack the direct wind. For the views, just walk 100 feet north. Motorcycle trail 107 goes east west along the ridge and would make a great day hike using Marian as a base camp.
