Located on the Romero Camusa Road just past Mono Campground, the camp is located beyond a locked gate.
Link: | Lower Camuesa Camp |
Date: | 11-19-2023 |
Surveyor Name: | Brad Anderson |
Camp Description: | The road from Indian Creek to Lower Camuesa Camp was in pretty good
shape and fairly easy on bikes.The cement water tank/cistern on the
road was full of water and would be easy to drop a filter hose into.
The gate between Indian Creek and Lower Camuesa is in good shape. There
is a small slide on the Lower Camuesa Camp side and a downed tree on
the other side. See the photos for the lock situation. Lower
Camuesa Camp is overgrown. We found all three sites and the tables are
intact. I could not locate the toilet or the spring box. One of the
sites had a fairly intact old stove and several green metal chairs.
Kinda cool. No water in the creek near camp. There was water in Camuesa
Creek 0.8 miles upstream of camp. |

Surveyor Name: | Los Padres Forest Association |
Camp Description: | The camp is there, it's located across the creek before the road starts to climb up from the canyon bottom. Look for an old faint moto trail heading towards the creek and push through the brush, you'll find it. Lower Camuesa has 3 defined campsites complete with tables, fire rings and in some cases chairs. There is also an old metal spring box and a functioning, albeit rickety, outhouse style toilet. This area did not burn in the 2016 Rey Fire. |

Water Source Details: | No water to be found in the area. |

Camp Description: | Passed by on way from Upper Oso to Romero on bikes. Road below (east) of Middle Camuesa is largely destroyed until hill past lower Camuesa (heading to Mono). Passable on foot or bikes with some bushwhacking here and there and portages across the debris fields. The intervening trail between the blown out areas is great.  The camp is overgrown due to lack of use. |
