Three Peaks Camp Survey - 03-13-2021 - by Jared Pulley
Link: Three Peaks Camp
Date: 03-13-2021
Surveyor Name:Jared Pulley
Camp Description:The camp is a bit dilapidated, the upper site has a beaten table with good shade and a fire pit, while the lower site has no table but an excellent fire pit and open grass area, and good shade as well; however the shade is near a potential car parking area, if the South Coast Ridge Road opens to public access (the gate is unlocked for the cutoff road to camp). We accessed camp as a lunch break on the Three Peaks Loop; trail quality is excellent from Dutra Flat camp.
Water Source:Flowing
Water Source Details:Great flow, deep pool of water
Weather Conditions:Sunny / Warm
