Big Bear Camping Trip 06/19 - 06/21/26

We made it up the Big Bear this weekend to go camping at a Yellow Post Site and hang out and do a little adventuring (not really much actually wheeling). Went to our first 2 marked YP sites and they were full so we went to YP 31 beyond the Holcomb Valley Ranch and that was free!

It was my dog Churro’s first time camping (he’s been off-roading plenty and loves it). Was a gorgeous weekend up in Big Bear minus one thing.

Holcomb Valley Ranch was hosting “High Vibes Fest” and their music went all day Friday into 4am Saturday morning and then all day Saturday into 7am on Sunday morning. We were about a mile away from the campground and the music might as well have been playing right next to us. I can’t image the hundreds of people dispersed camping in the area and at Holcomb Creek Campground were thrilled either as it made it super hard to sleep (literally had to put earbuds in to sleep).

Other than that, we had a great time hanging out and exploring. Made it to the Butler Peak Fire Lookout Tower (didn’t climb up to it however) and just spent time exploring around on the easy trails. Even made it into the village for ice cream on Friday!

Anyways, enjoy some photos (not in order by day).
