At some point this summer, you might find yourself pulled between the desire to go fishing and the need to do something with the significant other or family. Kayak camping is a way to get away with both. Following are get-up-and-go guides for two great, freshwater kayak camping spots—Butt Valley Reservoir and Mammoth Pool.

Great article by Vanim on 2 kayak camping spots in Northern California.

Nice article Vanim, I sensed the serenity of seclusion through your photographs and story line. Nice !!!


Thanks again 

Good stuff!!! Lookiing forward to doing this myself  I was a dedicated backpacker a few years back but my knees are now jello. Kayak camping (and of course=fishing) is definitely something I can do for a long - long time

I plan on doing a couple of kayak camping trips this year as soon as the snow melts. There are a couple of place I want to scope out. The fewer people in the area the better.
I know there is a boating only camping area at Lake Tahoe in Emerald Bay. I checked it out last year. That is why I say the fewer people the better. It was a zoo there.

killer article. well written too! thanks.

Cool article.  My family used to camp at the boat in camp site at mammoth pool every year before I was born.  I have been to the lake a handfull of times.  I have wanted to kayak into the site for over a year but i haven't been able to get away from work for more than two days in a row and nobody has the same days off as me.  The lake has some good fish, My girlfriend has caught a 13# brown trout in the lake.  There are also an abundance of Minny lobsters(crayfish) but most of the easy spots get fished out early.
