Activities
Unfortunately we do not have the funds to pay for all the activities
so for the activities we mention that require an extra charge this
will be stated.
Some of the activities will also require booking, all information
is listed at the bottom of this page.
Friday 23rd May
Driving up to the campsite in shifts. The early ones can help set up camp, or find a boat to piss around on at the nearby marina.
Saturday 24th May
Morning
Leaving the campsite early (7-8am) for Yosemite activities. (Its a 2+ hour drive)
The activities at Yosemite include:
- Mountain biking ($20 per day or $5.25/hour)
- Mirror Lake walk, 3-4 miles of pictureseque countryside
- Horse riding, 2 or 4 hour rides through the park ($51 or $67)
- Yosemite Bus Tour, informative and showing some of the best
scenery
Afternoon
We are planning to spend the afternoon at a picnic area on the shore of Bass Lake, if weather permits, there will be a BBQ Lunch. I'm sure most of the veterans will agree that this place is awesome, and offers loads in the way of water sports.
It is located between our campsite at Pine Flat Lake and Yosemite National Park, so its a great place to rest before heading back to camp.
The afternoon activities at the lake include:
- Luxury Patio Boat hiring ($25 per person for boat, gas, BBQ,
tubes and wakeboards)
- Tubing
- Wake boarding
- Jet skiing (2 seater for about $99/hour plus about $30 gas).
- Motor boating ($70 for 4 people)
- Paddling around in canoes, kayaks and paddle boats ($19/hour.)

canoeing, kayaking or paddle-boating, have a look at the marina's

Sunday 25th May
Why not visit the sometimes forgotten, but equally stunning Sequoia National Park. See if you can catch a glimpse of a bear as you walk one of many hiking trails.
For the hardcore elite - Why not do a full day hike in Yosemite National Park, there are so many to choose from. But you must leave the campsite early!
Looking for some adrenaline? Check out the full day white water rafting options. 
Meet back at the campsite for evening festivities celebrating our achievements from 7.30pm onwards.
