Vallecito Campground GMU 751

PacificFork · Nov 2, 2020

Heading to GMU 751 Vallecito Lake this week. Can anyone tell me in the Vallecito Campground at the trail head into the wilderness is usually full for 3rd season? Will I have a spot set up a small base camp or will I have to check the other camp grounds around the lake? I am hiking into the wilderness to spike camp the first 4 days of the season, unless this storm calls for feet of snow coming... Thanks in advance.

BTW for some reason the USFS says this campground is now closed but I dont think thats right...

Can't help you with Vallacito, but be advised that lots of campgrounds and facilities around here are closed. For whatever reason.

You might call and ask. Drove by a few this past week and the gates were locked

I was there for 2nd season and if I remember correctly everything was locked. ( we have a cabin on the lake ). Saw doe EVERYWHERE, but only 4 bucks in 9 days of hunting. 3 of them were forks, and the other a wide 3x3 that never gave my daughter a shot. The few deer we saw harvested/hanging in camps were forks too. The unit is very “if it’s brown it’s down”. Good luck.
