Answer
WRIGHTS LAKE, CA
Wrights Lake Campground is situated in the timber belt, close to the lake shore, looking up at the majestic rocky peaks of the Sierra Nevadas and Desolation Wilderness. The area is well-known for its hiking, wildflowers and birding.
Natural Features:
At nearly 7,000 feet in elevation, the campground is surrounded by pine and fir trees with a grassy understory. Wildflowers bloom throughout the spring and summer seasons.
Some sites are nestled among giant boulders, providing privacy for campers. The campground is close to Wrights Lake, a 40-acre body of water popular for its serene and quiet atmosphere.
Recreation:
The campground provides access to the lake, where visitors enjoy trout fishing, swimming and boating activities. Motorboats are prohibited in the area.
Hikers will enjoy access to multiple foot and horseback riding trails within 5 miles of the campground. Various trailheads, including Bloodsucker, Rockbound and Twin Lakes trails, provide access to Desolation Wilderness.
Educational programs are offered at the amphitheater, and mountain biking and off-road vehicle use is popular on Barrett Lake Jeep trail. Wilderness permits for day hiking are available at the trailheads, and overnight hiking permits are available at Pacific Ranger Station.
Facilities:
The campground offers dozens of campsites for tent, RV and equestrian camping. Several sites offer sweeping views of Wrights Lake.
Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills, and firewood can be gathered in the area. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A camp host is available during the daytime.

Camping with a 2yr old, 1yr old, and 37wks Pregnant?
ilovenephi
Me and my husband are planning on going camping on the 29th of May just for the one night and the next day. I will be 37 weeks that day. The lake is only an hour away and we are planning on going up early Friday and the coming back later on Saturday so it won't be too much driving and activity at once. We have 2yr and 1yr old daughters that will be going with us. We are hoping that my brother-in-law will let us use his RV, but my husband is scared to ask him lol.(My sister is going to ask him today for me) If we can't then we have an air-up bed and tents, etc. (I am prepared to sleep in the car in the nice reaclining seats if necessary lol) Just wondering if anyone has gone with young children or while pregnant? What should I expect/bring? (besides lots and lots of pillows lol)
The next day is my husbands company summer party thats why we aren't going until then. Some of the other employees will be going up the day before with their families and since my husband is in charge of the watercrafts (rental and everything) then we have to stay with them at all times and we just wanted them to be able to use them that day.
Thanks
(Also should I bring my stroller or not? I have a Jeep Double, a single, and a little umbrella - my 1yr old can't quite walk yet she might by then but I don't know )
Answer
My family is planning a camping trip for the 4th of July and my daughter will be 17 months and I'll be 36 weeks pregnant, so I haven't actually experienced it myself, but have done some thinking. My advice would be that if you can get the camper, great! That would be much easier than the air blow up bed. But, if not I think you guys would make it through that. I would definately bring a stroller for the older 2. They might get very tired walking around a campground. Especially later in the day. And they could nap in it too, instead of you maybe having to carry them. As for packing I would just make sure to bring plenty of change in clothes, a lot of bottled water or jugs to keep cool and stay hydrated. Take breaks in the shade and use plenty of sunscreen. Don't break out of their normal routine if you can help it and try to make sure they still get a nap if they usually take one, that way they aren't cranky at bed time in a strange place. Hope this helps.
