Link: Chuchupate Campground Date: 06-09-2019 Surveyor Name: Duane Waite Camp Description: A cozy alternative to the higher campgrounds on Mt. Pinos, and a bit closer to town if you want more proximity to food, ice and other accoutrements of civilization. However, the camp still feels remote, and being a bit lower, there is more biodiversity, so your chance of hearing owls and coyotes is higher. My night's owl serenade was halted by heavy winds that blew through after midnight, a reminder that mountains can create their own weather. I also noticed a cluster of amateur astronomers, their equipment set up at the Frazier Mtn trailhead about a mile below the campground. A cold weather alternative to the chiller Mt Pinos summit on long winter nights.Water Source: Dry Water Source Details: $20 per night. Bring your own water. No longer piped. Weather Conditions: Night: Breezy with temps in the low 50s.
