There are many people that simply can't wait for their vacation to start so that they can get out into nature. The Shaver Lake camping grounds in Fresno County in California is a place that offers nature in abundance. It is a manmade lake and has a melancholy logging theme as the land was considerably logged while been constructed.
There is a marina in the campgrounds and they offer a large selection of water crafts from which to rent. Many like to set up camp for the day on the shores and frolic in the water. Unfortunately spending the night along the shoreline is not allowed so things will need to be packed up at the end of the day and taken back to the camping site.
Unlike many other camping places they do offer camp sites with electricity as well as internet and cable television. There is a picnic area but at the moment is in the process of getting revamped so will remain closed until construction ends. There is however other sites that one can stop at along Dinkey Creek that are just as quiet and restful.
They have enough camp sites for two hundred and fifty two visitors with clean restrooms, stores as well as a Laundromat and fish cleaning stations. Some sites can accommodate up to three tents with room for pop up trailers. Each site has a cook centre and hose bib. Many have a view of the water and some are even on the reservoir itself.
Twenty more minutes further up the road one will find the China Perak Ski Resort which is a popular place during the colder months. The mountain is about eight thousand and seven hundred feet high and offers a freestyle terrain park. This is an excellent place for beginners both skiing and snowboarders as they offer a moving carpet.
In the beginnings of this town there were many fires and floods which caused enormous damage. In later years oil was discovered in the western part which created an economic boom. It was the largest field of oil in California and is now the eighth largest in the state.
For those that are able to sleep on their crafts this is allowed but sleeping on the shoreline is prohibited. Launching of boats can be done either in the campground itself or at the north end just past the dam. They are both full service marinas with supplies and fuel and for those that do not own a boat these are available for hire as well.
At the camping grounds, there is a tents only area where one can either be on the water front or inland. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash at all times. There is also a clean bathhouse with coin operated showers, which you can also make use of.
