Cooler Weather Camping and SxS Spots

[ArizonaKevin]

Trying to put together a last minute labor day trip with my brother in law, trying to find a place where we can camp and ride in some cooler weather. I am in Phx and he is in Anaheim, was thinking Idyllwild or Arrowhead areas but have zero tribal knowledge of places to go. Any input is appreciated.

Maybe big bear

Johnson Valley

Johnson Valley

That was definitely on the list, but looks like it'll still be in the 90s on labor day.

I would skip Idyllwild, you would need to trailer to the trails, and even then, you can do all the OHV trails in a day.

Crab flats campground in Green Valley Lake Area, (Big Bear) has OHV ride in/out. I think it is a dirt road to get to the camp ground though.

We'd be in williams if it wasn't such a haul from Anaheim for my brother in law. Would be weird going to ocotillo and not camping off pole line, but I think overall it's just too hot.

Appreciate the intel on Idyllwild. Crab flats looks like a good spot but idk if I want to take the RV down that road.

Ya need a good generator and functional AC in your RV.
Morning and evening dune runs.

^ this.



Bee canyon is really the only spot to ride, there is staging off hwy 74, but it's not the best. Lots of hemet meth heads ride the trail and it gets clogged quick. All the other trails including Bautista creek are for street legal vehicles

Mammoth, it's a trek but there's lots of good stuff up there and the weather is perfect.

Our toon is not done.
So we had to do a utah trip to stay away from the heat.. it was warm up there during the day but cools off real quick when sun set's..

It’s usually still in the low 90’s in Randsburg on Labor Day Weekend. I would say Big Bear or Silverwood would be your best bet to find somewhere cooler that’s halfway (kinda) between.

Tons of fantastic marked trails around arrowhead and big bear. I’d find a good campground there since there’s hundreds of miles of bitchin trails and it will be nice weather.

Ive done a few gd summer trips and they are fun no doubt.Its been a while so hopefully do one soon.Seems i have got great rides in with the group as well long morning ride and a good evening sunset ride too.

Try to wear self out to take a good nap after morning ride then hit the river to cool off helps too.
