Just checked at Silver Lake east El Dorado NF, California. We were told that water will NOT be available at there campground and other California Campgrounds because of water shortages. I cancelled my reservation but I did check other campgrounds in the general area and they are furnishing water. You might check before you go. The website on recreation.gov for silver lake will l say they have water. Good Luck

If you go for a weekend, you can take enough in your fresh water tank that you won't need their supply. We would typically get 4 Navy showers, plus toilet flushing and hands washing over a weekend. We would take additional water for drinking and cooking. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Dry camping for a weekend is pretty easy.. Like Doug, we fill the FW holding tank, carry drinks separate. You can also carry a couple 5 gallon jugs if needed, to top off the holding tank.. On most pods you have twice as much waste water holding as you do fresh.. ------------- |

This was just a heads-up warning that water might not be available. We were booked for two weeks at this campground. They always had water for the incoming campers. I normally come in and fill when I get there. Just check the campgrounds in California for available water because of the lack of snow pack and rain. Happy Camping
