My brother and I have some plans for the three day weekend, but would like to get in some climbing at Donner Saturday morning. We wanted to head up this Friday in the evening so we can get out and climb early on Saturady, but..... with it being a holiday weekend I cannot find a single available campsite for Friday night anywhere in the Donner/North Lake Tahoe area. If anyone is going to be up therefor the weekend and would be willing to share a campsite, or even just has a backyard we could roll out our sleeping bags in it would be awesome. We would pay for the campsite for the night and be pretty low key, rolling in at about 8pm and packing up to get out and climb about 6am. PM me if anyone can help out, thanks.

There is BLM land near Donner Lake where you can camp for free. Not sure exactly how far up the road, but if you aren't on it, a ranger will wake you up at 3:30 a.m. and let you know you need to move your truck.

I love how my taxes are spent sometimes.

Best of luck. My backyard is kinda too far for ya, sorry.
