Description

Pardon us, did somebody say Hot Springs? That’s right! China Camp Campground located on the scenic Chews Ridge is right down the road from the developed Tassajara Hot Springs. Take a soak, then set up camp at the quaint first-come, first-served campsites. What’s more is the camp offers a trailhead into the Ventana Wilderness. Hiking plus soaking = perfect camping trip!
