Hey Towrod ,
 Sugarloaf is where Red Neff Barchetta had his rally last year on almost the same weekend. It was called "CALL OF THE WILD". What a great place to camp. Even though we didn't go to the telescope we sat around the fire and stargazed.
                                                                                                             I don't know if you have been hear before but,the road going to the campground is narrow,curvey and is kinda long. You have to watch out for people leaving that like to use the whole road to drive on.

 Maybe we could join you, :-()  I know I would like to go back again someday.

Hi Rod,
What a coincidence...we will be there that same weekend with our son's cub scout den!  I am the "camp coordinator" for the group and picked the date/location several weeks ago!  We go to Sugarloaf all the time.  We were just there over Thanksgiving weekend.  It is definitely a nice, small, uncrowded place.  We actually prefer this kind of camping over any places with hook-ups.  We'll have to talk more about it when we see you in Olema.  Take care!

Rod, I will talk to Randy about it.  We have no plans that I know of for April.   About how far is Sugar Loaf from Sac?

According to Mapquest it is 104 miles from Rocklin and the travel time is 2 hours.  Take 80 to 12 to Sonoma then North to Kenwood.

Thanks for the info.  I will talk to him and see what he thinks.  I also forgot little league starts in April.  I will check on that too.

Make that 12 sites left

I just booked ours - my wife (Kelly), myself, and our 8-month-old daughter.  A friend may join us as well, but she's not sure.

Looking forwards to it!  Hopefully I can get the afternoon off work so we can get out and set up at a reasonable time

Rod,

  I was just wondering what time you plan on getting their and if our group could be together in one area.

[towrod]

Scott,
  I'm hoping to get to the campground between 2-3pm on Friday.
I hope we can get some sites close to each other and will ask the ranger when we check in..... when do you think you will roll in?
