You can fly into SFO (San Francisco International) which is 3 hour drive or SMF (Sacramento International Airport) which is a 2 1/4 hour drive going north.   The drive is a nice windy road through the mountains to the camp-ground.   Once you get there, there is plenty of free parking.  Almost all campers park their car and never touch it until they leave camp the last day.  Once you turn into the camp ground off the main road, please ensure all vehicles travel at a speed of less than 7 miles per hour.  Parking is ONLY ALLOWED in the lower parking area!
