This is my review of the Devil's Backbone Camp.
When you arrive you check in at this building
here.
And behind this building you will find an information station, where you can find information
on local trails that are fun to hike. I actually hiked on one of these trails.
On the other side of this information center, you can find a map of the campground and all the
rules that you need to follow while staying here. All right I'm sitting here at Devil's Backbone
Campground, which is right next to the Devil's Backbone Brewery, and they have quite a setup here.
It's an easy walk from the brewery and restaurant to the campground. So we've set up the car camping,
and because I'm here with my son, he's using one car camping mattress in his car, and I just put
mine in a tent. And amazingly it fits great in a five by seven tent. So when two of us
come on a trip, and one of us drives that works out really great. So we're sitting in the campground
now and we're cooking some chicken. So let me turn the camera around and let you get a look.
Okay the sun's going down now. Cooking the chicken
and, we've got a crawler of beer we got from the brewery. So i think it's gonna be a nice dinner.
The first night in camp went well. It was a little warm, but the mattress I put it in
my tent and it's really comfortable. So that went well. Slept pretty good.
You can hear the fans from their garden that they have on the property. They ran all night long,
but it just becomes background noise after a while.
So I have to say the first night was a good experience.
I'm leaving devil's backbone campground and walking towards their brew pub
just to give you an idea, if you stay at this campground how close you are to the brewery.
It also depends on what part of the campground you're staying in. I'm staying in the
tent section which is the closest. They've got the RVs and the
mobile campers on the other side, so they've got about two three blocks further that they
have to walk to get to the brew pub. It's first thing in the morning so there's nobody out here.
So it's a good time to kind of give you a feel for the place with not a lot of people around.
One thing I noticed last night is
that it's not too far from a main road. So traffic you could hear it till about
I'd say 10 o'clock last night, and then it started up again this morning about seven. It started so
you can hear you know stuff going on the road. They have quite a setup here I'll show you in a minute.
But I'm almost to the entrance of the Devils Backbone.
Last night we came up here, and had a drink, and
it was nice. Although they don't have all their tables up and running, so
they recommend that you get a reservation to eat out here.
All right and here we are at the west gate I'm gonna turn the camera around and let it get peak.
Oh you can't go in. Nothing's open in the morning here.
They've got this huge stage setup over here.
Looks like they're ready for a summer concert series or something,
probably on the weekends. It's pretty country you can see the mountains in the background here.
Let me turn it around and let you see the stage, I'm walking over to.
Now if you enter the brewery and restaurant from the main road, you will find that on your right
you can enter the restaurant through the
north gate. this is a great place to enter the restaurant and sit inside.
On the left of the main entrance you will find an information center that tells you all about
the hiking trails around devils
backbone.
Next to this information center you will find
gardens and greenhouses that they grow a lot of their own food and things for the brewery. The only
thing is the fans that are in the back of these greenhouses run all night when it's hot, so that
it keeps air circulating over the plants and you can hear these fans from parts of the campground.
After walking around the brewery and restaurant and showing all what is around there it's time
to return to camp so you can see what it's like to walk up to the camp we have.
Now let me show you around the rest of the campground. Near our campsite are more campsites
these campsites we're passing now are big enough for two tents
each on the campsite and they will sleep up to four people. Not far past this site is
the bathhouse. Now I think they have a very nice bath house here with showers that are huge. This
is always good in a campground, because you can actually close the door and have a little privacy.
They also have a place here where you can get water for your campsite.
And at the restroom you will find an information board, that will tell you about the campsite and
the rules. And they also have a fire danger chart so you will know how careful you've got
to be with your campfire. Now not far from the bathhouse is the RV section of the campground.
Next to the RV section is some more campsites with out electrical hookups
that you can put a mobile trailer or RV easily in and back into your campsite.
And beyond these campsites is the dumping station where you can get
rid of all of your trash and other things. Even your recycles can be put back here.
Well I hope you've enjoyed my review of the Devils Backbone Camp. Until next time, see ya.
