MoCo Sheriff enforcing no camping

On Nacimiento I counted 34 campsites on the side of the road yesterday, Saturday, between the summit and the coast. Almost all of them in dangerous locations. There is no privacy, no place for human waste, people are camped practically on top of each other. This is not camping. The road is dangerous enough just being so narrow and winding and in generally bad shape. This phenomena just adds another layer of dangerousness to an existing situation.

  • I also counted as many illegal campers and approached a few who said they had permits so I asked the Forestry guys about such a thing and was told that they then went up Nacimiento Rd. and started ticketing them (or so I was told).
