I was told that there was a parking area near Fish Camp where families could pull over for snow play. Where is it?, and is it an official Sno Park area where you need to buy and display a permit? (and if so, where do you get the permit, and how much does it cost?)

What kind of snow play: hills for sliding, tubing, toboggans, sleds, skis????????

Thanks! Grandchildren on their way this coming weekend.....

The best place is the Goat Meadow Snow Play area - north of Fish Camp, just before the park entrance. You'll need chains/4wd to get up the road. Big parking lot where people set up to tailgate, sledding hill, trails. Get there 'early' before the lot fills up and the sheriff starts directing traffic. No permit needed.

There are other places that people pull out and sled despite the NO PARKING ANY TIME signs. You'll see them. I think some people play in the meadow across from the Fish Camp store, but it's pretty flat.

Go way past Fish Camp. There will be a sign directing you to turn right. It's about a half mile back. Not much there though.

I don't recommend the meadow across from the General Store as there is a pond there and it could be dangerous for little ones. I also don't recommend pulling by the side of the road for the same reasons. The snow play area is a great place to play with sleds, etc. There are no facilities such as food, etc there. I think there may be porta potties though. There's lots of snow so right now is a perfect time to go. Have fun!

Oops :cry:

Goat Meadow is our favorite place to go, anyway. There's a dumpster and portapotties and a decent hill to slide down. There will be a lot of people, but you can get away from them by walking for five minutes.
