Campout 01 of 08 · September 18–20, 2026 · Crow hosts
Idyllwild
Idyllwild Park Campground
54000 Riverside County Playground Road, Idyllwild, CA 92549
We open the season a mile up in the pines. Cool mountain air, granite peaks, and the smell of Jeffrey pine: the classic kickoff campout. This year the Crows have cordoned it off as Area 5400 — keep an eye on the ridgeline after dark.
