Movies in the Back Country March 22 & 23, 2008 RSVP for this event HERE
Movies in the Back-country! We hope this will be a fun and rewarding way to contribute back to our national forests.
At Movies in the Back-country!, Beyond Basecamp sets up a big screen movie theater at our biggest campground - Valley Forge Trail Camp, (MAP BELOW, PRINT IT!) This campground is WALK -IN ONLY (2.4 miles), but don't worry, we will have authorized vehicles to carry in your gear. That way it'll be a walk in the park with some relaxation and good times in the evening. This is a great backpacking trip for beginners or even those just starting to explore the world of overnight backpacking.
And now for the NOs NO bad attitudes! NO "Guests" We are not your hotel or vacation cruise staff. You are responsible for your own fun and comfort.

The trails in the Angeles National Forest are maintained
and cared for by volunteers who put in over 100 hours a
year of their time to keep our 500 miles of winding trails
in the Angeles National Forest in good hiking condition! This
year, Beyond Basecamp continues in its 5th year of
adopting three back-country campgrounds in the Angeles
NF. People are continually expressing their appreciation
for the maintained trails and campgrounds, but quite often
people say "I'd really love to help, but I can't find the
time or the money." Well, we've got your answer.....

There are twelve sites, picnic tables, vault toilets and
fire pits provided. Seasonal stream water when available
