[pct-l] Good campgrounds along the PCT?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

There was a US Forest Service campground next to Shelter Cove resort,  
too. $16 bucks a night. Elk Lake Resort also had camping and was  
really easy off the trail. I think there were campgrounds along the  
road to Bend as well if you didn't want to stay at the resort.

Another option for those more adventurous (or cheap) is that you can  
dispersal camp in national forests or BLM land. Just park and camp in  
your RV or pitch a tent in the forest. This works well for those  
lonely forest roads if you can figure out how to get to them and  
where there won't be anybody driving by to bother you.
