Getting Outdoors

Rimmed by white-capped mountains, this alpine reservoir is serene and quiet. A mix of tall pines and gnarled oaks blanket the shores of the Ice House Reservoir. A hidden gem, as tourists crowding around the reservoir is an exceedingly rare event. Hikers occasionally appear and disappear behind the trees as they explore the perimeter. A lone fisherman, ignoring the disused boat ramp, casts his fly from the banks. High overhead, a lone bird - perhaps an eagle - soars in lazy spirals.

Camping at Ice House Reservoir

When you get here, of course, you’ll need someplace to park your RV rental. Camping at Ice House Reservoir is a popular activity. There are a handful of established RV campgrounds lining the shores. Ice House Campground is open from late May till early October. Its offerings are somewhat primitive, though there are fire rings, water faucets for drinking water and pit toilets. The boat launch is nearby, which is a nice plus.

Exploring the Area

In this far-flung corner of California, attractions are few and far in between. Traveling from town to town is made easier and more comfortable in a rental motorhome. Kyburz has a country store that also functions as an unofficial community center. Pick up forgotten necessities and swap the latest news and gossip about the events in the mountains.

Renting this trailer was a great experience top to bottom. The trailer worked perfect for our trip and everything functioned as it should. I was met for pickup and delivery by Ciara and her husband and they were both very kind and knowledgeable about the unit. Super quick and easy. A+ for both the trailer and wonderful hosts.

We had a great time on our trip, the RV was everything and more. It was perfect for the three of us and handled our trip wonderfully. We drove through three states and back with no problems and would do it again. Thank you Wallace for your great communication and RV. 12/10
