there isn't a campground, but there's tons of good places and I think it's all legal. PM Htek or wait for him to reply, those have been his stompin grounds since he was a little kid and I'm sure he knows.

k well its not set in stone but the plan is to get there around 3 or so on fri and probably just hang out camp and stuff then sat wheel and then head out around 5........... i will let you know for sure later in the week so if you want to come wheel on sat that would be cool......

Yes, as far as I know camping is legal in/around greenhorn. You shouldn't be bothered by camping down there, hell, all the weirdo's in their vans never get hassled :laugh3:
With that said, greenhorn can be an interesting place when the sun goes down. Don't let this deter you, but just a warning... Last year some guy got his tent shot up while he was in it camping down there. Watch out for the drunks (thats likely to be everyone on a friday night). Dont break your junk out there and leave it over night... cuz it will probably get pushed over and torched. I realize that doesnt sound like the ideal spot to go, however law enforcement has greatly stepped up the patrols down there and most of the idiots have gone away.
Just find yourself a nice flat spot by the river bed and enjoy!

I figured id post here, not worth starting a new thread over. I've been down to the river at greenhorn a few times in yeares past, during winter fun fest. I was wondering if i may be pointed in the diections of some of the good trails out of there, or if its just a matter of exploring out from the river? Might be going down there in a few saturdays.

it's hard to explain where some of the better trails are... but just explore around and you'll find some. If you take the road heading south from the river, there are several good ones on the left, good enough to flop Htek's stocker

I was thinkning about going out there next saturday, if my buddy's up to it, but i dont know how crazy its going to be out there memorial day weekend. It'll be interesting to see how high the creeks gonna be, with all the rain on top of the snow, then 80 weather.

It wont be bad. More dirtbikers than anything else. The river will definatly be high... just choose carefully where you cross and you have any problems. I would join you, but I will be in pismo that weekend.
The best thing about greenhorn is that you cant really get lost. If you find an interesting trail, just take it... drive long enough and you will hit Hwy 20, 174, or Red Dog rd. Some of the better trails out there are within 500 yards of the creek bed coming from You Bet rd. When coming down You Bet, just look for trails to the right... those are pretty much the best you will find. Great challenge for a stocker... not much of any challenge for anything else - but fun nonetheless.
