Bret Harte sits where forested foothills meet easy access roads, making it a good base for towable adventures and short overnight stays. Campground access is convenient from nearby main routes, and many sites accommodate parking and level setup for a travel trailer. There are public and private campgrounds as well as day-use areas that let you unhitch and leave your tow vehicle while you explore. Unhitching your trailer opens up flexible day trips on local roads and allows you to park closer to trailheads, lakeshores, or town centers.
