I rode my motorbike to the Neiwan Camp last Saturday…
Remember that first water stop on the Wuling trip JD? well, 20-25 mins up that side road is the camp, so not far at all.
The camp looks like they haven’t touched it since we were there a year ago, with long grass and everything overgrown…but sure is a nice spot. I was going to ask them about any booking coming up, but honestly, I think getting in there again wouldn’t be a problem - I couldn’t find anyone around.
I hiked up to that Waterfall too, and had a great swim.
Whatever spot is determined, I’m very much keen for BYO everything this time (food and drinks). It was just too much work and hassle for the Mao’s, and all the money changing hands was a pain too.

[quote=“jdsmith”]Anything closer than that?
Or is the back road faster?[/quote]
By Car, the way via Neiwan would be faster I think as you can take the freeway, then highway for a while.
I’d seriously consider loading up the bike and going up the gorge, it’s a great road. About 90 mins from the camp to Belgian Pies in Sanxia, so not too far considering how awesome it is.
V and I are going camping on the 25th of July, and will come back on the 30th. We will be in Canada until the 25th, so we wouldn’t be able to do anything before that. Last year was great, but this year, it should be every man (or woman) for themselves, food-wise.
^^^ Given that you answered in 7 minutes I guess you’re thirsty! You sure you can hold out until August?
If the interest is there, I’d be happy to mix some up for the campers.
