Camino Cove Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Pacific Ranger District of Eldorado National Forest in California, about 9 miles from the town of Pacific House. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site itself is a simple campsite with no facilities listed in its description. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Pacific House, which sits about 1,400 feet lower, show May highs around 72°F with lows near 42°F and October highs around 66°F with lows near 41°F. That station runs much warmer than the campground, so temperatures at the site itself run cooler. Summer is hot, with July and August highs averaging about 90°F, and winter brings highs in the low to mid 40s and around 12 wet days a month from December through February. Other places to stay close by include West Point Campground, less than a mile away, and Wolf Creek Group, about 1.3 miles off. Paddlers can head to Little Silver Creek, about 1.6 miles away, and hikers to the Big Hill Trail, about 1.7 miles away.
