What a treat. There are multiple places to camp at Lion's Den, but one puts all the others to shame. This is the penthouse suite of campsites. If you're coming from HWY 1 its a bit of trek but well worth it if you can snag the penthouse.

It's a good 6-6.5 miles (we got different estimates from different websites). The trail from Estrella to Lions Den is uphill all the way (a tough haul with a heavy backpack) but it's a lovely (and somewhat technical) trail. And Lions Den was icing on the cake, esp...
