Big Pine Resorts

[Smitty]

Can anyone provide any info on what resorts are left on Big Pine? We usually go up every August but couldn't find a reservation this year so will be trying Star Lake.

I've stayed at Big Pine Resort, Sunshine, Jungle Shores & they're all gone (either sold individual cabins or seasonal rentals or torn down for condos I understand).. I know Whispering Pines is still there, although I hear 4 of the cabins aren't rented but reserved for the owners.

We generally need 2 cabins when we go up (at least 2 BR with 3BR each preferred).

I'd like to try to get back to BP next summer (or even this fall for a long weekend), so any help would be greatly appreciated. The resort situation is really getting rough, and with the wives and kids along I don't want to stay at a motel and load/unload the boat every day.

Any insight on Star Lake in August would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

Try Golden Eagle, I know they have a Duplex cabins and 2 other cabins. I don't know if mosquito heights has any cabins. There is also another place on the east end south of Hamburger Hollow.
Hope it helps..

We stay at Whispering Pines. It is located on the north side of the lake. We just got back from there and I know they had some openings in August. Jungle Shores is now lotted off. They are going for $200,000+.

Try Olsons Get Away or Sunset Beach, they both have cabins that will accomidate you.

like Mn_mtn_cat said golden eagle is a good resort. they are more of an RV type deal but they do have a bunch of cabins, there is always something for the kids to do

Thanks all.. As I mentioned, we've got reservations at a resort on Star Lake this year so I'll probably wait until after we get back and make some calls for next year(assuming the Big Pine resorts won't take reservations for next year without giving this year's folks a chance at the same week).. Will probably try to hit one of them this fall as well, although after mid September it's pretty tough to find resorts open.

Thanks again for the info.

BTW, any insight on Star for eye's or crappie this time of year?
