Access Issue: No overnight camping on PG&E property Details

Noticed several tents while walking into the emeralds climbing area this last weekend ( 5/20/17 ). PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) has posted several signs at the gate and other areas that state camping is NOT allowed. Please respect this so that access does not become an issue! Thanks in advance, Colby W.

Description

Close to the Emeralds, day use fee required. The upper of two rocks visible from the boat launch parking lot along the power line clearing to the north, is what I climbed. Really, it's better if you head to the Emeralds for some good climbing. I just thought I'd post this as sort of cautionary.

Getting There

Hwy 20 toward Bowman. Between Bowman Rd and I80 is the turn that takes you to Spaulding. All the way down to the boat ramp and walk-in campground, look up the power line corridor past the camp area, and it's the 2nd outcrop up the hill.
