Just a few miles north of the campground is the small town of Julian.  It’s a great spot to spend the day walking around the shops and restaurants.  There are pie shops that usually make the best apple pies available.  Try Moms pie shop.  There are also shops selling honey, dried fruits, and apple cider.  There is something for the whole family.  Make sure you bring home some bread from the local bakeries.
