Nestled deep in the Stanislaus National Forest at Pinecrest, California, you'll find the Lair of the Golden Bear — an unforgettable summer vacation spot owned and operated by the Cal Alumni Association since 1949.

A special home-away-from-home for Cal alumni, families and friends, this beautiful mountain retreat allows campers to unwind in the spectacular Sierra Nevada Mountains without worrying about cooking, cleaning, or what to do with the kids. The hardest decision campers face all week is which activity to try next!
