Our first night we car camped at a campground on Trinity Lake (aka Clair Engle Lake). The campground and lake were lovely, but the jet skiers left something to be desired. Namely: they were really loud. Fortunately, they either got tired or ran out of gas after a few hours.
At this campground and a few others there were these old forest service camp stoves. It's not clear to me if they still work, but they look like when they did work, they would have been great for cooking and heating without tons of smoke and open flames.
