Lake Morena http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/parks/camping/lake_morena.html is
always open.

The USFS website
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/cleveland/recreation/camping/campgrounds.shtml
shows all forest campgrounds open. However, Burnt Rancheria has usually
closed for winter, although they show it open.

I did note that Cottonwood Creek at Buckman Springs Road was still dry on
December 9, even though it was raining at the time. The rains last week
may or may not have changed this.

I'd doubt any. The last storm was rain but not snow. Check the webcam at

No opinion.
