Espinosa Camp, located in Cleveland National Forest, California, offers primitive, first-come, first-served dispersed camping with no established campsites.


Summary

There are no fees, reservations, or permits required unless fire restrictions are in place (check with the forest service). Amenities are minimal—no water, no hookups, and only one pit toilet. Fire rings and picnic tables are available at some sites. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, it’s best suited for tent campers or small RVs without hookups. Surrounded by chaparral and oak woodlands, it offers a remote, peaceful vibe. Nearby trails include the Espinosa and Corte Madera trails. Best visited in spring or fall due to hot summers.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
