Summary

Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills—no potable water or hookups, so come prepared. RVs up to 26 feet can access the area, though it's best for tent camping. Nestled in a quiet, high-alpine forest at 8,000 feet, the campground is scenic and secluded, with access to nearby hiking trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and San Gorgonio Wilderness. Best visited late spring through early fall, it’s ideal for those seeking solitude and crisp mountain air.

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.
