Summary

There are no fees, toilets (pit or flush), water, or hookups, so come fully self-sufficient. Sites have fire rings and limited picnic tables. RVs can access the area via the dirt Four Mile Trail, though high-clearance vehicles are recommended. The campground sits in a serene oak and chaparral forest with mountain views, offering a quiet, rustic vibe. Nearby attractions include Figueroa Mountain and Zaca Ridge trails. Spring (especially during wildflower season) and fall offer the best weather for camping.

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.
