Peaceful
Bring some bug spray if you’re bugged by bugs. Other than that there was plenty of space for plenty of campers.

Nicely Secluded
No individual campsites. They’re set up in groups 2, 3 or 4 But it’s probably never a problem as this place doesn’t seem to get lots of visitors. It is a nice place and campground with lots of trees that provide some shade during the day. Sadly (because of our ongoing drought) trees and vegetation are in great need of water. I’d love to come back here after a rainy day.
Bring lots of mosquito repellent. You will need it.
Great Views Beautiful Trees
I love the campground itself. The whole area is beautiful. Easy escape out of LA. It was pretty much empt during the week. Love that it is first come first serve. sleeping with a completely open tent and viewing the night sky was amazing. Moon lit the entire mountain up.
Cons: Lots of flies. Toilets were unbearable with the amount of flies. Rustic is the way to go.
