Glenn Trail Camp Campground
Glenn Trail Camp Campground, near San Fernando, California, is a fantastic spot for those who love a bit of adventure mixed with their camping. This hike-in campground is tucked away about 6.5 miles behind a locked gate, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.
The campground is equipped with vault toilets and a nearby stream for water, though you'll need to treat it before drinking. Visitors rave about the beautiful surroundings, especially when the stream is running, and the well-maintained sites that offer a bit of privacy. As one camper put it, “It’s a great getaway and isolated from the hordes.”
If you're into biking, you're in luck! The road leading to the campground is designated as a National Scenic Bikeway, making it a popular route for cyclists. Fishing is also a draw here, with the stream offering opportunities to catch some trout—just remember to bring your gear.
While the sites are simple, they come with essentials like picnic tables and fire rings, perfect for a cozy evening under the stars. Just be sure to pack enough water or a way to purify the creek, as running water isn't available. With its beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere, Glenn Trail Camp Campground is a solid choice for a weekend retreat or a first-time backpacking experience.
