My review for this site is going to be almost identical to my other reviews in the area. We've stayed in Angeles National Forest a few times and I would really recommend only camping in the Spring and early Summer. It gets extremely hot in August & September.

Pros:

• The scenery is gorgeous. The tall pines we all love.
• There is a ton of hiking near by and lots to do.
• Dog friendly.
• Quiet
• Perfect temperatures in spring and early summer.
• Water on site.
• Abundant Wildlife coming through camp.

Cons:

• Don't fish the local pond, Jackson Lake. It's full of litter & the fish looked unhealthy.
• Right on the highway (but it's not highly traveled at night).
• You do have to drive to hike.
• Extremely hot in August & September.
• Abundant Wildlife coming through camp. This has included bears sniffing out tent in the middle of the night & coyotes coming through... Personally I think it's awesome, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

If I'm going to choose between this grounds & others on this side of Angeles, I'd go with this one. There aren't as many sites and they're all rather large.
