Depends on how you look at things
This campsite is cheap if not free. The toilets were disgusting however I know they got new ones during the pandemic. It's very dry and if they allow you to have a fire it has to be very small, which is fair because the place looks like it's one spark away from the next hashtag fire. A lot of unhoused individuals call this place home and more than once we've been witness to some shady goings ons. However, have some comfort in knowing you do get cell service and it's the farthest into the Angeles National Forest the cops will go so if needed they will arrive. It's far from them though so be prepared if anything we're to go down. This is the campground that made me think "maybe we should get a gun for protection."
Nice & simple
Wife and kids loved this place
Good overnight spot
Traveling in our van and we stayed the night here during the week on our way from Malibu to Sequoia National Park. Fairly clean and spots are spaced out. Bathrooms were also fairly clean as well. 2 other campers here on a Tuesday. Did I mention free with the America the Beautiful Pass???
