Free dispersed camping along a dirt road in San Bernardino National Forest, Coon Creek Yellow Post has sites marked with yellow posts on both sides of the road from the Y intersection up to Coon Creek Cabin. The first sites are big-rig friendly; the road roughens considerably farther up. Spots fill fast on weekends. A campfire permit, available online through San Bernardino National Forest, is required when fires are allowed. Anglers and self-sufficient campers exploring campsites near Big Bear City will find this a workable base, though those towing larger trailers should claim a spot early or be prepared to turn around.
