Hike in Campground near stream

Nice Campground with several sites near a stream. Hike in 1.75mi. Lots of flies and mosquitoes when I went. Even my dog was annoyed :( Waterfall is about another 1 mile hike in. Not a bad campsite by water. Only one other couple camping while I was there over a summer weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Cooper Canyon Trail Camp located and how do I access it?

Cooper Canyon Trail Camp is located in the Angeles National Forest, accessible via a 1.75-mile hike from the trailhead. The camp sits near a stream in a wooded canyon setting. To reach the campground, you'll need to park at the designated trailhead and hike in with all your camping gear. The trail is moderately difficult, so plan accordingly and pack appropriately for a hike-in camping experience. The remote location offers solitude, with typically few other campers even during summer weekends.

What amenities and facilities are available at Cooper Canyon Campground?

Cooper Canyon Trail Camp offers primitive, backcountry camping facilities. The campground has several established sites situated near a stream, providing access to water (though treatment is recommended). There are no modern amenities like electricity, showers, or flush toilets. While specific details on toilet facilities are limited, typical backcountry camps in this area usually have basic pit toilets. Come prepared with all necessary camping supplies, as there are no stores or services at the campground. The natural setting compensates for the minimal facilities with its serene environment.

You can find images showing the campground's natural setting beside a stream, the surrounding forest environment, and the established campsites. These photos help visualize the primitive backcountry nature of the camp.

Can I hike to Cooper Canyon Falls from the campground?

Yes, Cooper Canyon Falls is accessible from the trail camp via approximately a one-mile hike. The waterfall makes for a perfect day activity once you've established your camp.
