SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and hike-in only, Limber Pine Bench Campground sits at roughly 9,000 feet in San Bernardino National Forest, where elevation makes even short efforts feel like work. Established rock walls and trees mark the existing sites, which campers use as windbreaks against the strong overnight gusts common at this altitude. A spring lies about a quarter mile up the trail. Pets are welcome, and cell service is available. Reservations are an option, and the campground costs nothing to use, making it a low-barrier overnight for hikers ready to earn the elevation.

Reservation Info

Group size limited to 12 people and 8 pack/riding animals per group. No campfires allowed. Portable gas stoves are allowed. Camp on a durable surface at least 100 feet away from trails and water sources.

Very OK place

The positives. Beautiful sites, lots of wildlife, plenty of trails for biking and hiking. The negatives. It was a bit of trash pretty much all over the place. The mini golf course needs maintenance.

Open Spaces and great views of San Bernardino

This is such a great campsite. It was my first backpacking campsite, and I've revisited once since then. There are lots of established campsites and they're easy to find. Expect very high winds at night. Setup your camp behind established rock walls and trees and you'll be okay. Both times I've gone, I was in a hammock, and the wind was a bit of a problem.

The views from this campsite are amazing and there's a fresh spring just a 1/4 mile up the trail. It's not too far, and the hill isn't too steep, but it is a 9000ft elevation, so it's a bit of work. Well worth it though, and a fun place to stay.
