2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin accommodations near Burbank include rustic and modern options at varying price points. Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon offers cabins with full hookups and amenities including picnic tables, fire pits, and on-site toilets and showers. The White Lodge and Tiny Tiki Retro Hideaway provide more secluded cabin experiences with drinking water and shower access. "The Glamping tent was nice! It had a very comfortable queen bed, 2 lamps, a fan, a heater, a mini fridge and a microwave. It also had a futon type couch that made into a bed."
Rustic log cabins at Crystal Lake Recreation Area remain available from April through December, while fully furnished options at Valencia Travel Village operate year-round. Millard Trail Camp offers more primitive cabin rentals accessible via a short hike from the parking area. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. A visitor mentioned, "I saw two to three cabins along the outskirts of the campground that I assume were for rentals. There was one family at one of the cabins the night I stayed."
Most furnished cabins include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - some offer only outdoor fire pits while others provide refrigerators, microwaves, and basic cooking equipment. Antfarm LA cabins include access to picnic tables and market facilities, though cooking options remain limited. Cabins at Zorthian Ranch feature fire pits and picnic tables but lack shower facilities. Visitors staying in cabins with minimal amenities should pack accordingly or utilize on-site stores when available.

ScoutSite is clean, many activities on weekends They also add 1000lb or catfish and trout weekly depending on season. Members were friendly. Downside is wifi when the campsite is 75+ full and only about a dozen paved spots. Major are gravel and dirt.
ScoutBe careful which showers you use because the older ones are not in good condition and the newer ones still have trouble maintaining warm water.
TravelerI was lucky to find this place. It’s well run, comfortable, friendly. Nice spots.
Travelervery pretty sight the mountain air is incredible. the staff is very helpful and friendly. at night the drunks go crazy and the bears steal their food.
ScoutIt was a nice place and the people were nice. I checked with the staff on day one if their water was potable. They confirmed everything is potable. My dog had explosive diarrhea day 1 and by the time I got home I had fever and diarrhea. It’s been a rough ride ever since. My dog and I did not share food. We only used the tap as a water source. My husband ate all of our food any only drank store bought drinks. No water. He’s fine. Just me and the dog riding it out. Don’t learn my lesson the hard way. Bring your own water and enjoy it.
GuideSome of the campground seems very nice and some is the exact opposite. Pool is very nice and HUGE. But, there are entire sections of this campground that have just faded into non-existent. The bathrooms aren’t great. There are a lot of stationary campers(or what looks to be…) which isn’t really our favorite site to see. But, it was included with our membership and we aren’t going to leave to go pay for somewhere else.
TravelerI do recommend. Beautiful, peaceful place. Good folks. It’s right near Magic Mountain theme park and many useful stores nearby: Home Depot, Walmart, Target, genetic stores, movie theaters. I’ll camp here again.
TravelerI never had the chance to stay at this site. We’re so disappointed as it seems amazing. My reservation request expired and I never heard from them.
The reviews in Hipcamp are all so positive but none are newer than Aug 2025. So I wonder if they’re just not booking anymore. Seems strange based on the effusive praise of the host. Hope they’re ok.
Wanted to leave this review so others are aware that they should have a plan B if they attempt to book this site.
ScoutNot very secluded, tight spaces, but very mellow campground, great staff, I really enjoyed it.
Cabin camping near Burbank, California provides lodging options within the Angeles National Forest and surrounding areas. The San Gabriel Mountains rise to elevations of 3,000-7,000 feet, creating temperature differences of 10-15 degrees cooler than Burbank proper. Most cabin facilities operate year-round with limited seasonal closures during winter months when mountain roads can become hazardous from December through March.
Hiking to waterfalls: Crystal Lake Recreation Area offers multiple trail options leading to scenic destinations. "There is a nice hike of about 1/2 mile up to Millard Falls that is easy for kids and grown ups. Wild life all over the place and a great stream in the wet season through summer," notes a Crystal Lake Rec Area Campground visitor.
Visiting historical sites: Explore the historic Zorthian Ranch which features unique architectural elements and hiking trails. "Quaint spot that may or may not be currently open, has beautiful hiking and a small spot for picnic," reports one camper.
Water recreation: While natural lakes are limited, some facilities offer water activities. "They had a movie on the beach when we were there, and fun water toys out," shares a visitor about resort-style options at nearby facilities.
Mountain views: Millard Trail Campground offers scenic mountain vistas despite its proximity to urban areas. "Beautiful area, trail and falls (especially right now - May 2023)," remarks one visitor about the landscape.
Quiet evenings: Cabin stays at more remote locations provide peaceful nights. A visitor at the Tiny Tiki Retro Hideaway appreciates the "Amazing spot and stunning views" away from urban noise.
Wildlife sightings: The foothills and mountains surrounding Burbank host diverse wildlife. "I saw my first rattlesnake and heard the coyotes at night. Very peaceful spot for a long weekend," notes a visitor at Antfarm LA, highlighting natural encounters available even near urban areas.
Weather variations: Mountain cabin locations experience significant temperature drops at night even in summer months. "It was nice and cool a good break from the heat," reports a Crystal Lake camper who stayed in August.
Parking logistics: Many cabin areas have limited parking that may be separated from the actual accommodations. "Parking is about 150 yards away, down a hill, so be prepared to haul your gear," advises a Millard Trail Campground visitor.
Water availability: Water access varies significantly between sites. At Antfarm LA, "Peaceful, restful and a perfect getaway from the city. Went on a beautiful hike with my son and explored the area. Nice views of the Angeles National Forset Mountains."
Consider cabin rentals over tent camping: Furnished cabins provide comfort for families with young children. "The Glamping tent was nice! It had a very comfortable queen bed, 2 lamps, a fan, a heater, a mini fridge and a microwave."
Check pool availability: Some facilities offer swimming options popular with children. "They have two nice pools one for adults and one for families. They have a nice size laundry room that stays clean," shares a visitor at Valencia Travel Village.
Look for organized activities: Certain sites offer structured recreation for kids. "They had activities for the kids like arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course or you can rent paddle boards or watch a movie on the beach," notes one reviewer about family-friendly programming.
Reserve premium spots early: Cabin sites with RV hookups book quickly, especially waterfront or mountain view locations. "We stayed in spot 2118 and it had a nice view of the bay. Be fully aware that these spaces can be very tight," advises a visitor at RV resorts.
Check noise factors: Some cabin and RV areas experience noise disruptions. "We stayed here 2 nights because it's a Thousand Trails campground and we're TT members. It's in the middle of nowhere in the desert. That's both good and bad. It's very very close to railroad tracks and at night the loud train kept waking us up," warns a Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon guest about potential sleep disruptions.
Consider internet connectivity: Many cabin sites have limited or no WiFi access. "No WIFI and reception for Verizon was hit or miss," notes a Soledad Canyon visitor about connectivity challenges that can affect work-related stays.
