SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
McGill Campground and Group Campground allows pets throughout its spacious sites surrounded by pine trees. Several campgrounds near Frazier Park accommodate dogs and other pets, including Chuchupate Campground and Mt. Pinos Campground, both operating seasonally from May to September. Campers can set up tents or park RVs at most pet-friendly locations in the area. Campsite areas are generally well-separated, providing privacy for families camping with dogs. The campgrounds feature picnic tables, fire pits, and toilets, though many lack drinking water, so visitors should bring their own water supply for themselves and their pets. The Los Alamos Campground at Pyramid Lake offers more amenities for pet owners, including drinking water, sewer hookups, and access to a market.
Dogs must remain leashed throughout most campgrounds in the area. Cherry Creek Campground provides a more secluded option for those seeking to camp with pets away from crowds, though reaching it requires four-wheel drive. Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Area welcomes pets and offers extensive trails for hiking with dogs. Wildlife encounters are common in these areas, so keeping pets secured is essential for their safety. Most campgrounds in the region have pit toilets that are kept relatively clean. The mountain setting provides cool, comfortable temperatures during summer months, though fall and winter camping can be quite cold, with temperatures sometimes dropping below freezing after sunset. Campers should plan accordingly when bringing pets during colder seasons to ensure their comfort.

Seems like a popular place
Economical for California and the area. Off the beaten path from all the craziness by the beach.
We are just passing through CA or it would not be my top spot. They nickel and dime a lot of things, showers pets. We paid online and we pull up and all of a sudden getting charged $5 a day extra for pets including a cat that doesn't leave the camper. Was not thrilled about that.
Otherwise, it was scenic, had a camp store, was close to restaurants, had a gate to drive into, so the place was pretty secure. Seemed like a lot of people gathered on the weekends.
We had the dirt campground which wasn't my favorite but all that was left, while the other campgrounds had cement pads. It was still pretty level.We did have cell reception, nice views and they had a water park for kids during summer months, though wasn't open while we were there.

GuideChula Vista Campground at Mt. Pinos
Great Hike-in campground with nice hiking nearby!
At the top of the Cuddy Valley road is a large parking lot (Adventure Pass required) for the hiking trail to the top of Mt. Pinos. Off to the other side is a dirt trail on the edge of a meadow, after about 200/300 yards is Chula Vista Campground. The camp sites vary greatly in size and flatness, so check around for the good ones.
First Come First serve camping, with some great spots overlooking the nearby meadow. The sites were clean and decently spread out, with fire rings and picnic benches.
It can get pretty windy up here so make sure your tent is staked down well. If you don't have an Adventure Pass, Mountain View Mini Mart in Frazier Park is the closest place i know that sells them. $5 a day, or $30 for the year pass. (you can get a second year pass for only $5).
Met a guy named Bob and helped set up his telescope in the parking lot, he let anyone who wanted check out the amazing night sky!
Pros: Free camping!
Great hiking nearby.
Shady, clean sites.
Great sky gazing!
Cons: Lots of flies, very active during the day.
Bathrooms were pretty messy. below average for vault toilets. Bring extra TP.

Mcgill Campground And Group Campground
Epic Sunrises & Mountain Views
Our moto-escape from L.A. to McGill Campground in Frazier Park/ Pine Mountain was absolutely perfect. Coming from the south, we took the back way through Ojai, up the 150 and 33 over to Lockwood Valley Road and then Cuddy Valley Road. The fresh air and cooler temps were a welcome exchange to our music as service was spotty gliding through the twisties leading to the site. There is a very helpful map posted on the board as you enter to ensure navigation of the campsite loops which can be steep, so go slow! We were in Loop 3, and objectively think our spot #56 was out of this world: FANTASTIC view, shaded, flat ground for the tent, plenty of space by the table and fire, close to the bathrooms but not too close to our neighbors and in perfect alignment of gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. There is no power or running water at this site, so the toilets do not flush and you may need to grab extra water & supplies at the local Pine Mountain General Store which is about 17 miles away, so don't be running on fumes when you arrive. Our host was extremely lovely and check in was simple. Would also note that we didn't love spot #57, which did not have a view of the mountainside and was tucked behind the bathrooms, but spot #55 would be a great second choice to #56 - great view, lots of open space, just a little less shade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Themed Park!
First of all, staff was amazing. We were originally supposed to arrive on a Tuesday and we’re not able to make it. Staff shifted our reservation instead of us eating the missed night cost. Also super accommodating allowing us to extend a day longer last minute. Park is tight quarters with 200 spots. Two laundry rooms/bathrooms with showers on site, plus a cute little dog park! We stayed for three nights. Every “road” in the park is themed with California or Hollywood themed decorations and murals. We were parked right next to a Mister Roger’s mural across from the laundry/bathrooms. My only complaint in the noise level at times which is not from the park itself. Helicopters would fly over randomly, sometimes at night and it could be annoying when trying to sleep. Otherwise, absolute GEM of a place!

Love’s travel stop Bakersfield
Good spot
Good spot to stop. They have dedicated RV hook up sites. I didn’t need hook ups since I was only there for a night stop therefore I don’t know the rates. Dog park is always a great thing to see at loves locations!

Guide to Frazier Park
Located in the Los Padres National Forest at elevations ranging from 4,000-8,800 feet, camping near Frazier Park offers cooler summer temperatures than surrounding areas. Temperatures often drop below freezing after sunset during fall and winter months, with nighttime temperatures sometimes reaching the 20s even in late September. The area sits at the convergence of several ecosystems, creating diverse wildlife habitats.
What to do
Mountain hiking trails: Mt. Pinos Campground provides access to extensive hiking networks with rewarding views. "A great hike up the road from the campground entrance. I guess it's about a 4.8 mi hike to the top. We didn't go all the way but the part we did was very nice, gorgeous views and a well kept trail," notes a camper at Chuchupate Campground.
Stargazing opportunities: The high elevation and minimal light pollution make this area ideal for astronomy. "Great hiking trails thanks to all the cross country skiing trails... Ranger said he has written 100 tickets this summer for people having campfires when it's posted no campfires," mentions a visitor to Chula Vista Campground at Mt. Pinos. Astronomy groups frequently set up telescopes and welcome visitors.
Off-road vehicle recreation: For motorized adventure, dedicated recreation areas offer maintained trails. "This place is nice because it's huge! Many different camp areas with bathrooms and overhangs for shade, no hook ups for RV's though. If you have dirt bike's or quads bring them with because the riding is great," shares a visitor at Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Area.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds feature well-spaced sites. "The group site is perfect and can easily fit 12-15 families/tents. Good parking area with toilets across the road," writes a camper at McGill Campground And Group Campground, adding that "The 1/4 hiking trail around the site is perfect for kids exercising some independence."
Mountain views: Campsites situated on higher elevations provide scenic vistas. One camper at Campo Alto Campground describes it as "a great campground if you truly want to get away. This campground doesn't have much to offer in the sense of amenities but if you're looking for peace, quiet and few people then this is the spot."
Night sky visibility: The remote location minimizes light pollution. "This is a convenient and fun escape from the city. Just above Fraizer Park you can find mountaintop hiking and sledding depending on the time of year," writes a reviewer about McGill Campground. Another notes the "gorgeous view of the sunrise through the trees" at their site.
What you should know
Fire restrictions vary seasonally: Check current regulations before planning campfires. "Beautiful tree lined area that doesn't get too hot in the summer. That said, late sept it can get below freezing. There are also often fire restrictions in place so keep up to date on the latest," advises a McGill Campground visitor.
Limited water availability: Most campgrounds lack running water. A camper at Cherry Creek Campground states, "If you have 4WD and a strong stomach, you can squeeze all the way up the mountain to a beautiful campsite at the end of the trail at the top of the mountain."
Insect presence: Flies and bees can be prevalent during warmer months. "There's a large fly & bee population... the bees swarmed our dogs water & our hand water station. Leaving any uncovered water out for more than 2 minutes meant it was full of drowning bees," warns a Campo Alto camper.
Tips for camping with families
Pack extra layers: Temperature fluctuations require appropriate clothing. "This is at 8,000 feet so you can see a long way and have a great view of the stars at night. I gave it three stars because there was no water except for one spigot that needed a water key," notes a visitor to Mt. Pinos Campground.
Group site options: Several campgrounds offer dedicated group camping areas. "We discovered this campground with friends who booked a group camping weekend. We have now been back yearly for that trip and our son's birthday," shares a McGill Campground visitor.
Wildlife awareness: Animals are active in the area, particularly at dawn and dusk. "Night time was also great, clear skies, bright moon and stars, and neon glow of the lights of the off road vehicles... Nice morning wake up call from coyotes," reports a camper at Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Area.
Tips for RVers
Campground access limitations: Some campgrounds have narrow roads and limited turnaround space. "Beautiful campground in a secluded mountain area, if only I could fit into it! I reserved a spot based on the site saying it would accommodate 40', then noticed the campground as a whole recommended 22' max... Amazing spot for vans or tents but anything bigger, check out McGill campground right up the road," advises an RVer about Mt. Pinos.
Leveling challenges: Many sites feature uneven terrain. "Campo Alto is a small campground with 17 individual and 2 group sites with an 8 mile 2 lane route from the main road up to flat mountain top. Roads entirely paved with mostly gravel unlevel parking near sites," shares a visitor to Los Alamos Campground at Pyramid Lake.
Limited hookups: Most pet-friendly campgrounds near Frazier Park offer dry camping only. "Campground has three separate site loops with about 90 Dry Camp camp locations. Water spigots are available in some areas, but not for permanent hookup," notes a Los Alamos Campground visitor.
