"Campground
We had been driving around the campground loops for more than an hour, and had just about given up, when we say the sign for overflow camping near the exit of the Chilao campground loop"
"Great spot to get away from the big city being only a 45min drive from the Downtown, couldn’t ask for more"
"When you can’t do a 2h hike before setting camp, but you also don’t want to camp close to your car, Millard campground is perfect. The parking lot is just behind the corner out of view."
"Cool drive to get to the campground. You drive up and down these hilly roads up the mountain to get there. Once there, there's a parking lot that fits about 20 cars."
"It's a very hot campground close to a road and train. Sites are big. Tons of things to do for adults and children."
"Surrounded my mountains, which is nice. Staff is happy and helpful."

"Or one right next to you if you don't have one. The water does not taste too good, but it serves for washing. A bear was on our stuff the first night. I whistled and it ran away."
"It’s Close to Hidden Springs and Switzer falls, surrounding area is very beautiful. I’ll be back!"
"Great view but on the weekend we had multiple cars doing donuts really close to our van. I felt uncomfortable with that."

* Close to LA. This is about a 15 minute drive then 30 minute hike from my house.
* The stream is great."
"Very beautiful now that the canyon vegetation has grown back in and there are plenty of trails in the area for miles of hiking. Lots of wildlife. Fire rings in camp sites but check for fire permits."

"Trail camp is in the canyon so it’s an easy 3.5 mile hike in, but a tough hike out of the canyon."
"Forage your way through the Valley Forge Trail, for an intimate night in the wilderness at one of its remote camps."

"Beautiful trails near by, next to a stream, gorgeous views, and of course that mountain air! Trees are perfect for hammocks."
"It is set back from the road a little giving you a quieter experience away from the 2. This would be a good first car camping spot for families with young children."
TravelerThis is a great family oriented campground. They have two nice pools one for adults and one for families. They have a nice size laundry room that stays clean. They have several bathrooms and showers throughout the campground. We stayed all the way in the back of the campground and it was nice and quiet!
TravelerI had a nice stay. Noticed they had one random night available on a Monday. There were at least 3 other empty sites. I don’t know why people don’t cancel their reservation if they’re not going to come. There are very few sites here. I did smell what I thought might be the bathrooms quite a bit wafting through my campsite. They don’t smell bad when using them though….. so maybe it was one of the nearby rvs?? Not sure. Love that the beach is dog friendly. Many other beachfront campsites in SoCal have beaches that are not dog friendly. Next to the highway but all you can mostly hear are crashing waves. Very chill.
ScoutCamping here is pure, no internet, no electricity, just warm campfires(when safe), playing by the stream, exploring on foot and enjoying meaningful family bonding time. You will easily feel the endless joy here, no matter what the circumstances. The campground managers are wonderful people, always dedicated to crazy flips 3d taking care of your trip. They work hard to maintain the landscape green, well-watered and very thoughtfully managed. The toilets are always clean, creating a comfortable feeling. The fresh stream is just a short distance away, just a few steps away and you can immerse yourself in nature right across the road.
ScoutWe stayed here for two nights, and it was a pretty pleasant experience! There were some cars parked near the entrance, but if you go a bit further down alongside the road you can find some nice spots. Use Google Maps; Waze takes you the wrong way, cause it's just right off the freeway, not down a long, very bumpy dirt road.
ScoutGreat quiet place just needs more lighting they should add showers and more bathroom because it gets dark
GuideNice little camp ground. They need to do some trash cleanup and people need to not be slots. There are dumpsters and water and multiple toilets. It's a bit close to the road, but it pretty. There is a nice breeze. Cause it's in a valley the sun isn't too bad
ScoutThis campground is well maintained. There is a dump station nearby. Great place to stop heading over the Grapevine.
TravelerIs a bit noisy. Almost full with long term tenants. Still possible to show up and find empty spot.
GuidePerfect last minute late night hold over stop
