Placerita Canyon Los Pineros Trail Sites

Hiking enthusiasts will find these group-only sites require advance reservations through the park office and access via a short trail connection from Placerita Canyon Road or approximately one mile from the Nature Center. The walk-in sites provide picnic tables and water spigots, with portable restroom facilities nearby. A stream and waterfall trail leads directly from the camping area, offering immediate access to water features along the hiking route.

Located in the Los Angeles area, these sites specifically accommodate youth groups and special-interest organizations rather than individual family camping. The group-focused reservation system and hike-in access make this option well-suited to organized camping trips seeking camping near Santa Clarita with trail access from the campsite.

For group camping

I have not stayed at this site yet, but discovered it recently, and so I am adding it for people who are looking for group camping options in the Los Angeles area/ San Fernando Valley area. These sites can only be reserved by groups if you call the park office in advance.

It’s a short hike in from one trail that connects to Placerita Canyon Rd, or a ~1 mile hike from the Nature Center.

Picnic tables and water spigots are available in the group sites, with a port-o-potty nearby.

Beautiful stream/waterfall trail directly from the sites
