Capilla Peak Campground

Choice campground on a sketchy one-lane mountain road

The trip to Capilla Peak camp is not for the faint of heart.  You'll be traveling on a one-lane gravel and dirt track to 9200 feet above MSL, but once you get there, it's worth the journey.  On a weeknight in August I had the entire campground to myself.

A couple of the eight sites have wooden awnings which are great on windy days.  There is also a pavilion for group gatherings.  All of the sites have fire rings and picnic tables.  There isn't a place to park a trailer in the camp itself, but there are spots at the top of the driveway.  I wouldn't bring a trailer up here anyway.

Easy access to the Crest Trail and the hike to Osha Peak is an easy two miles.  Past Osha Peak you enter a pretty nasty burn scar and the trail becomes harder to follow.  Hardly any people but tons of deer to keep you company!
