Hike-in Camping A Wilderness Camping Permit is required. California State Parks and the USFS manage the two wilderness areas in the San Jacinto Mountains. Camping permits must be obtained from the agency that administers the area where you plan to camp. This permit serves as a hike-through pass within all state park and US Forest Service boundaries. For weekend camping in one of the four state wilderness campgrounds, obtaining a camping permit in advance is highly recommended.
Mount San Jacinto State Wilderness permit applications are available at www.parks.ca.gov/msjsp. Allow at least two weeks before your visit for valid permits to be issued and returned to you. For USFS camping info and permits, visit www.fs.usda.gov/sbnf. Within the state wilderness boundaries, camping is permitted only in designated campsites .

TravelerStone Creek 09
Had a nice time. The sites were clean and nice. Had fire ring, picnic table, and easy access to water and toilets. Also nice trails for hiking.
Two things. It got really cold at night, about 10 degrees colder that Idyllwild Town limits. And there was a no open flame aloud because of how dry it was—which we did not know until we arrived. Might want to check that out.

Super quiet relaxing spot. Kinda close to main road. But, store close by. Around the corner next to the village.

ScoutStone Creek camp and Saw mill flats
Hiked saw mill flats and loved to views of the pines and large boulder formations. The path was relatively easy to hike and we’re looking forward to checking out the surrounding trails. The stone creek camp ground is great if you don’t mind company and weekend partiers. If you’d like seclusion you’d probably want to hike in to one of the deeper camp options. The main bathrooms smelled terrible but if you walk to one of the ones farther to the end of camp they are much nicer. Pro tip Hike and camp safe!
