Currently closed for improvement work, Upper Shake Campground sits within Angeles National Forest near the Pacific Crest Trail corridor. The US Forest Service manages this established site, which allows alcohol but prohibits pets entirely.
Recent visitors report locked gates preventing vehicle access, though the area remains accessible on foot for day use and hiking. Infrastructure shows signs of deterioration, with picnic tables in disrepair and fire rings buried under overgrown vegetation. The campground connects directly to the PCT, drawing through-hikers and day visitors exploring campgrounds just outside Angeles National Forest. A dump station remains among the listed amenities, though current accessibility during the closure period is uncertain.
