The coordinates listed are incorrect. They led us through Angeles National Forest. It told us to park our car in the middle of the highway with no other roads or turn offs around. There were a TON of cars racing through down the roads. We even witnessed the immediate aftermath of some people racing who ended up getting in a pretty bad wreck. Be careful just driving on that road.

We decided on this campground because it was nearby when we felt we needed to setup camp for the night on our drive from L.A. to Vegas after spending the day at Universal. We’ve stayed at 4 other free camping areas during our roadtrip so far and this is my favorite. Sure it doesn’t provide creeks and streams but it felt safe and was actually really nice. There is cell service which is something that we haven’t found yet while boondocking. There are also bathrooms that we didn’t use as we camped across the way from them. Each campsite has a shaded area on a cement slab, at least one fire pit (our spot had two, one was setup as more of a grill), and a picnic table. The sites were all clean aside from a few small things left by the previous campers. I would definitely stay here again.

This campground is pretty secluded along Shaver Lake. However, the spaces are extremely close together. We camped on a Tuesday and there was only one other camper so we were able to stay across the lot from them. There is a LOT of wildlife around here so you can expect to hear tons of raccoons, skunks, birds, and cows throughout your stay. A skunk sprayed near our camp and we smelled it most of the night. There is a bathroom at the campsite but it was pretty disgusting and was filled with trash. You have to cross over quite a few cattle grates and through many patches of single road so proceed with caution. There are fire rings and during our stay, campfires were allowed.
