Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The campground is a practical jumping-off point for outings rather than a service-heavy basecamp. 6-mile route used by hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders which climbs forested slopes, offers views toward Banning Pass and Mount San Gorgonio, and connects into the Pacific Crest Trail for longer treks.








Length limits vary by campsite.

“Camp ground was in great shape. As it’s about end of season the pit restrooms were quite ripe. Over all I have missed this area. ”

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,744 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
