Camping at Mountain Oak near Wrightwood

Public campground · Wrightwood · 14 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

A short drive from Wrightwood off State Route 2 onto Pines Highway (County Route N4) brings you to small Jackson Lake, a 3-acre mountain basin formed along the San Andreas Fault and fed mainly by snowmelt. The lake is the closest in the Wrightwood area and is stocked with trout and bluegill for fishing; powerboats aren't permitted, so canoeing and swimming are the common ways to use the water.

Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (73 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“There was no fires allowed, no gas stoves allowed, and the road was covered in dirt and brush and the campsite host wasnt even there.”

Bjorn J 1 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The Camp Host was wonderful! The flush toilets were kept clean and well stocked. We had a great time doing a night hike around Jackson Lake (which was conveniently located right across the highway!). We definitely see ourselves returning next season!”

Simon L 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The campgrounds are very pretty, with a lot of trees and shade throughout. Because it is hilly, we could only see two or three other campsites next to ours, which was nice.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,754 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.
