Angeles/Table Mountain
Overview
Angeles/Table Mountain Campground serves as a premier high-altitude retreat nestled deep within the Angeles National Forest near Wrightwood, California. At an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet, this facility offers a refreshing escape from the intense Southern California heat. It is a quintessential mountain destination where visitors can relax under a thick canopy of Jeffrey pines while enjoying the crisp, thin alpine air and frequent local wildlife sightings throughout the season.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just a short drive from the historic mountain village of Wrightwood, the park provides a breathtaking backdrop within the San Gabriel Mountains. The surrounding terrain is characterized by rugged slopes and dense forest, offering unique vantage points that look out over the Mojave Desert and the neighboring peaks. Access is primarily via the Angeles Crest Highway, a scenic drive that is as famous for its winding curves as it is for its stunning panoramic vistas.

This is a rustic forest service site designed for those who appreciate a traditional camping setup. The campground offers paved parking spurs that can accommodate RVs up to 34 feet, though it is important to note there are no utility hookups or dump stations on-site.

Each individual site is thoughtfully outfitted with a sturdy picnic table, a fire ring, and mandatory bear-resistant food lockers to ensure guest safety.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find an abundance of activities, ranging from hiking a segment of the Pacific Crest Trail to exploring the tranquil waters of nearby Jackson Lake. The area is a haven for birdwatching and nature photography, especially during the vibrant changing of seasons.

My friends and family camp here every year, and it’s always such a treat. Nestled in the Angeles National Forest, this campground sits in a hilly, forested area surrounded by oak and pine trees, with two spacious meadows and sweeping views of the nearby mountains and desert. The setting is perfect for hiking and biking, and the campground is especially well-known for its disc golf course if you’re into that. Cell service is spotty (fair warning), but it adds to the charm. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for weekends, as this spot is popular. The camp hosts are fantastic, super friendly, helpful, and always willing to share tips. On top of that, there’s a cozy lodge that hosts live music on weekends and a big outdoor space with games to keep everyone entertained. If you want a break from campfire cooking, the nearby town is just 2.4 miles away, with bars and restaurants with some offering live music, especially during the summer. Whether you’re looking for adventure or a peaceful escape from city life, this campground checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!

Great campground. Wish they described the campsites better for those that have never been there and only see online pictures. Reserved site #44 for 7 peeps and 2 cars. This campsite only fits maybe 2 tiny tents and fits 2 compact cars. Campsite is on a slope olunless you dig which we should have to do that. Ended up getting a First come First serve site #50 in the same loop. #50 was very spacious with more then plenty of room for our 4 tents that fit up to 6 people each. We were able to set up 2 changing tents that we use for shower too. The parking fit my suburban and a toyota tundra perfect with space to wiggle. Unfortunately we only used site #44 for parking. We had already paid for it and this issue, we didn't discovered until we got there. Because of this we call and extra vehicle for the late arrival instead of picking him up after work. #50 has great forest and desert views. Those where you can drink your favorite drink to. Hiking loop trail is just there, less then 20 feet away. Restroom, right next to campground. Water spigot, across your driveway in front of the restroom. The campground was very clean, restroom where attended to very frequently by staff. Mountain high host do a phenomenal job. We were there July 31st-August 4th. As we walked this campground, now we have an idea of the sites to pick next time. Don't rely on pictures. Read reviews with descriptions. The only review I read for #44 was not good enough. Oh well. Happy camping.

We loved it here! It is not too cold in August which is perfect. You should reserve if you want a good spot. We did first come first serve and was lucky to find a spot but most were taken by others. Restrooms are clean, no sink though. But there are some water hookups around.

Camp sites are spacious and clean. We took the hike that goes around the campground and it was just enough to see beautiful views and get a good hike in. The staff is so nice. Toilets are cleaned every morning but by the end of the day a little stinky.
