This is a great campground in the Cleveland national forest, east of San Juan Capistrano. Camping fees are $20 per night. Sites have picnic tables, fire rings, and flattened areas for tents. There are over 40 sites, and each has ample space. Lots of great hiking trails nearby. Bathrooms with pit toilets are accessible. There are water spigots, but they were turned off when I was there. Bring water just in case! There are dumpsters for trash- please use them, instead of leaving trash at the beautiful campsites. Dog friendly.

Clean and comfortable campground that provided peace and a good night's sleep ... A good amount of the spots are closed right now (10/31/22) for renovation so be sure to make sure there's a space available before you submit your payment envelope at the gate!

We went on New Years but just for the day and left once it got dark. I've been here once before and enjoyed it. There is trash in the surrounding bushes. Mostly of toilet paper. My guess is people not wanting to walk to the not very far restrooms. The drive from the 5 fwy is nice and not too long. I'm planning an overnight stay very soon.

Love this place. I would say it feels secluded other than being neighbors next to you. Spacious. Too

This has to be one of my favorite campgrounds. Unfortunately it’s a pay campground ($20). It’s becoming the norm, so clean up after yourself so the forest service doesn’t have more reasons to increase the fees. You do get generous campsites, some of which have some space between sites and bushes for privacy. There is also dispersed potable water spigots, vaulted toilets, and trash. Weirdly the trash is not animal resistant. Some sites are pretty big. My 40’ truck/trailer fit in several. Beware though, the final 1 mile road is steep, with tight curves, very narrow with only room for 1 vehicle, and only 2 turn outs. It’s paved, not easy, but doable. The area is pretty and green with trees and bushes. The trailhead for the San Juan trail is just outside the campgrounds with another trailhead in the way to sites 40-50. Great for a hike or for mountain biking. The trailhead within the campground actually has lots of parking. Section 40-50 is for tent camping and currently closed for not obvious reasons. There is also a group site nearby which you call to reserve. It was relatively quiet even on the weekend when all the sites filled up (nearly empty during the week). There were lots of flies but not the kind that bite. Also, the cell service was spotty for Verizon. There was a decent connection at the trailhead just outside the campground.

Very nice, clean, peaceful and relaxing. Campgrounds are great with bathrooms spread throughout and running water at each group of campsites. The Forest Rangers we're very kind and helpful and reviewed fire safety and cleaning up behind ourselves before we left.

There are entrances to the San Juan Trail behind a lot of the campsites. It was a lot of fun to run on, and beautiful! Some sites can be a bit close together, but there were very few people there when I went. There are two types of sites here, spurs and park/pitch a tent sites. I chose the spur because my car is my tent. To pay, you pull up to the main entrance, grab an envelope and then drive to your site. After filling out the relevant details and hanging the paper placard on your mirror, you walk the envelope with the fee in it to the deposit box at front.
