We did a little family getaway and stayed at Pine Mountain Club and traveled about 20 minutes up the mountain to play in the snow! We all had a blast.

This campground is smaller than campground McGill. It is a beautiful forest. The Chumash believe this campground in the center of the world!

Camped at site 12. I would not recommend. The picnic table, and really only semi-level place is about 100 feet down from the driveway, and about 50 feet up a hill to the fire ring. I thought it would be okay to drive off the driveway, down to the table to unload my gear. (I have an AWD SUV, and it was no big deal.) Wrong! I had literally just stopped, had not unloaded anything, when I got yelled at by this horribly mean Camp One woman. I apologized, acknowledged my error and immediately moved my vehicle back to the driveway. No harm, no foul, right? Like 10-minutes later, this gal comes back, and apparently not satisfied, gets out of her truck and gives me a tongue lashing and starts threatening me with hundreds of dollars in fines. She keeps saying "I'm lucky the forest service did not catch me." I’m like, “I did what you said and immediately moved.” Why is she back giving me hell!? It was an honest mistake. She was treating me like a drove over bushes or destroyed or ruined sacred ground. It’s literally just dirt in a fairy rundown, very uneven campsite. But okay, that’s the rules. Fine, my bad. But it gets worse, she leaves again and then calls the forest service and a ranger comes and says he “got a report” about illegally being off the driveway. Like this crazy dingdong b**tch already yelled at me twice (after immediately cooperating the first time and doing exactly what she said) and she still calls the cops! I had to do a song and dance to get out of getting fined by a ranger, and I had not been there at the campground even a half hour. It left a very bad impression on me. It’s a pretty place, but not worth dealing with the camp wardens. As an aside, nowhere on the forest service page for this campground, the camp one web page or recreation web page for reservations was this rule listed. Maybe make it more obvious given that to them this is like a felony. Oh and meanwhile, read other reviews of people who go here to get drunk and high. So apparently, get wasted all you want, just don't drive off the road or you may get the firing squad.
