This secluded camping spot is the ideal getaway if you want to escape the crowds. Travel up a somewhat rugged truck trail to get there--I was able to do it in my Volvo. The unobstructed views of Mount Baldy on one side and San Bernadino Valley to the other make this camp site one of a kind, for sure.
However, because this area is a legal shooting range, people come in to shoot bottles and whatever else they can find, then leave the broken glass, garbage and shells all over the ground. I'm glad I didn't bring my dog because his paws would've been destroyed. It was the last thing I would expect up there. We cleaned up as much as we could, but they'll be back and undo whatever we did.
The PCT runs right through the site, so you can hop on and get some great miles in before you turn back and get right into camp.
The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is that it is pretty exposed to both sun and wind. That area is prone to high winds and when they hit, be ready.
There are not bathrooms, fire rings or benches here--carry in, carry out.
Please pack it in - pack it out! All sites are first-come, first-served. Campfire permits are required for any type of fire use - campfires, charcoal BBQ's, or stoves. Campfires may not be allowed certain times of the year. See Current Conditions below or call the Lytle Creek Ranger Station (909-382-2851).
