My boyfriend and I went on our very first backpacking training trip here! I would definitely rate it as intermediate but definitely doable even as a beginner, assuming you are moderately fit. You can hear the babbling brook at all times of day, and it provides cool water for you as long as you have a filter. TO BE HONEST, I thought the latrine was pretty clean, so I guess this means I've seen some pretty disgusting latrines and porta-potties in my lifetime. All in all, a nicely kept campground for a weekend getaway that's just a 40 minute drive from LA.

The restroom was dirty which I didn't like the trash containers were full. The days we were there they weren't being empty, also there was trash everywhere. The reason they don't let portable bathrooms tents is because people would throw their poop into the river which is disgusting people need to respect Gods nature, please don't leave trash when you leave. Besides all this place is beautiful slightly quiet but some noisy with cars and motorcycles racing on the Main Street going up or down hill. Be careful and stay safe have a wonderful time, oh also didn't see or hear any bears just foxes

There are also a few man-made obstacle courses for dirt bikes, ATV and other off road vehicles. The overall difficulty for off-roading is 3/10 with the main course being really wide. But if you are adventurous and want to go through the smaller trails, you do so knowing the risks. Advanced-ticketing is required on their official website. Currently it's open weekends only between 8:00 to 4:30. It's Sep 2026 when we went and it rained a week ago. There is plenty of water, mud, and hills to explore. But there is construction going on which has cut off access to a large portion of what used to be the main course. Still fun! Hope they get the construction done soon!

Along the way, there are opportunities to stop at several other peaks, such as Dawson, Hawkins, Throop, and Burnham. This would add several more miles to the total hike. The trail is single file with varying sizes of loose rock under foot. Most of the trail is a fairly tame ascension, but there are also multiple areas of decline, which of course means climbing up on the way back. You will follow signs to Windy Gap, Pacific Crest Trail, then Baden-Powell. At the summit, there are nice 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains and cities far below. A dedicated monument and plaque stands, honoring and named after the founder of the Boy Scouts. parking - adventure pass required for the parking lot tip - this hike starts at about 5,000 feet, so it may be cooler than expected, depending on the season. In the summer heat, though, it's still quite warm.

It's about 45 minutes from the bottom of the hill off Sierra Madre Ave and San Gabriel Canyon rd. No cellphone service a mile from that intersection going north into the canyon. If you're going in two or more cars you should bring walkie talkies and that'll be useful when you look for a campsite if it's packed or all sites are taken. Drive around separately to locate a site for yourself. Some sites allow for single car usage and others allowed for three or more cars. The car that pays for the campsite doesn't need to buy the adventure pass but those additional cars do and it's $5 per day. As soon as you find a site. Park your vehicle there and trek over to the ranger station and tell them the Loop your on and the campsite # your at and pay the fee. They'll give you a piece of paper you attach to your site number so when the ranger comes by to verify they'll know you paid. They have trails to Crystal lake and around the campsite. Bring plenty of drinkable water especially during the summer months. Most campsites have shade but some do not. There are roughly 125 campsites in all. You can just go there for the day but you'll still need an adventure pass to park in the parking lot. The actual lake as of summer 2025 is low and not safe to swim in but you can fish and you'll need a fishing license to do that. You don't need a 4x4 vehicle to go up to the campsite as the roads are all paved. Come and check this campground out in your next adventure to your local mountains!
