Horrific camp site ever!!!! Please avoid this place at all cost!!!!! They are racist people!!!!!…read moreThey hate hispanic people!!!!! The father of the woman that works there almost attacked someone with a knife!!!! A knife!!!! His daughter had no remorse saying fucking Latin people!!!!!! Folks listen the safety of your family is the most import thing and having a grown man with a knife coming at you is a crime!!!!! Assault!!!!! When you plan this with months in advance directly with them doing paperwork and agreeing to the price they should honor it!!!! Not change their mind when everyone is showing up and saying that everything is costing extra....avoid having a family of 5 or more cuz they charge extra for that and extra for water and power and extra for cars and extra for wiping your ass.....because we confronted them about it they want to cut off power and close the pool when it's suppose to be open....leave the bathroom super dirty all because you don't agree with us and resort to hiding from all of the scary catholic hispanic families doing a yearly camping trip with families is super scary....please please please!!!!!! Avoid this camp ground in general they don't deserve your money use it somewhere else that will value you and your family.....people like that don't deserve to have your business they truly lost a customer that was going there for years!!!!! You're talking about 20+ FAMILIES!!! Bye!!!!!

This campsite cost $20 per night and has toilets that drop into the ground and a spigot for water…read more You'll need to bring everything else for your comfort and truck out your trash. 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!

Crystal Lake campground bathrooms need help! Let me emphasize this...the bathrooms here need…read moreserious help. I love camping and I understand that the idea of maintaining a toilet may be difficult in a forest environment, but these facilities need either regular maintenance or should just be shut down. The smell is horrific, and the amount of flies in the bathroom feasting on the poop that is drenched along the rim and bowl of the toilets says to me that these spaces haven't been cleaned in months. I really enjoyed Crystal Lake itself and the grounds, but I highly recommend that people plan an alternative solution for bathroom needs. In my opinion it is required that you bring your own toiletries and I feel the best solution is to bring your own portable toilet tent. I noticed others had made this choice and if I had known, my 3 day trip would have been better. On one night, in the women's bathroom, someone decided to poop on the floor. I imagine pooping in the toilet was too gross for them. The level of abhorrence that person must have felt is truly undeniable.

Many people that come to visit are very irresponsible and do not care about the land. Just recently we came and a group of young adults had barricaded the parking lot with branches and logs so others would think it was closed. We parked a little further out and hiked in the short easy hike to the falls to find them picnicking, drinking and hanging out inside the falls. As soon as we arrived they all left. The falls need major trash pick up. We will do our part and keep it clean for others to enjoy but as for others they need to do the same or this beautiful place will disappear.

*This is NO Resort* We planned to stay here a year due to working in the AV (home is in Alabama),…read morewe didn't make it 6 weeks. It was as if we were living back at home with strict parents; the unnecessary nit-picking, numerous calls to our place of employment to notify us that we were seen speeding through the park on numerous occasions (completely untrue), telling us that we need to make sure that we notify shippers of our site number because they don't want the drivers coming in and asking where sites are - which we did immediately upon moving in (I looked on the package as soon as I arrived home and it clearly had our site number on the package) - the management was borderline harassing us. I came through the gate one afternoon "slowly" making my way around the corner (the entrance is on somewhat of a hill, so you need to accelerate to move the truck up), the assistant manager coming down the opposite side of the road in her cart with her dog waving for me to slow down, I quickly (and in shock) looked at the speedometer which showed I was going 6 mph (an idle roll in a large diesel truck, a slow walking pace). Once we passed each other she did a quick u-turn and started following me to try and intimidate me, so I stopped - she drove up to my window to tell me that I was going 7 mph and speeding through the park and needed to slow it down. I didn't know how to respond to her it was so ridiculous and unnecessary. This is one of many times we were spoken to. I have seen the assistant manager several times going up and down each row looking/inspecting each and every site, front and back of each rig looking for something to call out. It wasn't until the calls started at my place of employment that we began looking for other options for the year that we found several nearby RV parks that were half the cost, twice the space size, clean grounds, offering much more with bike and walk paths, pools, and a much friendlier staff; just a happier place to be. We are good people, we drive safe, we respect others, we are quiet, we follow rules, work long hours all week and just want to come home and relax. It wasn't just us, several people in the 6 weeks we stayed voiced their frustration as well. We paid $1350/month for a very small site (all sites are on top of each other), you have freeway noise, and we had harassment from the management - this is no "Resort". Our reason for leaving was solely due to the unnecessary management nit-picking - the size of the sites, the closeness of the sites, the freeway noise we would have tolerated, and the admin girls that work in the office were pleasant and helpful. We only received a portion of our refund owed to us - so my suggestion is look around and do your research before committing. There are other parks nearby that offer more and half the cost, and you'll look forward to going home at the end of the day.

This place has a Nazi in a golf cart chasing you down for doing 6 mph. That same person will…read moreharass you tirelessly at your work with phone calls for the same thing in addition to other things like packages allegedly not being addressed correctly when they were. The first night we were there something was stolen from our truck. When walking around there was dog poop not picked up. The sites were so tiny you couldn't park a vehicle and comfortably set up a table and chairs outside. For 1300+ a month, I would expect more. How bout chasing thieves down in carts and leave the 6mph folks alone? Anyway, for half the price, go down the road a couple miles to thousand trails for a real camping experience. There is plenty of room to spread out and plenty of wilderness to enjoy. This place is nothing but an overpriced unruly glorified trailer park.

I have only stayed twice , but each time there has been a problem. This last one was Memorial weekend and I had scheduled to stay 3 days.. I get there and already some problems and also my fridge was not working and they couldnt do anything about it cause maintenance had left for the day so i had to fill my sink twice with ice to keep my food from going bad. I called the office several times and no one answered, I had to leave my cabin and go there twice, to get ice, I was told first thing in the morning they get in 730 and I would get a different fridge, again called several times and then again had to go to office and ask Again about the fridge, its now 1030 and the guy says OH they didnt come yet, UGH So he was like we will get them there , its now 12pm and still no fridge, one of the maintenance ladies came over takes a look at it and says yeah this one doesnt work. Thats why the people in the cabin moved over there. SO THEY KNEW IT WASNT WORKING. She apologizes its now almost 1pm and still no Fridge NOW I am pissed and tell them I am leaving cause whats the point , So I had to repack everything and mom and dogs, my mom mind you is disable and in wheelchair, While I was in the middle of packing the Guys show up with a Fridge, they was like so can I move it in, I said with a Tone.... REALLY.. I told him you can wait till I am done packing. So it took almost 7 days but I did get a full refund for this stay the only good thing out of this, But I have been trying since Memorial weekend to get Member Services to contact me or I contact them , to get my Membership fees back. For 3 weeks I have called every other day and been on hold at least 4 times a day for two hours each time with no answer then at 2 hour mark it disconnects me... So far I have spoken with May at Soledad and she can do is cancel my July 4th reservation, but she cant do anything about the Membership, I have used Facebook posting all this and they delete it, I have tried FB Messenger and again nothing , all they say is call Member Services.. I have spoken with Anna Maldonado Contact center Supervisor, and she says OH call member services, YET She was contacted to get a hold of me to help me with this... ALL I WANT IS MY MEMBERSHIP FEES BACK AND I WILL GO AWAY, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS DONT GO HERE..

I'm sure in the summer when it's 100° it's a much different hike than the one I took today at 55°, but it's not a difficult hike. The summit on the right side of the saddle is closed off for Rehabilitation, so you really can't do the full traverse of the entire ridge line and bag both summits (unless you break the rules and don't get caught). There's very little parking at the visitor center, so best just to park on the road and walk in unless you're going to reserve a picnic table or a camping site. The visitor center doesn't open until 9 AM and the gate is closed, so if you get there before then just head down the road and enter through the campground and there's plenty of parking on the dirt roads and you can still easily get to all your destinations.

The Nature Heritage Trail was pretty straightforward and easy. Was recommended by the staff on the Bobcat Trail. The Bobcat Trail wasn't hard and the view was amazing. Recommend hiking shoes if you do the Bobcat Trail. Also, recommend wearing long pants and closed toe shoes. There were narrow trails and bushes that could cut skin. There were a few picnic tables. Trails were not shaded. The Interpretive Center was small, but pretty cool as they had a very active snake on display. Overall, great place to hike. They have different trail lengths. Would come back.

We got one with really nice view of the sunset with a shaded area with the trees. Every campsite comes with a fire pit and a large bench table. The dumpsters and restrooms are throughout the campgrounds so you'll never be too far away. There's also a couple hikes nearby like the Silver Moccasin trail right outside. There's no running water so you need to bring your own! NOTE: No fires are allowed until Jan 2026 bc of the recent fires. This includes campfires and portable stoves. The current fee is $12 but will increase to $20 in May 2025. You can also contact the Chilao Visitor Center if you have any more questions.

Such a lovely weekend getaway. If you live in LA, but want to feel like you are far from the city,…read morethis is definitely the spot. It's less than an hour drive away It feels completely out of touch from the city bustle. There are many campsites, but they can fill up quickly on a holiday weekend. We went on Friday night around 11 PM and there was less than 10 sites left. I'd imagine by Saturday morning they were completely filled. I'd recommend driving around a couple times to scout which spot best fit your needs. There are some that feel really isolated from other campsites and there are a ton that are very close knit. The sunsets are phenomenal. And the overall atmosphere was serene and it was nice to see the amount of other people just collectively experiencing camping. There are water spouts, but we didn't end up using them. The bathrooms were as expected for a campground. There are hikes nearby that I would save off line prior to visiting so you can access directions while up there. And just an FYI, it is a first come first serve campground so it's nice as an option if you randomly decide you want to go camping! I don't know if there's any active creeks or rivers nearby, but it doesn't feel like a dry flat desert campground more on the forest type of campground. It's also dog friendly, definitely keep them on a leash for safety, and I would recommend clearing out the campsite floor prior to setting up because we did find a few nails and opened safety pins.
