Camping & Hiking in the Mountains

Lake Arrowhead offers a variety of options to those wishing to camp in the surrounding National Forest.

Take a look at the hiking and camping trail map and choose one of our many trails (click the green buttons) and campgrounds available during the warms weather months.

Several family campgrounds in the area cater to tent and RV camping. Reservations are recommended.

For groups of thirty to ninety people, group campgrounds provide another option. Picnic tables, fire rings, and bathrooms -- and a certain distance from other campers -- make the group campgrounds a popular option for church group and scout campouts. Reservations are required.

The maintained campgrounds are based on a fee structure, and have ready access to hiking trails.

 

 

 

 

Remember! We are located over 1 mile high in altitude!
The air is thinner (and cleaner!) up here.
Please prepare yourself accordingly for a wonderful time
