Big Pine Equestrian Group Campground

About

Big Pine Equestrian Group Campground sits in the San Bernardino Mountains at 6,820 feet elevation, surrounded by mature evergreens and open meadows. This single group site is purpose-built for equestrian camping, featuring four horse corrals, hitching racks, watering stations, and a dedicated horse staging area. The campground accommodates up to 25 people and up to 8 vehicles. Facilities include vault toilets, five picnic tables, two double pedestal grills, and a group campfire circle. Water availability is very limited, so campers should fill all RV tanks and trailers before arriving. No hookups or showers are available on-site; the nearest showers are at Serrano Campground. The location offers excellent access to recreation. Big Bear Lake is approximately 7 miles away, providing fishing for trout, bass, catfish, and other species. Cactus Flats, nearby, features roughly 68 miles of OHV and motorcycle trails with a picnic area. Numerous hiking and horseback riding trails are accessible from the campground area. Markets and restaurants are available in Fawnskin, about 7 miles away.
