About

Fort Tejon State Historic Park's group campground is located at the site of an 1854 U.S. Army fort in the Grapevine Canyon along I-5, approximately 76 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The campground is available for group reservations only and can accommodate up to 75 people. Facilities include two RV/trailer pull-in spaces with electric and water hookups, multiple tent camping areas, picnic tables, barbecues, and fire pits. Parking is adjacent to the campground. The campground features pit toilets and potable water available at spigots along the campground fence. While camping, visitors can explore the historic park's restored adobes, 300-year-old Valley Oak trees, and museum exhibits on army life and local history. The park is open from sunrise to sunset, with the visitor center and interpretive exhibits open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Living history demonstrations bring the 1850s and 1860s frontier California experience to life with costumed volunteers. Located near the top of Grapevine Canyon, the area sits along the San Andreas fault and was the epicenter of the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded in the U.S. The weather can be changeable, so layered clothing is recommended.
