About

Jackson Flat Group Campground is a walk-in tent camping facility set among groves of pine and fir trees at 7,500 feet elevation in Angeles National Forest. The campground features five group sites accessed by a 200-yard walk from the centrally-located parking area. Sites 1, 2, and 3 accommodate up to 40 people each and include three long group picnic tables, one food prep table, three bear-proof food storage lockers, one large barbecue grill, a group fire ring, permanent trash cans, and a water spigot. Sites 4 and 5 accommodate up to 30 people each with two long group picnic tables, one food prep table, two bear-proof lockers, and similar amenities. Three restroom buildings with flush toilets are located throughout the campground. The campground offers two large gathering areas with central fire pits and nearby water spigots. An observation deck provides scenic views, while two nature trails loop through the campground. A spur trail connects to the Pacific Crest Trail, and another trail leads to Jackson Lake for extended hiking. The nearby Grassy Hollow Visitor Center offers nature programs, hikes, and activities on Saturdays during summer. Average summer daytime temperatures reach the low 80s with cool nights. Bears frequent the area, requiring proper food storage in approved containers. Parking is limited and carpooling is recommended. Campers may drive into sites only to load and unload gear.
