Jackson Flats

About

Jackson Flats is a group tent camping facility nestled at 7,500 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains, adjacent to Grassy Hollow Visitor Center. The campground features five walk-in tent sites spread among pine and fir groves, with Sites 1-3 accommodating up to 40 people and Sites 4-5 holding 30 people, for a total capacity of 180 campers. Each group site includes long picnic tables, a food preparation table, bear-proof food storage lockers, a large BBQ grill, and a group fire ring. Three restroom buildings with flush toilets are distributed throughout the campground. Potable water spigots are available at each group area. Two large gathering areas with central fire pits provide communal space. The campground connects to the Pacific Crest Trail via a short spur and offers access to the Jackson Flat Geological Trail and Interpretive Trail. The nearby Grassy Hollow Visitor Center hosts nature programs and guided hikes on summer Saturdays. This is a walk-in tent-only facility with severely limited parking; vehicles may only enter sites to load and unload gear.
