About
McGill Group Sites is located in the Mt. Pinos area of Los Padres National Forest at an elevation of 7,400 feet, where temperatures run 15-20 degrees cooler than the Los Angeles Basin. The campground sits in a mixed pine forest and provides access to over 1,250 miles of maintained trails in the forest. The facility offers two group campsites designed for large parties. Group Site 1 can accommodate up to 80 people with parking for 10 vehicles, while Group Site 2 holds up to 60 people with similar vehicle capacity. Maximum vehicle length is 35 feet with paved back-in driveways. Each site includes picnic tables and grills. Vault toilets are available on site, but there is no potable water, so groups must bring an adequate supply. Campfires are allowed with a valid campfire permit. The area has bears and raccoons, so all food must be stored in approved containers. Pets are allowed on leashes no longer than 6 feet. Cellular service is limited in this area.
Directions
From I-5, take the Frazier Park exit (Frazier Mountain Park Road) and travel west approximately 6 miles. The road name changes to Cuddy Valley Road, then to Mt. Pinos Highway. Continue approximately 5 miles further; the campground is on the north side of the road.
