About
Mountain Oak Campground offers a peaceful retreat in the Angeles National Forest, just northwest of the Los Angeles metro area. Situated at 6,200 feet elevation in the San Gabriel Mountains, the campground is shaded by oak, ponderosa, and sugar pines. The 17 sites are equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and bear-proof food containers, with flush toilets and potable water from a hand pump available on site. The campground provides convenient access to Jackson Lake, a 3-acre lake formed by the San Andreas fault and stocked with trout and bluegill. Powerboating is prohibited, making it ideal for peaceful swimming, canoeing, and fishing. Hikers can access trails near the campground, including portions of the Blue Ridge Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. The campground is operated by Mountain High Resort and requires a Big Pines Pass for parking; Adventure Passes and Interagency Passes are not accepted. Groceries and services are available in Wrightwood, approximately 8 miles away. The nearby ski resort town of Wrightwood also offers restaurants and recreational activities.
Directions
From Wrightwood, take CA State Route 2 west 2.4 miles to the Palmdale/Jackson Lake sign at County Route N4 (Big Pines Highway). Turn right onto N4 and continue 3.1 miles. The campground entrance is on the right.
