About
Nettle Springs Campground sits at 4,450 feet elevation in the remote backcountry of the Mt. Pinos Ranger District within Los Padres National Forest. The small campground features pinyon pine-shaded sites accessible via Apache Canyon Road (Forest Road 8N06), a dirt road suitable for passenger vehicles and small recreational vehicles. This is a primitive, no-fee campground operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system. The remote location means minimal amenities: no potable water is available, so campers must pack in all water supplies. The area provides access to the surrounding national forest lands for hiking and wildlife viewing. Camping is limited to 14 consecutive days. Campfires are permitted when allowed by current fire restrictions, though campers should verify conditions with the Mt. Pinos Ranger District before arrival, especially during fire season.
Directions
Located at the end of Apache Canyon Road (Forest Road 8N06) in the Mt. Pinos Ranger District. The dirt road is passable by passenger vehicles.
