About
Peavine Campground sits at 6,100 feet elevation in the Big Pines area of Angeles National Forest, just off the Big Pines Highway (CA-2). This small walk-in tent campground offers 4 first-come-first-served sites shaded by scattered oak trees and Jeffrey pines. Each site includes a picnic table, campfire ring, and BBQ pedestal grill. Vault toilets are provided. Jackson Lake is within walking distance, offering fishing for stocked trout and bluegill, swimming, and canoeing. Powerboating is not permitted, making it a peaceful setting. Wildlife viewing opportunities include bobcats, mountain lions, bears, and Nelson bighorn sheep. The endangered California condor also inhabits the forest. The nearby ski resort town of Wrightwood offers restaurants and amenities. Hikers can access the Blue Ridge Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. The Angeles Crest Highway provides scenic drives through oak thickets, chaparral, and pine forests.
Directions
From Wrightwood, proceed on CA-2 for 3.6 miles to Big Pines Highway (N-4), turn slightly right onto Big Pines Highway, and proceed 2.4 miles to Peavine Campground on the left.
