About
Spring Camp Campground is a small, primitive facility in the Angeles National Forest within the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Located at approximately 4,700 feet elevation, it provides a backcountry camping experience for OHV riders and hikers accessing the area via the Rincon-Shortcut OHV Route. The campground features three designated campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. A single vault toilet serves the area. There is no potable water; seasonal stream water may be available but requires boiling or treatment, and flow can be minimal during dry periods. Hitching rails are available for equestrian visitors. Access is via rough forest roads, and an OHV route permit is required to use the Rincon-Shortcut Trail. Campers must have an Adventure Pass or America the Beautiful Pass displayed on their vehicle. A California Campfire Permit is required for any fire or stove use, and fire restrictions may be in effect depending on conditions.
