Coldbrook Campground

Coldbrook Campground in Azusa, California, redefines accessible serenity with its shaded creekside location at the intersection of Coldbrook and Soldier Creeks in the Angeles National Forest. With 22 rustic campsites set in a mixed riparian woodland at 3,350 feet elevation, the campground offers a tranquil atmosphere complemented by nearby hiking trails, such as the Smith Mountain Trailhead, only 0.3 miles away, and the renowned Bridge to Nowhere hike within a short drive.

This year-round campground provides essential amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets but lacks potable water, so campers must bring their own. The peaceful creekside setting makes it ideal for day trips or weekend getaways, while proximity to the North Fork of the San Gabriel River offers opportunities for fishing and wildlife encounters, including occasional bear sightings. Despite some road noise due to its location along Highway 39, Coldbrook Campground remains an excellent retreat for those seeking an intimate connection with nature just 18 miles north of Azusa.
