Southfork Campground

Tucked amid the rugged canyons of the Mojave Desert, Southfork Campground offers a unique retreat for those seeking solitude and natural splendor. At an elevation of 4,500 feet, this primitive campground provides an intimate connection with the raw beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains, featuring 21 campsites equipped with fire rings, grills, and picnic tables. However, the lack of water and limited amenities calls for self-sufficiency, making it perfect for adventurers seeking a more authentic camping experience.

This year-round destination is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with nearby trails leading to stunning locales such as Islip Saddle, seasonal waterfalls, and Devil’s Punchbowl—a fascinating geological site. Activities include hiking, horseback riding, stargazing, and even seasonal snow play. The campground’s location, just 30 minutes from Pearblossom in Angeles National Forest, places you within reach of Big Rock Creek and the expansive vistas of Vincent's Gap, offering a serene escape with unmatched natural highlights.
