Campgrounds and Camping
San Bernardino National Forest is home to a variety of campgrounds and camping locations—each with its own unique character and services. The Forest Service describes camping as either "developed" (usually accessible by road and including minimal facilities like picnic tables, restrooms and fire-rings), and "remote" (areas usually accessible only by trails, and may or may not have minimal facilities). During winter months some locations may be inaccessible due to snow or closed, check with the local Ranger Station for updated conditions.

Campground Fees are current as of May 2007. Check with http://recreation.gov or (877) 444-6777 for reservations and current prices. Group CampgroundsThese sites can accommodate groups of 8 to 100 people. The number of people and vehicles is limited depending upon the site (see table).All fees quoted are per site, per night and are subject to change.
Remote Area CampingRemote camping is camping outside of a
developed sit. Undeveloped camping provides more solitude and
an opportunity to "rough it." Camping is allowed in Remote
Areas (Dispersed) and at Yellow Post Sites Yellow Post Sites are campsites located off main travel routes. Though many Yellow Post Sites are located within highly used recreation areas, they still offer a sense of peace and solitude. Yellow Post Sites were specifically created to provide a place where human impacts could be properly managed, thereby reducing those impacts in the surrounding areas.
Undeveloped or Dispersed Area CampingUndeveloped or Dispersed areas are designated
areas away from highways and development where camping along back
roads or trails is permitted. Because of year-around fire
danger, wood or charcoal fires are not allowed (includes charcoal in
a BBQ). Chemical or propane stoves may be used if you have a
free California Campfire Permit, which may be obtained at the local
Ranger Station.
"Know before you go" and check at the nearest
Ranger Station for a map of
the Remote Camping Areas and the current fire restrictions.
Wilderness CampsitesThe number of visitors admitted to the Wilderness is limited. On summer weekends some Wilderness areas may fill to capacity well in advance. Wilderness campsites are accessible by foot and/or horseback only, and require a free Wilderness permit, which may be reserved up to three months in advance from the local ranger station. Permits are issued through the mail or in person. Use of certain trailheads that access the more popular and highly used areas require an Adventure Pass or America the Beautiful Interagency Pass, which must be displayed on the parked vehicle. When camping in the Wilderness, lightweight stoves are recommended. Campfires are not allowed in Wilderness areas on the San Bernardino National Forest. Due to the unsupervised nature of remote camping and the importance of maintaining wilderness character and values, certain other activities may also be restricted. Remote camping itself may be restricted certain times of the year. Please call the Forest Supervisor’s Office at (909) 382-2600 for the current Fire Danger Level and current Forest Guidelines. |
