About this campground
Tucked away along the adventurous Rincon-Shortcut OHV Route, Spring Camp Campground offers a true backcountry experience for off-road enthusiasts and intrepid hikers. Currently rebuilding after the Bobcat Fire, this intimate hideaway will return with three secluded campsites where the rumble of engines gives way to wilderness solitude. Each site comes equipped with its own picnic table and fire ring, perfect for sharing trail stories under the stars. A vault toilet provides basic facilities, while the absence of running water ensures an authentic camping experience. When nature provides, a seasonal stream flows through camp, offering water that can be treated for use—though savvy campers always pack extra, as this mountain stream can run whisper-thin or completely dry depending on the season.
Spring Camp Campground offers a primitive camping experience. The three campsites are hike-in and emphasize minimalism and self-sufficiency.
Historical SignificanceThis remote corner of the Angeles National Forest holds stories yet to be discovered, where modern adventurers follow paths carved by generations of outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude in Southern California's rugged backcountry.
Weather and SeasonsSpring Camp's mountain climate delivers a full spectrum of seasonal moods. Summer brings warm days perfect for OHV adventures, while autumn paints the surrounding peaks in golden light. Winter transforms this high-country retreat into a crisp wonderland where temperatures plunge and occasional snow dustings remind visitors they're truly in the mountains. Spring arrives with wildflower potential and the promise of flowing water in the seasonal creek. Smart campers layer up year-round—mountain weather has a mind of its own at this elevation.
ElevationPerched at 4,700 feet where the air grows thin and the views expand, Spring Camp sits in that sweet spot of mountain elevation—high enough to escape the valley heat, yet accessible to properly equipped vehicles and determined hikers. At this altitude, stars shine brighter, mornings arrive crisp and clear, and every breath reminds you that you've climbed into California's sky islands.
Natural Features and SceneryRising from the rugged folds of Angeles National Forest, Spring Camp occupies a dramatic landscape where ancient mountains meet seasonal waters. The campground's namesake stream, when flowing, creates a ribbon of life through otherwise austere terrain, supporting pockets of riparian vegetation that contrast beautifully with the surrounding chaparral and pine. Rocky outcroppings and steep canyon walls frame distant views, while the immediate surroundings offer an intimate connection with California's wild backbone—a place where wilderness still reigns supreme just beyond the reach of city lights.
Geological RegionSpring Camp rests within the dynamic geological tapestry of Angeles National Forest, where tectonic forces have sculpted a landscape of dramatic ridgelines and deep canyons over millions of years. At 4,700 feet, the campground occupies a fascinating transition zone where lower elevation chaparral gives way to montane forests. The seasonal stream that winds through camp has carved its own story into the mountainside, exposing layers of ancient rock and creating microhabitats in an otherwise severe landscape. This is quintessential Southern California high country—where desert meets mountain, and geological time is written in every weathered boulder and erosion-carved ravine.
