Located three miles north of the Lytle Creek Ranger Station, the campground provides an easy get-away. Trees surround the campsites and Lytle Creek flows across the street at Applewhite Picnic Area. Please use caution crossing the road. This site is accessible.
In Fontana, CA, at intersection of I-15 and Sierra Ave., take Sierra Ave. north 7.6 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
The campgrounds are well maintained- and the rangers are so considerate and caring. They checked in on us throughout our stay etc.
There is the creek nearby - driving there is better. Tee had intended on fishing but the nearby fishing place is for members only.
There was no cell service - but it was nice to disconnect. The restrooms could be cleaner but they were flushable.
It was an hour drive from LA.
First time camping here. We had so much fun! Hot weekend, water was ice cold. You can walk up to the creek (upon exiting the campgrounds, make a right, short walk up and picnic area / creek is on your left). Lots of pincher bugs, mosquitoes, etc. on the camp site (I only mention this in case you're a picky camper). We booked spot #28, no shade at all, so I suggest bringing a canopy. However, the camp site to our left and in front has plenty of trees and a water spout (that we used). The camp host appear to be a couple, and their dog - super kind and welcoming! There are no showers on site, so we brought our own pop-up shower. Bathrooms are close and convenient, didn't mind foot traffic from other campers. Dog friendly. No cell phone reception. Can't wait to return!
Last time I was here was about 5 years ago, recently renovated, a few trees were cut down and some campsites are permanently closed. The creek is a short walk away but I recommend driving there for safety reasons. we stayed at campsite 10 we booked online. Pretty good shade under the huge pine tree. Highly recommend. No campfires allowed on windy days.
Did tent camping with a group of friends. Each spot for 8 people and 2 cars parking. Restrooms were clean but no showers. There’s a close picnic area that you can enjoy watering with kids. There was no fire alert which we did not know and didn’t noticed that it’s been announced on reservation app that is recreation app. There’s only one hiking trail close where cars also drive. Overall cool place for family camping.
