Caspers Wilderness Park is an 8,000 acre protected wilderness preserve nestled among the river terraces and sandstone canyons of the western coastal Santa Ana Mountains. The park's many fertile valleys are overtly complemented by specimen groves of native Coastal Live Oak and magnificent stands of California Sycamore. These areas are further accentuated by seasonal wildflower displays and running streams. Wildlife is abundant and can be readily viewed from any of the park's numerous trails.
Due to insufficient well water supply, the domestic water lines throughout all campgrounds and restroom/shower facilities will be shut off for the foreseeable future. Please bring potable water. Portable restrooms and handwash stations will be available throughout the park. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Dogs not permitted.
It is beautiful place. Sadly, no one around to enforce the night time noise. Twice now people up making noise past 11 pm. Not a place to get away from city noise, they just bring it with them.
A very nice park with a lot of wildlife (squirrels, birds, rabbits). Had a wonderful 2 night stay, but for some reason the water is off. A great value spot in OC that’s right down the road from San Juan Capistrano and Mission Viejo. 25-30 min from the coast, but the temps were very pleasant.
Stayed in space 9 of the Ortega Flats Campground for two nights in May 2023. This was our first time staying here. Ortega Flats is the only camping area at Caspers with any utility hook-ups. The campground was clean, space 9 was large and had a lot of shade. Water was not turned on and there is no septic hook-up at all so all we had was an electric hook-up. They do have a dump station by the front gate. Ortega Flats Campground is right next to Ortega Highway and there was some road noise during the day but it was quiet at night. Caspers Wilderness Park is huge - we drove to explore the other areas. There are other camping areas further from the road that don't have any utility hook-ups. The area is very pretty. We had a good time - I'd stay here again.
