Located in northern Los Angeles County, just 45 miles north of downtown L.A., and 40 miles south of the Grapevine, off the 5 Freeway in the City of Castaic. Exit either Lake Hughes Road, or Parker Rd., and go east. To visit the main Launch Ramp, follow Lake Hughes Road 2 miles up the hill to the entrance - on the left.

I recently visited Castaic Lake for a camping trip and was thoroughly impressed with the facilities and scenery. The campsites were well-maintained and had all the necessary amenities. The lake was absolutely beautiful and offered various recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking.
The staff at the park were friendly and helpful, making the overall experience even better. I highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The only downside was the occasional noise from nearby highways, but it was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall beauty of the place.
Great place for a quick weekend getaway! Booking a spot online was super easy. It's fairly clean. Has restrooms, showers, and a sink, so it's great for kids and easy glamping! There is also a good-sized ring for a fire pit - bring plenty of wood!
There is 24hr fishing with a beautiful view. Def recommend and can't wait to go again!
My partner and I had an excellent time exploring here. The lake is beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed a nice and easy, 1 mile hike along the lake. We then had a picnic and continued exploring the beautiful mountains that surrounded us. We absolutely LOVE it here and will be spending many weekends here. So gorgeous. Photos don't do it justice! We also got a kick outta the payphone, because we had no idea those things were still around. 💝
Nothing beats having your morning coffee at the lower lagoon pier all by yourself. Watching the sun rising 🌞 and watching the wildlife wake up. One of the best overall lakes in Southern California. You can catch bass, catfish, stripper bass and bluegill fish. And if you don't happen to catch any fish. You still had one of your best cup of coffee ever with the best view
