There are 19 Coon Creek Yellow Post Campsites available on a first-come-first-serve basis. No reservations. Maximum of 8 persons per campsite. Amenities includes picnic table and fire ring. There are no restroom facilities or drinking water.
Great place to stay no charge. Several good campsites some unleveled but can be fix with rocks, no fire due to high fire restrictions at big bear. Beautiful scenery
Pretty dope sites. Your neighbors aren't too close and the surrounding area is beautiful. Only down fall is that there isn't much to see nearby. You'd have to hike 1-3 miles to see anything such as the Santa Ana River and Fish Creek. There is a little cool water spout that turns into a small stream near spot 14 where we stayed that we easily hiked to to get washing water.
Probably one of the best camping experiences I've ever had! The Yellow Post Sites are spaced out fairly from each other, very remote, have beautiful views, and are relatively clean. There was a little bit of trash left from one of the spaces we stayed at, but I cleaned it up :)
It's so nice to be able to camp at no charge, especially in an area surrounded by trees and nature. It's a fairly long drive to the closest road- in my civic, at least, so it was a great retreat.
No fires- well, the entire forest is currently on fire so a campfire is not necessary, but we didn't have a problem with that while camping here. We improvised and still made food!
Tons of stars visible, and a lot of the areas have a great opening in the tree line to view the stars at night. If you're an astrophotograher, you will be very happy to find these yellow post sites!
Not a lot of availability on weekends and fridays...but that's expected. Make sure to get here early, and keep valuables locked in your car!
We had an awesome experience overall, and I'm sure your family will too.
Dirt road rough. But beautiful place. Lots of spots. When you pick a spot I recommend sitting for a minute cause lots of bees in same spots.
