These five remote camping sites offer locations for tent and car camping. There are some mature shade trees near the sites, but other than a metal fire ring for campfires, these sites do NOT contain the amenities found at developed campgrounds. There is no water, no picnic tables, no restrooms nearby, and no trash containers. Please pack it in - pack it out! All sites are first-come, first-served.
Campfire permits are required for any type of fire use - campfires, charcoal BBQ's, or stoves. Campfires may not be allowed certain times of the year. Contact the Mill Creek Ranger Station for current fire restriction information and road conditions. (909) 382-2882 (closed Tues/Wed)

This pin is not accurate. There are no yellow posts at this location.
Found a great, quiet secluded spot to camp away from the campground noise of Lake Hemet, etc.. First night was great. Second day the partiers showed up, and all hell broke loose. Even though it's secluded, dispersed camping you can't escape the idiots.
I really this trail for it being clean, and secluded, great views going up "little thomas trail"......different campgrounds to choose from once you are up there.
You don't really need 4x4 to get up there,I made it up with a 99 front wheel drive expedition.The views are beautiful since you can see 360 degrees at some points,there's only about 4 camp sites but if full people don't mind if u make your own...you can ride this trail from hemet to little Tomas mtn too.....people please keep it clean. I posted a photo of the hemet lake side during our winter in 2023 Feb.
