Choose from the following to find a site:
The San Bernardino National Forest is a nearby oasis for millions of Southern Californians who want to escape for the weekend and go camping. The higher elevations of the forest mean that the summertime temperatures are cooler than the valleys below. And as an added bonus most campgrounds have shaded sites and some are near streams or lakes. Many campgrounds are adjacent to beautiful natural areas and you can find solitude on quiet wilderness trails.
Some campgrounds are reserved campsites, and on weekends or holidays we definitely recommend making a reservation. To do this, visitors can go online to www.recreation.gov or call toll-free 1-877-444-6777. Most campgrounds can accommodate both tent campers and RV's. All campgrounds have picnic tables and restroom facilities, and some even have showers and other amenities. Most campsites accommodate up to 6 people and 2 tents. There may be an additional cost for more than one vehicle.
The Forest Service describes camping as either "developed" (usually accessible by road and including minimal facilities like picnic tables, restrooms and fire-rings), and "remote" (areas usually accessible only by trails, and may or may not have minimal facilities). During winter months some locations may be inaccessible due to snow or closed, check with the local Ranger Station for updated conditions.
The San Bernardino National Forest does not manage any cabin rentals, but there is a fire lookout that is available for rent. It is the Morton Peak Fire Lookout. Click here for more information.
