Santa Rosa Mountain has 14 remote camping sites scattered across the high ridges offering isolated scenic campsites ideal for tent and car camping or a relaxing picnic far from the crowds. A fire ring and a picnic table is available at each site, however these sites do NOT contain many amenities found at developed campgrounds. Water is available only at Santa Rosa Spring Yellow Post Site 3 & 4, the only restroom is located near Yellow Post Sites 10 - 14.  Trash services are not provided, 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 propane or liquid fuel stoves. Campfires may not be allowed during high fire danger, generally July through December. Please see "Current Conditions" below.
