Los Angeles: Camping

Although famous for being called a 'Concrete Jungle', if you're willing to travel just a bit outside the city limits, there are several beautiful campsites in the Los Angeles area. Some are quite worthy of the avid camper on their camping holiday. Try these popular campsite spots: Buckhorn and West Fork in Angeles National Forest, Figueroa and Mono in Los Padres National Forest, and Jalama and Jalama Beach Park. Check campsite guidelines online for park entry fees, camping rules, and helpful travel planning trips. Most parks allow pets but it’s best to check to be sure yours does as well.
