Table Mountain Campground in Angeles

Table Mountain is a great escape from the city! It’s so close, yet you feel like you are in a whole new world!
The campground is absolutely gorgeous! It’s really clean and well maintained. All the Rangers were very nice and stopped to check in during our trip.
There are no showers and only vault toilets. Make sure to bring water and hand sanitizer!
I also suggest bringing campfire wood in with you, but you can buy bundles at the ranger station if you don’t.
It got a little windy at night, but we had some nice tree coverage. We didn’t have any run ins with critters, but did get the friendly reminder that we should keep an eye open!
Wrightwood is a quick drive from the campsite. We drove down for lunch and to walk around a bit before hiking in the area. Super cute, little, town!

Loved this campground! Highly recommend! Bob was the best! Camp sites were well maintained and very clean. Chemical toilet restrooms were stocked and clean. The site we had was huge, plenty of room for 3 tents. Reasonably priced. Beautiful and peaceful, will definitely be back.

A Weekend to Remember!
Table Mountain is a beautiful place to get away for the weekend. It has spectacular views. The air is pure. And the sky is sprinkled with stars. It’s peaceful and a stunning place!
Important Info:
RVers — Your RV must be
self-​contained.
Campers — No showers

I’m so glad I went to Table Mountain instead of Barton Flats. Barton Flats was not allowing campfires so I decided to switch over last minute because I refuse to camp without a fire (need my warmth and s’mores!).
What I love about Table Mountain is that it is a local campground meaning you won’t get tourists, too many newbies, or too much heavy traffic. This allows for the ultimate camping experience which means: peace and quiet. I can hear the wind blow, birds and insects chirping, as well as aircraft in the sky. Majority of campers here enjoy this peace and quiet and respect it, while there was just one camp group who was having a blast and can hear them laughing loudly and raising their voices in excitement. However, at the 10:00 pm quiet time, they respectfully winded down.
Our campsite was #42. It is a pretty private campsite since we’re sitting on a little hill, but all of their campsites are far away from one another allowing quiet and privacy. We were near 3 outhouses and were not affected by the smell at all. It was convenient being by three outhouses so we can pick and choose which one we wanted to use between the four of us. We were also near a water spigot which made it very convenient to clean our dishes and have sink baths because there are no showers here. We did not have a bear box at our site, but did not have any problems leaving our coolers out at night and bags hung on tree branches. We were surrounded by many trees offering sufficient shade, but there was also enough open space so we can look up to see the bright stars!
Our camp host was really friendly and came to check on us at night. He gave us some very helpful tips, which I will share:
— make sure to give a light kick to firewood piles or anything left outside before picking them up with your hands because scorpions and critters like to hide in things
— make sure to open the door slowly to outhouses and check for critters taking shelter in there because they enjoy the warmth given off by the ceramic vault toilets that bake in the heat during the day. We did not have that experience for most patrons respect the closing of the toilet lid and door after they leave
— speaking of critters, report rattlesnakes to camp hosts. They will remove them from the campgrounds.
— despite what many other Unilocalers say about not having hiking trails, our host mentioned three. We went on the perimeter hike in the campgrounds. It is a three mile nature walk that loops you around the campground.
— he sells firewood for $ 6 both in his truck when he comes around or at the host site (big RV when you enter the campground)
— fires cannot exceed 2 ½ feet, basically don’t exceed the grate too much. And fires/​embers have to be put out by water
Here are some helpful tips by me:
— bring a bucket or two. It is helpful to have a bucket of water near your campsite to wash dishes and put out fires. Campers are not allowed to leave the spigot running to clean anything. We are in a serious drought!
— bring hand sanitizer. There are no sinks in the bathrooms.
— bring Wet Ones and baby wipes. There are no showers.
— drive carefully and slowly. Roads are narrow and uneven.
We are definitely planning to come back to Table Mountain. It may be our go-​to camp site since it’s only a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles!

This is mostly based on ranger Bob, who gave us great information while camping!
We did have a camping newbie in our group, and Bob told her about the good, bad and ugly of what to expect. He was personable and professional!
A few hours after arriving (site 59), we were evacuated for a fire. Just hoping that everyone up there is ok!
As for the campground itself, it was beautiful, and slightly windy. I do plan coming back though, and look forward to spending a full weekend there!

I found this place on Unilocal and WOW what an amazing campground. The campground manager bob was very friendly and checked up on everybody at least once a day. He came around selling a bundle of firewood for $ 6. There are bathrooms and water faucets located everywhere. I saw Bob everyday at 10am to come clean the bathroom near me and the bathroom was very clean!
My camp site had a lot of space and was very clean!
There is a small trail around the campground thats about 3 miles but its really a beginners trail. I would head out to the big horn mines which is about 4 miles or go on the PCT which is endless.
There are many walk up spots but I highly recommend site 54 (it had the BEST views of the sunset)

Campground was very nice with ample space between other spaces. We stayed in the Mohave loop with a 26′ trailer.
Cons:
The road is very narrow and it was difficult to maneuver a trailer around in the loop.
The road is very uneven and we bottomed out a few times on the trailer upon exiting but got lucky and had no damage underneath.
Lots of flying bugs! And lots that bite.
Pros:
Ample room between spaces.
Very pretty setting.
Very quiet.
Nice view of the stars at night.
On our stay we walked the campsite and found a dirt road and walked several miles of it. We found some very old trees and lots of interesting things to see. Other than exploring not much to do besides just relax at the campsite. The flying bugs made it unpleasant during the day but at night it was very relaxing.
We won’t return– only due to the road issues. Our space was a double site and was very hard to get into. A couple across the way said they were very impressed that we were able to get in. This camp ground is more suited to tents. There were a few larger motorhomes but upon talking to them they had the same issues as we did– skinny roads that required going off the road or over curbs to traverse.

This is really hard for me to not give 5 stars.
Table Top was one of the best campgrounds that I’ve ever been. They do not have fishing toilets, but the vaulted toilets are frequent, and well maintained. The views are incredible! We stayed in site 7, which is on the ridge of the site overlooking the ski slopes. The little amphitheater looked great and has a fantastic view of the high desert, which makes for great sunsets. They often show a movie in the summer, but we missed it.
Now, the reason for 4 stars: The wind. We arrived at 6pm, which was plenty of daylight to set up, but the wind made it difficult. Being on the ridge, there was not protection from the wind. It was incredibly difficult to set up the tent and canopy over the table. I know a canopy isn’t a necessity, but with the amount of flying bugs when the wind dies, I was glad we had it.
The wind dies down during the night, so we had a great sleep. The next day was beautiful, we explored a little, and enjoyed the views. The wind started back up at around 4pm, and they did not stop… not once. We were woken up several times by the wind whipping our tent around. Make sure to invest in the heavier tent stakes. We used the light ones that come with most tents. The wind pulled them out like nothing.
We went out hiking the next day, and when we came back, the wind had pretty much destroyed our site. The canopy was flipped over and pulled apart. It didn’t blow away because one of the anchor ropes was wrapped up in a folding chair. Our lantern was blown off the table and shattered. We tried to give it time for the wind to die down, but the wind hadn’t stopped gusting in over 24 hours, so we packed up and left a day early.
The wind is like any weather, and can be hard to predict. Just be ready for it. If you pick a site with a great unobstructed view, then you might get a face full of unobstructed wind. It is a beautiful campground, so anywhere you go will have plenty of trees, and a nice view is a short walk away.
I did love Table Top Campgrounds, and would go there again. Just be prepared for the possibility of strong winds.

This is a wonderful campground. But it’s very basic. We stayed and had a huge spot and a lot of space between us and the nearest camper. Only vault toilets but they didn’t smell in the least bit until the last day we were there (Sunday). By then though, they smelled pretty ripe. Also, no sinks. But there are spigot around and it’s just gorgeous. We are adding this campground to our regular rotation. Oh and the camp host was really great. So friendly.

Loved the experience staying there. We had spot #59 in early September, which was right next to three other spots and a short walk to the vault toilets.
Upon arrival, we were super excited. A quick survey of our immediate area found a picnic table, grill, campfire pit, and bear box. We knew we would be roughing it, so we didn’t expect any kind of luxury items, and the other Unilocal reviews were super helpful.
Here’s what you have to know:
— The toilets are vault toilets; Basically, though they look like regular public toilets, but there’s no sink and no flushing. There’s just a pit underneath, and lots of flies most of the day (some more than others). The trick is knowing when to go, and early evening is a great time if you can control yourself.
— Definitely bring stuff that repels all kinds of bugs. The funniest part of our trip was the sudden panic when a bee flew into our immediate area.
— Quiet time begins at 10pm, and most people honor that.
— Sound carries very easily, so be aware after hours
— There are no showers, so bring lots of hand wipes
— On some Saturday nights they show movies in the Amphitheatre
The owner came by various times to check in on us, which was great. We felt totally welcomed and taken care of!
The setting is absolutely spectacular and we will definitely return.

I stayed at this campground for the first time on August 9 and 10. There were several highlights at this campground. First, the sites are spacious and have a decent amount of privacy. Secondly, there are many sites available on a first come first served basis. This is helpful if you plan a trip last minute like I did. Also, the camp host was very welcoming and informative and answered all my questions. I really enjoyed the movie at the amphitheater. That night they played Back to the Future.
I stayed at site 37, which I found to be perfect for my small set up. It is good idea to drive through the campground to find the site that best suits your preference. There are many great ones to choose from. The second night I was there, Sunday, it seemed that the campground was almost empty. This is awesome if you’re looking for some peace and quiet.
The campground is close to the town of Wrightwood, which is convenient for picking up some food or supplies.
I was very impressed by this campground and highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice place to regroup and relax.

I recommend site 113, amazing views and you can see a beautiful sunset!
The hosts were all very friendly, accommodating and made you feel very welcome.
Pointers:
— no flushing toilets
— no sinks or showers
— not noisy
— movies shown at the amphitheater
— hiking trail, but it’s pretty steep!
If you like REAL camping, this is the place for you! ;)
Will definitely return!

This was our second time camping at this location. Last year we stayed in site #96 and it was awesome with lots of shade. This past weekend we went with a group and stayed in 79 – 81. #79 has zero trees and is wide open. #80 & #81 are super shaded with lots of trees. Close to the restrooms and the camp manager. Quiet time is from 10pm-​7am. Camp manager had to tell us to quiet down when we were having fun eating s’mores and enjoying telling scary stories around the fire. She killed our camping vibe! So, next time we’ll think twice before camping near the party pooper Lol. However, overall we had a great time! We will definitely be back.

Overall, a really lovely campground to spend a weekend. It still feels pretty close to the city (as evidenced by the lack of stars), but it is fantastic for a quick getaway.
It cost $ 20/​night and it was a first-​come, first-​served basis for picking spots. There are some really scenic spots, so I’d definitely recommend coming earlier and driving around for a look. There are plenty of bathrooms (no plumbing) and water spigots.
I was worried about the wind after talking to some other folks, but it was amazingly calm on the weekend I went.
The campground was quiet despite the number of campsites. They were even showing a movie at the amphitheater for people to check out around 8:00 pm, and I did not hear a thing from my campsite.
Wrightwood is super close if you need to grab some food or supplies, and there is also a tiny lake nearby (Jackson) if you want to check it out. Just make sure you get a Forest Adventure Pass if you want to go exploring in your car.
I took the scenic route up from HWY 2, and took the 210 back home. I preferred the scenic route, but the trip was A LOT faster on the 210.

I was blown away. Literally.
Here is a tip: Be sure that your campsite is nestled in the trees. When we showed up, our site was out in the open with few trees. It was a bit windy, but we were in hurry to set up camp and start relaxing.
Other reviewers had a great time here and I think that is for a few reasons.
1. There are bathrooms everywhere. You can stand in your campground, turn in a circle, and find 2 – 3 within eyesight.
2. The camp host is very nice and sells firewood.
3. Campers are friendly and pretty quiet despite the fact that this campground has more sites than I knew were possible to fit into one campground.
4. Most importantly: They had the right campsite.
Here are a few positives from our trip. Our new tent is wind-​tested. No matter how hard the wind blowed, and it blew so hard that it was knocking over our equipment, the tent flexed and did not fall. Our tent pegs worked like a charm, too. It wasn’t hot. The wind kept the heat at bay. I didn’t need to miss my blowdryer. My hair would have dried in no time.
We nearly packed up and left on the second night, in the middle of the night. We had stopped enjoying the trip by then. However, on our way out, we cruised the other sites in the other loops to see if this was just a matter of location.
Here are a few tips:
1. Stay away from Apache loop. It’s a wind tunnel.
2. Osage Way seems to be the best loop in the area.
3. Broken Blade sites look pretty good.
Somehow that old adage rings true here. Location, location, location. Another option? Bring a kite!

What a (not so hidden) gem next to Mountain High!
Only 1.5 hours away from OC… we took the 15 and turned off on the 138 and it’s about a 20 minute drive up the mountain from there! Everything was clearly marked and super easy to access! Roads were easy to navigate and the views were beautiful!
Our campsite #114 in Zuni Loop was at the very bottom of the campground… it was a beautiful spot — but no shade — only complaint! We had a great view of the valley below and WOW what a sunset!!! That was probably the best part of the trip! We arrived at night and the Host welcomed us… both female hosts we encountered this past weekend were very nice and helpful. They provided us with printed maps and information about activities and walks and things for families with kids to do– which I thought was very nice but we didn’t have any kiddos with us.
Plenty of parking for our motorhome, clean table and fire pit, and very close to the bathrooms — which were very clean and without sinks… typical for campgrounds. Honestly, I’ve been camping my whole life, there is nothing GLAMOROUS about it so stop whining — -bring baby wipes and you’ll feel refreshed lol. Also, plenty of trashcans/​dumps, and bathrooms around the campground… very convenient.
Plenty of walking and biking trails… dog friendly… and very quiet. I was impressed with how beautiful the grounds were and the proximity to the highways. We felt so far away. I will be coming back SOON and maybe even go tent camping. We walked by site #92 and it looked awesome! Zuni loop has great views of the valley and sunset and the spot #112 (I think) had an amazing lookout point. Great weekend getaway for OC and LA people.

My wife and I made a last minute reservation and headed up for 2 nights in the middle of the week. We stayed at site # 43 and were amazed at the views right across from us. The hiking trail around the whole campground is a great way to spend some hours checking out nature at 7,000 feet.
The campground was well kept, clean bathrooms, buckets to put out your campfire, even a «Bear Box.» Down around #43 there is not much traffic, plenty of trees and a great view of the sunset in the summer months.
The management is really friendly and does a GREAT job at keeping the atmosphere serene. We will be back again and again its now our favorite campground in southern California.

Destination for Disc Golfers looking to play one of the most amazing courses in California.
This campground is right next to the 27 hole Sky High disc golf course in Wrightwood. Though you could technically walk to the 1^st tee, it may take you 15 – 20 minutes depending on where your campsite is located. I suggest jumping in the car and parking up by the main ski/​disc golf parking lot area.
Most of the sites have GREAT vistas. There were non-​flush toilets and water spigots for cooking and hydration. This area is large and has many options for hammock campers.
Don’t half step. Don’t forget there is a $ 7/​day disc golf fee if you opt to come here for playing.

Love camping and love that my husband brought me here. He’s been coming here for about 4 years or so. He comes because he does disc golfing right next door. I came for the first time last October. We love site 116
There are a ton of sites $ 20 for single $ 40 for double. Up to 8 people per single site and 2 cars (extra car is $ 7). Lots of space between sites. Great hiking trails. Also go into town cute shops, great restaurants and also ziplining!!!

We stayed at site #40 over this past weekend (9÷29−9÷30) and had a great time. The views from this site are superb, beautiful tree covered mountains. I’ll be posting a picture for reference. Another user noted that since this site is on a ridge it can get pretty windy depending on the day. The site had a fire pit which was surrounded by large logs for sitting and a picnic table all nestled under tree cover for moments of shade depending on the suns position.
The ranger was near the entrance when we came in and was very friendly, she had firewood for sale ($ 5 a bundle) that we decided to purchase in case we couldn’t find enough scrap wood around the campsite. There were bathrooms throughout the camp grounds, the one closest to our site was just a short walk down the hill. It always had toilet paper which was nice. There were also water spigots, but we were only staying one night and brought our own water. No showers, but we were ok with roughing it though, it is camping after all.
There aren’t many things to do around the area, there is a small trail that loops around the campground. We didn’t go around the entire loop but another reviewer noted that it was about a mile long. There are paved roads that take you throughout the campground, so if one wanted to bring a mountain bike that might make for a nice ride.
All in all, a very nice and serene campground that made for a lovely and relaxing weekend.
