Cabin Flat Trail Campground - CLOSED

Please note: This campground is currently closed.

Reaching this basic Forest Service campground requires navigating the winding Blue Ridge Trail Road from Inspiration Point off Highway 2, a route that closes during winter months as it passes through Mountain High Ski Resort. The bumpy dirt access road makes this site unsuitable for RVs, despite the 16-foot length limit listed in official records. Tent camping works better given the challenging approach conditions.

Located near a creek within the forest, the campground provides vault toilets and allows both pets and alcohol. The $5 nightly fee reflects the minimal amenities and remote setting. For additional options in the area, campers can explore campgrounds around Angeles National Forest.

Difficult to reach, very primitive

We stayed at Cabin Flat several years ago, and it's one of the most difficult campgrounds to reach near Wrightwood in the Angeles National Forest. To get here, you need to take the Blue Ridge Trail Road from Inspiration Point off of Highway 2. This road is closed during the winter, as it traverses through Mountain High Ski Resort. That said, the campground itself is very basic. I would not recommend bringing an RV here as the dirt road to get down is winding and bumpy. Tent camping only.
