What campers say

Mount Pinos Campground is a small, high‑elevation, forested site with excellent summit views and nearby hiking options, including routes to neighboring peaks. It’s popular for backpacking, day hikes and winter snow play, and stays cooler than lower elevations. Site quality varies: some campsites are flat and roomy while others have awkward picnic table or fire‑ring placement and may require hauling gear up or down short slopes. Expect chilly or windy conditions in spring (which can keep bugs down). Access is seasonal for some areas, so confirm open dates and gate status before heading up.

📖 About This Campground

Mount Pinos or in the Native American Chumash language, "Iwihinmu," was considered to be the center of the world, the point where everything was in balance. At 7,800 feet, the campground, bursting with views of mountains and valleys, is an ideal base for several biking and hiking trails. The dark and clear night skies make this a picture-perfect stargazing setting. This seasonal campground is open daily, May through November. There are 19 single campsites that include picnic tables and fire rings. Fires are allowed only in designated fire rings. RVs over 22 ft. and trailers are not recommended. There are two vault toilets. You should plan to be completely self-sustainable for the duration of your trip. There is no potable water (drinking water) or electricity onsite. There is also no dump station.
