Mountain Oak

I stayed at camp #5 on Sept 16-18 and it was near restrooms. Looking at the map, I thought it would be a longer walk, but it wasn’t. The camp is small and everyone is pretty close to you. However, everyone was respectful, friendly and kept to themselves during my stay. The host was nice and answered all my questions. I like the lake being directly across from the camp. I also liked there was a market in Wrightwood about 15mins drive. On our last day we had brunch at Wrightwood and it was a lovely little town.

It was super windy at night the days we were there and we weren’t ready for it. Luckily we took a heater, but we didn’t take sweater or extra blankets. Only packed a sweater for my son and boy did us adults needed one too. During the day, the weather was great. Because of high winds we couldn’t have a camp fire. We did use our burner for hot dogs and my tea pot. Camp 5 is close to the host and bathroom so that was convenient. I also liked that it was away from the road so I couldn’t hear anything. The wind at times sounded like waves, which I loved. The bear box is super convenient to store things away and the flushing toilets were always clean and fully stocked during my stay.

The water at camp is not safe to drink so don’t drink it or cook with it. I cooked hot dogs with it before knowing this information. None of us got sick, but the host said it’s only good to shower with and try not to get any in your mouth. Host also told me people get in the lake but shower right after. The lake is more like a swamp, but my son and I got in it up to our knees. It was too cold. Parts of the lake looks cleaner than others so we went in the clean section. There are plenty of hiking trails around the lake and the visitor center is a 10min drive away with more info on hiking trails. The host gave my son a sticker and trail map/info. Overall, my little family loved our stay and will come back again next year.

Running water A+

Very nice "no frills" campground. It does have flush toilets that were well maintained. I was in space 9 which is pretty small but close to restroom, away from road and well shaded. I brought my dog to hike and there are nice trails across the street. I will definitely come back!

Camp host dave was great. Only issue with this site is its a little close to some kids summer camps and they get a little loud. Other than that this is a beautiful site

Nice place, across the road is nice small lake and good hike trail Boy scout trail with around 7 mi loop

Mountain Oak was an amazing place to stay. The location was easy to get too and the entire trip was definitely motorcycle friendly. Right next to the campground was a lake, a couple miles down a little town, and the campground was spacious enough for everyone. The camp host was friendly, offered firewood and even handed maps of trails near by. If your split on whether to come here, definitely come.

very clean and host was very welcoming!!!!!
he is the best!!! we will be back for sure!

Nice clean FLUSH TOILETS. The campground was lovely, quiet and well maintained. The camp host David was delightful!

The host was very nice, chill, just a cool guy.
