Buckhorn Campground is one of those best-kept secrets people only share with close friends. Just a quick jaunt up the super scenic Angeles Crest Highway, its high elevation (about 6,300 feet), guarantees you’ll escape the summer heat.

This whimsical campground provides shelter for the weariest of Los Angeles travelers with its lush campsites, sheltered among the pines and fragrant cedars. Want to break in those new hiking boots? Buckhorn is your connection point to the vast network of trails that weave their way through the Angeles National Forest.

There’s even word of swimming holes and a waterfall for the determined hiker.

You will be nestled in a 13 acres with other cottages dotted throughout the property, along with private creeks + trails up the mountain. Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. No photoshoots, parties or cats allowed. Please read the full description, disclaimer, and reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for. **************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your group will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional. Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - wifi - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone. ********************************************************************* FILM AND PHOTOS SHOOTS: This is an amazing property for photography, and film, with 13 acres of rustic cottages, oak forests and sculpted streams. But please note we have special, and quite reasonable rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details. Commercial filming is not permitted without permission. Charming Cabin Ideal for Hikers and Nature Lovers in Topanga, California

Run by three generations, our ranch has been in our family for more than 70 years. We opened our doors to the public in 2014 to help support feeding our animals, bred and rescued, after the Powerhouse Fire almost burned us out. We’ve survived a county quarantine(2018-2019), the COVID Lockdowns (2021-2022), the Lake Fire (2020), and the Hurricane Kay burn scar debris flow and flood (9/11/22), depending on hard work and strong family and community bonds. In addition to camping and educational tours, we host private and community events, grow and sell produce and eggs, hatch and sell chicks, rescue ratites, and support the local bee population (which gives us RAW honey to sell), and are working to open a private U-pick-by-appointment orchard. We are all animal lovers, and conservationists, and try to do our part to ensure our children inherit a healthy and viable world. This is our home where we live, work, love, and play. We enjoy sharing our space with visitors who we hope learn about ostrich and make some great memories.

Learn more about this land:A vast expanse of oak trees, California Junipers and rugged, mountainous land running with jackrabbits, quail, and owls that is just 3 miles from Vazquez Rocks and the PCT, our ranch transports you. From the tent campsite, you look out for 20 miles and see nothing but nature across small mountains and canyons all the way to the peaks of Angeles National Forest in the distance. The campsite is a large flat area. For a trailer or RV it's a great place to park and the view is towards wide open spaces. With a tent or if you want more pure nature, you can drive out onto the property further towards the small ruin of the old homesteader's cabin or beyond. The property has a long-abandoned gold mine and circular arrastres where miners used mules to break up rocks. Nearby Acton has pick-your-own apples/pears/peaches at Bloom farms. We are at 3000 feet with strong sun during the day and cool mountains air at night. The camping is set away from structures, but if you want to stroll, closer to the ranch buildings, we have friendly small goats you can visit if interested and horses and a donkey to say hello to across the corral fence.

It was just ok. The hike was better than the camping area which was not bad necessarily. The camp sites felt a bit too close together and I sure didn't get a sense of seclusion. If you're a beginner to intermediate camper then this camp site is perfect. If you feel like you're the type of person that seeks something more off the beaten path then I'd suggest upper Sequoia or parts of Yosemite instead. The price for the sites and the fact that it's first come-first serve are the biggest plus, especially if you're camping on a weekday.

Had a nice trip at Buckhorn Campground. However, we did have trouble with some very loud neighbors who came in late at night, and were increasingly loud the next day. We relocated after the first night and had a peaceful rest of our stay. It's lovely, simple campground.

We stayed here last weekend (9/22-24/17) beautiful trees surround the campground. we got there around 1045 am on Friday and we basically had pick of the whole campground probably only 7 sites were already taken. We chose site 9 and we absolutely loved it. We were camping with friends so we had 4 adults, two tents, two cars and two dogs. Site 9 was very spacious and the layout was perfect. Close enough to the bathroom but also not too close to smell it or hear the lid slam. Just a heads up the campground started getting full around 230/3pm. One complaint, there is a motorcycle club about 10min down the very windy road site 9 you hear every single motorcycle that zoomed by.

Just stayed here for the weekend at site 30 (a huge site!) with good friends. This was an awesome campground! Large bear boxes, nice variety of unique campsites. Easy access to the trail from the campground - we ended up hiking a total of 6.5 miles. Beautiful views and scenery. Bring TP and be ready for the vault toilets.

Stayed there last night (8/8) and had an amazing time. The camp was 2/3 full by evening time on a Tuesday, so there were still a number of sites to choose from. Half the sites have great shade from the sun as there are plenty of trees everywhere. Its a very rustic campground and you really feel like you’re living in the forest here. There are vaulted toilets, one for every 3 or 4 sites, and there were a few running water taps. Campfires are allowed in the fire pits but bring your own firewood. There wasn’t any cell phone reception, so you will be off the grid. Also the drive up the 2 freeway to the campsite is very scenic. The campground is fairly quiet, and everyone seemed nice. Finally, the Pleasant View Ridge hiking trail is wicked!

This campground has easily worked its way up to #1 on my list of local campgrounds. Buckhorn is to say the least, AMAZING. To start off the road is paved which most of the time is a big concern for most people as not everyone has a 4x4 vehicle. The campsites are easily accessible and wide enough for 2 cars, possibly 3. The actual site we picked was perfect. Every site we passed way was amazing it felt as if you were away far up in northern California. So many trees and mountain tops as far as your eyes can see. Giant trees are surrounding your tent and camp setups. Perfect for hanging hammocks Bathrooms were clean and each site is equipped with a bear box and ours had a water spot as well. Overall it was a an amazing experience.

Just went for Mothers day Weekend! So Beautiful absolutely loved it... very cold at night right now. High elevation bring warm clothes for night at any time of the year it gets cold. The sites fill up so if you are planning come up on Thursday to get a spot. 7 & 8 would be great for large groups how they are set up. We got lucky because we had a handicap with us so we got to use site 3. Site 1 & 2 would be great for summer because they have the most shade. No matter what you will have a great time! Enjoy!

Buckhorn is local to Los Angeles, CA. For being local, its amazing just how wild and secluded it feels to the city. Its a reminder of how beautiful our backyard can be. There are waterfalls, pools of water clean enough for swimming. There are some pretty crazy hiking trails. Campgrounds are nice. If staying local, Buckhorn is a great choice!

What a great place! Arrived right about 11am on a Saturday and it was a bit of a struggle to find a spot (obviously). However, we got lucky and found a nice tucked away spot. Only issue was a creamy amount of bugs. Bring a good spray because our cheap one didn't work. Nevertheless, it was all worth it.

@Jason was right, really great place. After exploring the PNW recently as well as the Redwoods... we were so surprised by this place. My wife and I were actually just trying to find places west of Wrightwood that were interesting. We were tired but wanted to get outdoors today (from the high desert area) and drove past Inspiration Point hoping to find some cool places to explore at a later date. pulling into this place seemed like we were up north. It was starting to get crowded by the time we got there, but it's a Friday as is expected. Restrooms in the LA part of these mountains are horrible... at all the sites would recommend a weekday trip if possible
