Lake Castaic Near Magic Mountain off the 5 freeway. Nice view of the lower lake. Dirt/asphault camping, no hookups, restrooms very far away, little shade, little grass. "Campers" (read: Partyers) rolling in at 2, 3, and 4am. Loud radios, ineffective park patrol allowed carousing and foul language until very early the next morning. 3 hours sleep, dusty, windy.	Photos coming soon
Lake Cachuma + Near Santa Barbara, well off the "beaten path". Large lake with lots to do; boating, fishing, walking, biking. Nice clean restrooms, well maintained campground. Great playground for the kids. Very picturesque with tall pines, paved drives, large sites. Highly recommended!

Chilao High in the Angeles National Forest, this camp is more for the person who like to "get away from it all". Easy access to water and restrooms. The Visitor Center has good information and great exhibits for the kids. Partial closure in the winter, so check availability before you go. Very enjoyable!	Photos coming soon
Horse Flats One of the less populated camps, Horse Flats is very similar to Chilao. Located on Highway 2 above La Crescenta. Pine trees provide good shade, and there are hiking trails to take advantage of while enjoying the scenery. Very natural with little landscaping and maintenance, there is more of a feel like you're in the wilderness than most of the other campgrounds in lower elevations. Due to the altitude, it can get cold at night regardless of season, so bring those woolies!	Photos coming soon
Buckhorn Located far up Angeles Crest, Buckhorn camp is another wilderness type camping area. squirrels, deer, and an occasional Buckhorn sheep can be seen on the mountainside.	Photos coming soon
Soledad Located in Acton, Ca. off the 14 freeway just 40 minutes from the San Fernando Valley, Soledad is a Thousand Trails membership campground. There is a lot to do in the "preserve" (as it is called in the brochure) with fishing, adult and family lodges, two pools, spa, movie theater(!), great camp-restaurant (with great meal prices), and more. Varied camping spots from grassy and near the restrooms, to almost primitive desert camping (my favorite). If there is anything I'd complain about is the train track running 50 yards form the nicest spots. That 2:45am train whistle blowing is tough to sleep through!
