Table Mountain Campground near Wrightwood CA, anyone stay here? Are most of the sites level? Not sure if we need to reserve for a mid week stay, looks like most sites are open on their reservation page.

Ill be interested in any replies you get as we have been considering going there as well.

I have stayed there and we loved it! 7200ft, cool crisp mountain air, pine scent from real pine trees... Ahhh! The town of Wrightwood is only a few miles down the road. There is also a neat visitor / nature center the other direction on hwy 2, the kids enjoyed it. Lots of hiking in the area, the Pacific Crest Trail goes through the area as well as the trail to the top of Mt Baden Powell named in honer of Lord Baden Powell, founder of the world scouting movement. Despite the name, the campground is not particularly flat. Some of the sites somewhat level, some not as much. I think I had to use 2 lynx blocks for my TT in site 100. Many of the driveways are long, but may take a bit of manuvering to back into them due to trees across the road etc. At 30ish ft, neither of you should have problems. Mid week you should have no problems, there are 115 sites, about half are reservable, half are first come. They are often sold out on weekends. The pictures of each site on recreation.gov are pretty decent.The road up to the campground from hwy 2 is somewhat steep and curvy, mostly 1st gear, but no nose meeting tail switchbacks. The roads in the campground can also be tight. Just take it very slow and easy. We are looking forward to going again this year. Since I live to the west, we came up the big pines highway. No problems, again some 1st gear stuff (up and down) but turns not that tight. From SD I would take 15 to 138 to 2 through Wrightwood. The road to the campground is at the junction of Hwy 2 and Big Pines hwy, across the highway from Mountain High.

I would not take most RVs into this campground without scouting the loops first. Several loops have grossly out of level sites. But more importantly a couple of the loops have very narrow and tight access roads with rocks and overgrown brush (unless it has been modified in the last year or so). Some areas of campground and sites are suitable for RVs but others are only for the smallest RVs or tents. It is a pretty area.http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/California/Wrightwood.html

Serrano was very nice. We did see of squirrels there also and was wondering who checks to see if they are healthy.

Crystal Lake had more than half the camping loops CLOSED a couple weeks ago, and the ones open were far too tight for a large rig. I'd guess 24' would be the absolute max you could fit in at Crystal Lake.

I've stayed at Table mountain, the lower loop is tight but still doable 30ft the rest of the CG is about the same. Sites are somehwat level some more than others just like any other CG. You could try Crystal Lake Rec, MAX RV size 45ft. Not sure if you have multiple rigs or not but there is lots of CG in that area.

Up in that general region, check out the Dogwood campground near Arrowhead and Crestline. Very nice Federal campground, completely renovated a few years ago. Plenty of room for big rigs. We've stayed there a couple of times. Never stayed at Table Mt though it's not far from us.
