Table Mountain Campground near Wrightwood CA

WOW! Newsflash this morning - Several loops in Table Mountain closed thru the week-end due to a ground squirrel testing positive for plague. Yikes! Guess that's off the list for this week-end!

I saw a host in one of the largest, most level sites near the entrance.

Is there a host that will help with finding a site or tell you which ones are reserved?

I'd scout it in my car if you're in so. CA. Its an easy drive from LA or OC and near the Mountain High ski area. You may be able to find a few spaces with clear access for a 35' RV. My heads up is not to get started on any of the campground loops without checking them first. One of them was tight enough I rubbed against brush in my Camry (no damage). I saw several smaller trailers which had been leveled with more than typical measures.

I did not write the rvparkreview regarding the motorhome, but I can understand how they sustained deep scratches.

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.

So I guess it would be a risk to try to get a 35.5 footer in there...

Very nice, good info, Thanks.

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.

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