List of the Best Camping Areas in the Idyllwild Area

Non-Wilderness Trails

Permit Not Required for Day Hiking

Campgrounds
  • These are developed campgrounds with 25 sites or less.  For the camper who wants a campground without the crowds.  Most of these campgrounds are low cost ($10) or even FREE of charge.  Some are on narrow side roads, well off the highways & may require a good map. Fire rings, picnic tables & pit / vault toilets are usually provided. 
Primitive Camping
  • These include undeveloped & partially developed camp areas with dispersed remote camping. For the self-contained camper who wants some seclusion.  The "yellow-post" fire safe areas in Southern Calif.  National Forest Lands are among these listed. Back roads to privacy - many dirt roads lead the avid camper to out-of-the-way sites. Most National Forest Lands let you camp almost anywhere with a fire permit.  Sites may have picnic tables & fire rings, but usually NO toilets.  Some sites may be as bare as a rock fire ring in a small clearing.  A detailed backcountry map is advised.  A high clearance vehicle/sport utility vehicle (SUV) is sometimes needed to reach these wilderness roads/camping spots.  Check with the ranger station for road conditions and Permits & Passes needed.
