Foster Red Mountain Campground

I've camped here a couple of times, most recently about a week ago. I really like coming up here because it's so close to my place, especially this time of year. It's super pretty after it rains, everything's all green and colorful. The campground and bathrooms are clean too. My only gripe is how close it is to the road. You can always hear cars driving by, so it kinda takes away from the camping vibe, you know?

At first, this place seemed decent, but then came Monday. Most of the days were filled with loud noises from tree cutting and jack hammering from the street workers. Then there is also the highway right next to you, and that can get pretty loud as well. Then, along with all that, there was a couple that were staying there days on end drinking and fighting with their two dogs pooping at everyone's sites. (Thought there was a leash rule?) They also burned all their trash the whole time all day and night, including plastic, which was horrible smelling and made the entire campground a smoke hole. The place is also all dirt and lots of wind, so expect everything, including you, to be dirty the whole time, for there are no showers available here. There is also no electricity and very random w

We had a great time this past weekend at Foster Red Mountain campground. Dane was the camphost and is literally the best ever! He helped us so much, kept the bathrooms clean, and was always available if needed, also very nice and friendly. The kids loved to play on the swings. We did a little hike to the one attached to the campground. And we went across the street to enjoy the river.

It is nice quite and peaceful place to get away. I stayed there for a week, and enjoy every minute of it. Just me and my two little doggies.

We used to camp here with a lot of kids because it is easily accessible from LA and there are almost no mountain roads. There is a recreation area nearby where we could play in the river, but when we went on July 14th 2023, the recreation area on the other side of the river was under construction and closed, so we could not play in the river. Also, the men's restroom is broken, and from the cleaning inspection form, it appears that it has been broken since about May. Sites on the side near the road should definitely be avoided because of the noise of cars.
