Wheeler Gorge Campground

Great place to get away, peaceful relaxing, CLEAN!! Nice welcoming hosts, spacious sites,clear river water, only downside was the position oak but hey to be expected in the woods. Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the beautiful creek that runs through the campground and the peacefulness of the location. The camp host knows her stuff and is justifiably firm so don't mes with her. :) The location is beautiful and despite being close to the road it was very quiet. There is NO running water (aside from the creek). I underestimated how much I needed to clean my hands, for cooking and pots and pans but the market was 10 min. away. I was there during the week in the summer and there were a lot of empty spaces but on the weekend it filled up. The toilets are vault aka outhouses and are remarkably clean during the week but a little smelly once the weekend hit. I can't wait to go back.

10/10 would recommend. There are so many great sites to choose from. Try and get a spot by the creek, some sites look bigger than others! Campground offered a lot of shade too. The vault toilet was clean and the campground was quiet and the stars were OUT! There is no cell service (att) and bring your own water too. Our site was spacious, private, and we also had our own little private beach in the creek, it was magical.

Great location close to Wheeler Gorge, Mosler Rock and serval other deep Rock pools to swim and Boulder jump in, it close to many easy access park and swim spots. Great summer destination that is with 5-10 minutes away from rock pools galore. We feature many of these best SoCal swim holes on YouTube on our channel hikebytes. Check out our Playlist called best park and swim destinations. Showers and bathrooms and camp sites for reasonable fees.

Depending on your site this place can be really cool. Sites along the river are better- some are right along the highway which seemed terrible. No running water and poison oak along the sides of most sites. Cool creek with some bigger areas to wade in. Close to town if you forget anything but highway noise wasn’t a problem with the creek side sites. Might just be the weekend we were there but tons of loud kids made it not super peaceful.
