Devils Cyn Campground

Devils Canyon Campground is a backcountry wilderness campsite located in the San Gabriel Mountains, accessible via a 6. 1-mile hiking trail from the Angeles Crest Highway trailhead.

The campground features a broad, cleared area on Devil's Canyon Creek's west bank with year-round water flow (except during drought years), though no developed amenities, bathrooms, or fires are available—backpacking stoves are permitted with a free wilderness permit.

A wilderness permit is required for overnight stays; contact Angeles National Forest/San Gabriel Mountains National Monument HQ at 626-574-1613, and note that group size is limited to 25 people.
