Directions

From Interstate 210 in Pasadena, exit the Angeles Crest Highway (Hwy.2) and drive north for 9 miles. Turn left onto the Angeles Forest Hwy. (County Rd. N3) and drive about 12 miles to the intersection with Santa Clara Dive Rd. at Mill Creek Summit (there is a sign). Turn right and drive about 6 miles to the signed gate. Turn left and take the dirt road for 4 miles to the campground. The gate is locked in the winter when the road is impassable. Walk in at that time. May also be reached from the Sunland area by taking Big Tujunga Canyon Rd. and turning left at the Angeles Forest Highway, or taking the Angeles Forest Highway from the Palmdale area. Call (818) 899-1900 for current conditions and additional information.

Reviews of Mount Pacifico

Plus: Mount Pacifico has the most beautiful views at night you can imagine.
It is close to hiking trails starting just outside the campsite.
Negative: It is bear country and you must be careful & keep a clean campsite.
The elevation is about 7100 ft. so moderation is needed for physical activity. Rattlesnakes, especially baby rattles are present and all campers need to be aware and careful. The last 1 mile of road leading to the campsite is a bit rough at points but you do not need a 4 wheel drive to get there.
