Mt. Pinos Campground
Mount Pinos or in the Native American Chumash language, "Iwihinmu," was considered to be the center of the world, the point where everything was in balance. At 7,800 feet, the campground, bursting with views of mountains and valleys, is an ideal base for several hiking trails. The dark and clear night skies make this a picture-perfect stargazing setting. Capacity: 95 Fee: Overnight Use: Single Site: Single Site (Weekends): $32 per night Water: No water available Restroom: Vault toilets Restrictions: Cuddy Valley Road is a county-maintained paved road. During the winter when snow-covered, the county may close the snow gate at the bottom of Mt Pinos until the snow can be plowed making it safer to travel. Tire chains may be required to be installed on vehicles at the junction of Cuddy Valley Road and Mil Potrero Highway. Depending on when winter storms start, the concessionaire may close this campground between November 1st and April 30st due to snow.
