Acton is popular during peak season. Reserve 2-4 weeks in advance for weekends and holidays.
Most parks have check-in after 1:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Call ahead if you'll arrive late.
California weather can change quickly. Pack layers and check the forecast for Acton.
Don't miss local attractions near Acton. Ask the camp host for hidden gems and trails.

The campground itself is fine. The combo to the gate was confusing. There is absolutely no cell service out there until you are almost back in Glendale so you can't call for help. BEWARE the google maps directions send you to a closed service road (Loomis Ranch Road) full of rock slides, fallen trees and cliffs. Once you turn onto the road, there is nowhere to turn around and no way to call for he... The campground itself is fine. The combo to the gate was confusing.

Once you turn onto the road, there is nowhere to turn around and no way to call for help. Instead, you should turn at the Chilao Campground entrance, which also saves you about 35 mins of driving. The directions google gives are VERY DANGEROUS.

Beautiful group campground near the top of the area. Remote enough so there is no cell phone coverage and limited water, but there are toilets and good parking. We have used it twice now for large group camping with 40+ attending. Spaces for the whole group crowd around a fire or lay out grills to serve pancakes and sausage to the whole group.

Great for a big group, but not much in the way of hiking trails or streams/ponds. Kinda just a place to get away and unplug for a big group.

We got trapped on site because the gate got locked behind us when we went in. The combo provided didn’t work. We got out eventually but it was an awful situation.

Nice large campground for 6 families. No really central fire pit like some places.
