It looks like it's currently under restoration. We were disappointed that people would trash the place. Beer bottles, cans, and trash were in the fire pits. You can see broken bottles and spent ammo cartridges on the outside perimeter of the campsite. Used tissue would litter the campground . I can only speculate this is a spot locals use frequently since it's a long way from Big Bear Lake and closer to the Lucerne Valley side. Phone reception is spotty and non existent most of the time. There are a lot of red ant colonies around the sites and they are HUGE!!!
The potential of this place is great. One of the few areas where we saw wildlife -2 deers to be exact. The views are amazing of the surrounding valleys. Just be warned this place can get WINDY. We were fortunate that it was windy during the day but completely calm at night.
We cleaned up the fire pits that contained glass, cans, and a Starbucks cup. We also picked up unsightly litter on the ground and hopefully will give others a much better experience if they do come here. This place has potential. Let's all leave places like these better than how we found it.
