Meadow Group Campground

Meadow Group Campground is located off Highway 2 (the Angeles Crest Highway) near Chilao Campground in the Angeles National Forest. Visitors to the area enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. A number of trails in the area offer great opportunities for exploring the San Gabriel Mountains. Meadow Group Campground has two group campsites. One site can accommodate up to 24 people and 6 vehicles. The other site will hold up to 80 people and 20 vehicles. The gate to the campground is secured by a combination lock. Groups with reservations must call and obtain the combination prior to arrival at the campground. With a limited water supply at the campground, campers are encouraged to bring their own water.

There are many camping places to choose from but at 5,300 feet above sea level, Meadow Group Campground is a great choice for a weekend getaway for you and your friends. Relax in the cool mountain air, grill up some s’mores, and bust out the guitar for a campfire sing-along. And if after all that revelry you need a little time with Mama Nature, the campground is located a half-mile from the Silver Moccasin Trail, a 53-miler that cuts through the center of the Angeles National Forest. Each site has picnic tables, fire pits, and a water spigot. Reservations for both sites must be made more than four days in advance. Just two miles down the road are Newcomb’s Ranch, a restaurant, bar, general store, and gas station. Grab a burger and some of their killer fries, and check out the parade of motorcycles outside. On busy weekends it’s not uncommon for hundreds of bikers to cruise through Angeles National Forest, often stopping at Newcomb’s Ranch.
