Mt. Pinos Campground

US Forest Service · California

Mt. Pinos Campground in California. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 1330 public campsites we map in California.

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.
