Does anyone know of a campsite near Texas Canyon?

I cant think of anything "near" T canyon... But i would beg the question, do you need to spend more than a half day there?

bogie1989..... The closest tent camping may be Castaic Lake or Oak Flats near Castaic, or North KOA in Acton, at exit 11.

Listen up, here's the strory! Texas Canyon is a CHOSSY MESS! Nothing but easy beginner low angle choss fest!

READ: It is NOT worth it! maybe a total GUMBIE could spend more than a day there but any real climbers who can send more the chapman should go elsewhere..

I thought you could camp any where (almost) you want in the ANF. If you just want to sleep, camp there. Or go about a mile further and you can camp at the 1st Staging area, where there's fire pits, tables and a bathroom. Not very aesthetic,probably windy, and a good chance you'll hear dirt bikes in the AM, and I wouldn't be surprised if on the weekend there was a kegger-pallet fire, but A-OK to camp there. Probably better off at the Acton KOA.

Today, the rangers closed the road to Texas Canyon (Rush Canyon Road), citing health and safety reasons resulting from the heavy rains this weekend. When I inquired about camping, the rangers indicated that camping IS ALLOWED at Texas Canyon and Staging Area #1, but open fires are NOT permitted, except in designated fire rings.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
