Coon Creek Yellow Post Campsites

We’ve been coming here for three years. The access to the first 14 sites are easy with most vehicles. 15 through 19 yellow post you must go up to the canyon you will need a four-wheel-drive or higher vehicle access. I drive a ram 2500 Cummins diesel turbo Laramie make a cab never had any problem getting stuck. We have taken or airstream all the way to the top of Coon Canyon! You don’t have to drive really slow about 3 to 4 miles an hour the road is very ruttered out. But it is doable. Each site has plenty of space very quiet and peaceful. Better access during the weekdays to grab a site for the weekend he must be in the site with equipment to hold it. Stays up to 14 days. Please pack out all trash leave it like a found it. Also a heads up if you need water Barton Flats has fresh spring water at the RV clean out area. We always fill our trailer there before we head in you can dump sewage and pick up more water there they also have bathrooms. There’s a gas station in Angeles Oaks and a restaurant there’s also store. You’re only 30 minutes from big Bear over the top of the grade for anything that you might need as well. We love this natural yellow post area please leave it like you found iIt !pack out any extra trash.

Never been somewhere manzanitas grow that I didn't love. This is no exception. Ponderosa pines, some scattered scrub oaks, and plenty of other flora. Birds, squirrels, lizards of course, and saw my first scorpion.

Access to the first roughly 8 sites is easy, after that you need 4wd. The sites are huge, but unfortunately not well spaced, neighbors are within sight and sound. The terrain is fairly sloped and it's difficult to get level. The neighbor proximity and slope are the only reasons I gave four stars instead of five.

The town of Big Bear Lake is only half an hour away and they have a legit grocery store. Heart Bar Campground is at the beginning of the road, and from what I'm told you can get water and dump trash there. No problem getting T-Mobile and Verizon service.

I've stayed here twice and both times were great. Good & Simple sites w/table and firepit. Dirt road gets a little rough after site 12... I've only gone as far as site 14, because I didn't feel adventurous enough. I pulled a 25 ft trailer with my FWD suv and didnt have any issues. Plenty of small coupes up here as well, so unless it's raining and muddy, most cars should be able to make it up.

No restrooms, so be advised.

Went here with some friends and camped for 3 days, 2 nights. Had a great time with the off road trail that can be walked. Stayed at site 13 which is one of the last ones. No one on either side of me. The further back you go, the less people there are due to the road getting more tough for non 4WD/AWD. If you can get back further, I’d recommend it as we never heard anyone else in the entire time we stayed there, it was our own private experience. We saw a rattler and a deer as well in our time here, very cool. Includes a fire pit and table, but no bathroom, garbage or bear box (neighboring established campsite up the road has both of these if you really need to use either one.) Leave no trace!

Fire pit, table, lots of trees for shade and a hammock, and lots of space for tenting. In fact, many of the sites are huge and can fit a lot of people but I think the max is 8 people. Double-check. However, the sites are too close to each other, so you can hear your neighbors easily. Some trash was left behind from campers before us. Folks, let’s be self aware and considerate of others. Leave no trace.

This is a great boondocking site. We stayed here in our 24 foot Class C RV and the 1.6 mile dirt road from Highway 38 to the campsites was wide and straight. Super easy access for our rig. The campsites are huge and set in a beautiful Jeffrey pine forest. The scenery is spectacular and it was so peaceful. Sites 1-9 are all easily accessible. We did not make it to the other sites but I believe they are another 3 miles or so up the road after site 9. The road gets a lot more rugged and narrow and is probably suited for high clearance vehicles. We will be back.

First, let me say we did not stay here. We are camping at Heart Bar Campground so decided to take a walk to check it out. Getting there, the road is wide and hard-packed dirt. The first few campsites a huge, far apart from each other but leveling might be a challenge. As you go farther back, some sites are very hard to get into. Better scout them out first. We posted some pics to show you.
