About This Location
Discover the rugged beauty of Sawmill Campground, a primitive, year-round USFS site offering 8 secluded spots for those seeking a true back-to-basics experience.
Sawmill Campground offers a quiet, primitive escape for outdoor enthusiasts looking to unplug in the heart of California's national forest land. Situated at a 5,200-foot elevation, this remote site features 8 first-come, first-served campsites that provide a peaceful setting for those who enjoy a true wilderness experience. Because the campground is off-grid with no water available, it is ideal for self-sufficient campers who come prepared to be fully independent during their stay.
The terrain is rugged and scenic, perfect for travelers who prefer a rustic atmosphere over modern resort-style parks. The facility is equipped with vault toilets, but visitors should note that there are no hookups available. The site can accommodate smaller RVs up to 16 feet in length, making it a cozy spot for compact rigs, van lifers, and tent campers alike.
Accessibility is a key consideration for this location. You must approach the campground via Pine Canyon Road, as the 7N23 route is currently impacted by a washout and the Old Ridge Route is not a viable access point. For the most current conditions and travel updates, please contact the Acton Work Center before heading out.
