Campsite AtlasNorth Shore (Ca)
North Shore Campground is a quiet place to camp, away from the hustle and bustle of nearby cities. The campground is nestled among Southern California's pine-covered mountains, providing ample opportunity for outdoor relaxation and recreation. The North Shore National Recreation Trail connects the campground with Papoose Lake (trail is not accessible). The 1.7-mile trail descends through a mixed conifer forest and settles along Little Bear Creek, providing scenic views of the surrounding area . Please note, nearby Lake Arrowhead is a private lake. The campground offers multiple single-family campsites, available mostly for tent camping.
