Apple Canyon Yellow Post Camp Site #1

There are three sites here with fire rings, very private free campsites if you get there first. No facilities, no water, just a fire ring and a picnic table. Road report: I went there at the very end of March 2019 and the road to the campsites was flooded. It was open, But you had to cross a fast moving stream about 10 feet wide and maybe a little over a foot deep. It changed over the 2 days I was there too, was kinda scary getting out in my sedan but I wouldn't recommend it. Read more as the road to campsite 2 was really rough as well from recent rains. I spent two nights at site #3 and it was beautiful (cold in late March though). Site #1 and 2 were also nice. Site #1 was open to a meadow and had lots of room around it (I uploaded a picture). Site #2 has a private road into it, but that road was in really rough shape, big clearance 4x4 required. It is possible to get to site #2 from the site #1 road, but it was bad enough I didn't want to try it with my Jetta. Both sites #1 and #2 are located across the road from where I camped (closer to where the red pin is on the google map). Two bad things about site #3 - Recent fires (and fire-line activity) has made a mess of everything just past the campground, I just didn't look in that direction as much :) - The Fire ring is toast it's all bent and crooked, usable though

Stayed at post 1 and it was nice but you are unprotected from the wind. I did have to clean up the previous people's mess. I take the dog and I didn't want her to cut a paws on broken glass. Please clean up when you leave....there is plenty of room to roam. I will go back but will try 2 or 3 post.

I personally enjoy this as the number one go to for me and my family to escape the rest of the world it has free camping at three or four yellow posts. My husband gets good phone reception I do not he has Boost mobile. I go threw TMobile. Easy road access for any type of vehicle, no trash cans, hook ups or restrooms, but lake Hemet and Hurkey creek do and they are only across the street i do believe you have to pay tho

This is a nice site at the edge of a meadow close to Lake Hemet ... BUT after the Cranston Fire a lot of the access road is either muddy or sandy depending on whether it has rained recently. I wouldn't try to use the site without 4x4.
