Customer Reviews
Great place to get away. Easy drive if you have a high clearance vehicle 4wd or not. No water or rest rooms as these are yellow post sites. However, most sites have fire rings and picnic tables. Site 7 is a bit confusing in that there appears to be 3 entrances that are pretty far apart.
The view was amazing and we had the place to ourselves.
You don't really need 4x4 to get up there,I made it up with a 99 front wheel drive expedition.The views are beautiful since you can see 360 degrees at some points,there's only about 4 camp sites but if full people don't mind if u make your own...you can ride this trail from hemet to little Tomas mtn too.....people please keep it clean. I posted a photo of the hemet lake side during our winter in 2023 Feb.
I really this trail for it being clean, and secluded, great views going up "little thomas trail"......different campgrounds to choose from once you are up there.
Found a great, quiet secluded spot to camp away from the campground noise of Lake Hemet, etc.. First night was great. Second day the partiers showed up, and all hell broke loose. Even though it's secluded, dispersed camping you can't escape the idiots.
