Dome Springs Campground<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Los Padres Forest Rd #8N40<\/strong><\/p>\n

North of Lockwood Valley Rd. 20 miles W of Frazier Park, CA<\/a><\/p>\n

Free, small campgrounds are abundant inside the Los Padres. Pinyon pine forest & a wide high desert wash, steep canyons and mountain wilderness. Kern County’s highest peak sits nearby @ Mount Pinos<\/a> 8831′, with neighboring Mount Able<\/a> 8286′ directly west of Pinos. Peak to Peak hike is a popular attraction for day hikers and backpackers alike.<\/p>\n

free campground\u00a0 \/ badlands terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n

When mountain winter temps set in (around the holiday season), camping overnight in the low lands might be more appealing. Domesprings is a perfect camp spot for car campers, off roaders, hunters or even mountain bikers. OHV trails, target shooting areas are abundant, as well as hiking and stargazing opportunities. The main wash is called Dry Canyon, which is nice when there has been some mild rain for minimal dust. No motor bike, vehicles or bicycles in the neighboring Chumash Wilderness, which borders this region on the north next to Mt Pinos.<\/p>\n

Dome Springs – Dry Canyon<\/strong> main access road #8N40 can be sandy at times and 4×4 might be needed to reach camp during drier months. Snow or wet weather might also pose a problem with this road, so always check weather and call the rangers ahead of time to find out current road conditions. Most of the time you can get back here with a low rider passenger car.<\/p>\n
