    Really great and secluded camp site at the end of the trail. Pretty meadow with a small stream. Lots of open area. There is an 8 mile, mostly dirt road you have to take to the trail head and I would not recommend anyone drive without some reasonable clearance and all wheel drive. However this is probably why the camp site is so nice. Not a lot of people. We only saw two small groups. The trail is moderate with a pack on but downhill so if you plan to leave some weight behind on your way back up you should be fine. Not a lot of shade on the trail. Also be prepared for bugs. A little spray and the insects pretty much kept to themselves. All in all this is an excellent trail and camping area. You will need to contact the Palomar Ranger station for a permit but it’s free.
