    Tips

    April 17, 2021

    Lake Morena is a popular spot for recreation and fishing. The Pacific Crest Trail passes by right next to the campground. You will find a picnic area, campsites, fire pits, cabins, restrooms, showers and electricity. You can charge your electronics in the bathroom. Showers are 50 cents per 4 minutes. There is also a small store about 0.3 miles down the road.

    There is a section for PCT-hikers across from site 86. You have to pay a fee of 5 $ at the ranger station.

      Route 894 runs from the state park entrance to Campo. If you're planning a day trip on the PCT, you can park your car here at the end of the day. The parking fee is $5.
