An amazing hike to the campground, but the campground is pretty lame. There is 5 major waterfalls and 26 creek crossings to get to this campground.

We did the trail from Switzer trailhead to bear canyon campground. It was ~9mi trail (out and back). The whole trail passed through the water stream. Very scenic view. Lot of bird humming is heard in the whole stretch. We found few wildflower blooms on our way. Since there is lot of switching sides of the stream throughout the trail, your shoes would get literally wet. So, recommend wearing waterproof shoes and waterproof socks to save your feet 🥶. Carry ample drinking water. Campground is primitive equipped with fire pit, picnic bench, shade, cast iron heating plank for heating ur food. You need to have pre-paid adventure recreation pass to part your vehicle at the trailhead.

A Backcountry campground, not much more than a stove, decaying Picnic Table, and a flat area to pitch your tent. A nice, peaceful campground off the beaten path. In 2014 the trail to the campground had many felled trees blocking the path, not sure if they are still there. Beware of Poison oak!

One of my favorite spots in the Angeles National Forest. Nice, easy and mostly shaded hike. Very quiet on the week days. Lots of trees for Hammock camping.
