### What to Expect

Monte Cristo Campground is located towards the backside of the San Gabriel
Mountains in a high-desert climate making the epic views seem endless. It is
one of Angeles National Forest's lesser-used spots to pitch a tent. With 19
large, spacious and accessible sites, grab a friend (or two or three) and
spend the weekend telling stories around the campfire, taking a short drive to
hike Granite Mountain, or dip in the cool waters of postcard-worthy Switzer
Falls.

Monte Cristo Campground recently underwent a complete renovation. All
campsites in the campground were totally revamped during the renovation. There
are now 19 individual camp sites with sites #6 and #7 as double sites. In
order to ensure fee compliance site #6 was designated as #6A and #6B; and site
#7 was designated as #7A and #7B. This is to inform the public if both A and B
sites are occupied at #6 and #7, campers will be required to pay double to
occupy the double sites.

and swimming.
