## Overview

Escape to Mountain Oak Campground in the Angeles National Forest for a
restful, refreshing getaway from city life. Just northwest of the Los Angeles
metro area, Mountain Oak provides a scenic and relaxing destination for
camping, hiking, picnicking and wildlife viewing.  
  
The campground is also near Jackson Lake for easy access to fishing, canoeing
and swimming.

## Recreation

Swim or canoe in the refreshing waters of Jackson Lake, the only lake near
Wrightwood. The lake is stocked with trout and bluegills. Powerboating is not
permitted in the lake, so the setting is peaceful and quiet.  
  
Hikers can find trails near the campground.

## Facilities

The single-loop campground provides lots of shade from towering trees but
minimal privacy from neighboring campgrounds. Ground cover is mostly pine
needles and leaves.  
  
Bear-proof food containers are provided at each campground and amenities
include picnic table, grills and flush toilets. Drinking water is also
available.

area.  
  
Jackson Lake spans just 3 acres and lies in the San Gabriel Mountains. Formed
by the San Andreas fault, the lake is primarily fed by snow runoff from the
mountains and is hugged by grass and sand beaches. The lake is ideal for
listening to nature's soundtrack, complete with sounds of birds singing and
leaves rustling in mountain breezes.  
  
A diverse variety of animal life exists in Angeles National Forest, such as
bobcat, mountain lion, bear and Nelson bighorn sheep. Many species of birds
and smaller animals also inhabit the forest.
