## Overview

Falcon Group Campground has three individual group campsites just off the
scenic Ortega Highway in Southern California, which connects San Juan
Capistrano and Temecula Valley Highway.  
  
The pleasant climate, scenery, trail system and convenient location, make this
a popular destination for groups from Los Angeles and San Diego. Hiking is
especially popular among campers.

## Recreation

Hikers of any level can find trails that challenge and accommodate their
recreational goals around the campground. Among them are the Falcon Trail, a
1.4-mile easy trail that connects to the campground, and Trabuco Canyon Trail,
which provides scenic 6.8-mile hike into the backcountry.  
  
The San Juan Trial, which is popular with mountain bikers, has a trailhead at
Blue Jay campground, adjacent from Falcon Group Campground. The trail climbs a
very steep set of stacked switchbacks from the floor of Hot Springs Canyon and
traverses briefly before steeply ascending a ridge toward Sugarloaf Mountain.  
  
There are also many ideal picnic spots and scenic overlooks along Ortega
Highway.

## Facilities

There are three individual campsites within the group campground. Lupine can
hold 40 people and eight vehicles, Sage can hold 30 people and six vehicles,
and Yarrow can hold 70 people and 10 vehicles. The facility is adjacent to
Blue Jay Campground, which has first-come, first-served individual sites.

## Natural Features

The campground sits at an elevation of 3,300 ft. off the Ortega Highway scenic
drive in the Santa Ana Mountains, a route that offers beautiful views of the
surrounding mountains, valleys and forest. The area lies in a mixed forest and
chaparral ecosystem and is inhabited by a variety of birds, plants and
wildlife.

## Nearby Attractions

The closest town is Lake Elsinore, which has various shops, restaurants and
recreation opportunities.
