Out of Town Camps

The City of Los Angeles offers year-round group camping opportunities at its out-of-town camps.  The fees include rental of individual or dormitory style cabins, depending on the camp, and full use of kitchen and lodges.  Groups must provide their own food.  Weekend rentals are available from Labor Day through mid-June.  During the Summer months (Mid-June until Labor Day), rentals are on a week-long basis (usually Sunday through the following Saturday). Camps vary in size and maximum camper occupancy.
