All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

This was originally a Girl Scout camp called Singing Pines back in the 30’s. You’ll see as you roam around some of the original buildings and structures. It hasn’t been in operation as a Girl Scout camp for over 20 years. The neighbor camp bought the lease but haven’t had the funds to revive it yet. DIRECTIONS: Take Exit for Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2) from the 210 Go North, up the mountain for 29 miles Turn left on Sulpher Springs Rd Go about a mile and you will see a Singing Pines sign up on a hill on the right sided. There is a white gate which is usually open but if it's closed go ahead and open it. Go down that driveway about a mile and turn left at the fork. Follow that road down and around the lake staying to the right. Once you passed the lake there will be a little uphill and the location is on the left. Learn more about this land: The Skoolie is a converted short bus with two love seats that convert to an RV queen bed, sink, stove top, dinette, and over head lights. Outside is a private meadow with a short walk to a small lake. You can take out the provided sit on top kayak or bring your fishing gear. Outside the Skoolie is a picnic table, fire pit (firewood included) and a hammock. Up the hill, a very short walk is the private campground toilet facility. This is not shared with anyone else.

Angeles Crest Skoolie

Love!

We had a ton of fun here. It was very isolated, with privacy you can never get at campground. The only people we bumped into were trying to fix up one of the old girl scout structures, and they were very nice. We saw evidence of construction but never heard it while we were there. We loved exploring the abandoned buildings as much as the nature. The skooloe was very comfy, and the amenities provided were super helpful and in good condition. Just FYI in fall when we went, the lake was quite receded. If water activities are a priority for you, maybe check it out after the area has had a few good rains. I noticed they haven't opened hipcamp reservations for spring/summer 2025 yet, but my family hopes they do! We'd love to make this a regular spot.

Awesome place and awesome time!

We loved our time here. Tall trees, plenty of shade, off leash for the puppy and nature all around. The host had chairs around the fire pit, a picnic table, a gas stove and cater for us. Inside the car there were utensils (we didn’t use as brought my own), there were wood to purchase with cash (brought my own), also there was a cooler with ice. If you’re very tall the bus might be a bit tight and bed a bit short, 2 humans and a dog slept on the bed. We brought pillows and blankets as it got a bit chill at night. All I can say is that we had a wonderful time. There is space to park the car and ad tents as well. Explore around the old Girl Scouts place, hike, walk, check out the lake. We found the place from the first try. Overall, I’d go back given the opportunity and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is into nature and bird songs. Oh, there was a hammock too, trash bin and restroom available. I’m sure I’m forgetting something. All I can say we enjoyed it dearly. Book away.

Peaceful Bliss

My brother and I loved tent camping next to the Skoolie! We got there Friday evening to set up and left on Sunday. You are able to pull the car all the way up to the campground & Skoolie. The site has a nice table, several chairs/benches, and a toilet. The host brought us water and ice which was super nice. The land is incredibly peaceful, literally no one in sight, and there are so many things to explore between old structures and buildings and just plain wandering. We brought a small weber bbq and kept the fire going in the pit most of the time. I would highly recommend and we're definitely going back again :)

Fun going back to skool

The Skoolie is a fun and unique way to camp. We loved have some creature comforts and being in the woods at the same time. Cool and creepy (abandoned summer camp) places to stroll around and explore. Peaceful and secluded location. Felt much farther away from the hustle and bustle than we actually were. Thanks for the great place!
