Apple Canyon Yellow Post Sites, San Bernardino NF
Site #1 – Suitable for large RVs, easy to get into, however offers the least seclusion.
Site #2 – The site itself is large enough for any size RV, and the site offers the most seclusion of the three yellow post sites. However the access road has some tight turns that might make this difficult.
Site #3 – Suitable for large RVs, easy to get into, yet offers a good deal of seclusion.
How Crowded: These sites are extremely popular. Site #3 seems to be the most popular. If you arrive on a Friday or Saturday, it’s very unlikely you’ll find an open site.
How Noisy or Peaceful: There’s a fair amount of road noise. Site #2 offers the most peace due to its secluded nature. During weekends, you’ll encounter a lot of people scoping out these sites.
Cellular Phone Signal: Verizon comes in fair to average, while T-Mobile and AT&T struggle, but still offer some signal.
Road Conditions: Apple Canyon Road is paved, though the access roads into these sites are hard packed dirt. Site #1 might pose the softest dirt, but 2WD vehicles are fine as long as the road is dry. Site #1 gets muddy in wet weather.
Amenities Within Campground: Just picnic tables and fire rings.
Cost of Camping: It’s free to camp at these sites, first come, first serve.
