Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-22: no rate published by the agency. San Bernardino publishes no page for this PCT trail camp -- every slug probed under fs.usda.gov/r05/sanbernardino/recreation/ and fs.usda.gov/fs-rec-area/ returns 404, and the forest's passes-permits and recreation-fees paths 404 as well. The Forest Service recreation-sites record flags fee_charged=Y but carries no fee amount, no fee type, no page URL and no recreation.gov listing; a 30-mile recreation.gov search returns nothing for Holcomb Crossing. The nearest priced page, Holcomb Valley Campground at $27, is a different campground 10.4 mi away and its rate does not apply here. Checked https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_RecInfraRecreationSites_02/MapServer/0 (objectid 2487337) and https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/sanbernardino/recreation/holcomb-valley-campground.
