Thomas Mountain Yellow Post Site #1
About this site
Yellow Post Campsites are unique to San Bernardino National Forest. These are single campsites intended to be used by just one party of campers. They are primitive sites that come with a fire ring and picnic table. There’s no cost to camp here, and they are open for cars, vans, and RVs. Most Yellow Post campsites are located in difficult-to-reach places, but a handful of them, including this one, are easy to get to. The one we’re covering here, is the most popular free camping site among them. Additional Info: Free dispersed camping with 14-day limit. Located at 4,400 feet elevation on Thomas Mountain Road (FR 6S13) near Idyllwild. Picnic table and fire ring provided. No water, toilets, or trash service; pack in/pack out. Fire permit required. Access road tricky but doable for most RVs. Forest rangers patrol regularly. Contact Mill Creek Ranger Station (909) 382-2882 for fire restrictions.
