Campground information - Applewhite Campground is tucked up in Lytle Creek Canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains and close to Lytle Creek. The campground is first-come first-serve (will be comprised of reservations in the near future) and has 44 campsites for tents, trailers and RVs. There are a few double campsites. Each campsite has a table, fire ring and grill. The campground has drinking water, flush toilets and a friendly campground host.

Across the road from Applewhite Campground is beautiful family picnic area along Lytle Creek.
