Coldwater Canyon Yellow Post Sites

Coldwater Canyon Yellow Post Sites, San Bernardino NF

Note: All three sites require 4WD to access. Site #17 is large enough for several vehicles, but motorhomes and long trailers are not advised due to severe road conditions.

How Crowded: These sites are very popular during the warmer months. On weekends, these sites are nearly impossible to find unoccupied.

How Noisy or Peaceful: Site #17 offers to most peace because it’s isolated from the other two, and is set back about 100 feet from the road. The other two sites can get noisy due to being popular with party-goers.

Cellular Phone Signal: Verizon comes in strong, uncertain about AT&T and T-Mobile.

Road Conditions: Coldwater Canyon Road (Forest Road 3N06A) requires 4WD and high clearance. You have to cross Lytle Creek bed to get into Coldwater Canyon, then cross Coldwater Creek to get to the first site.
