Big Rock Campground is a Forest Service site in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest in California. It sits on Forest Service Road 4N11, which is closed seasonally from May through mid-November. In winter, when the road is closed, visitors must hike 1/8 mile from the gate to reach the site. The campground has eight campsites, one of which has a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and trash receptacles are on site, and there is no piped water. Visitors are asked to bring enough water for cooking, cleaning, drinking and extinguishing campfires. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wrightwood show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 75°F, with winter highs in the upper 40s. Several trails start close by, including the Boy Scout Trail about a mile away and the Fenner Saddle Trail at about 1.5 miles. Southfork Campground and Mountain Oak are both within about 3 miles.
