Cooper Canyon is a Forest Service campground in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest in California. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site has no fees. The only facility is vault toilets. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Mt Wilson show May highs around 70°F and October highs around 72°F, with only a few wet days in each. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Mt. Waterman #2 is about a mile away, and Buckhorn campground is just over a mile off. Climbers can head to Ramblin' Wall, about 2.3 miles away, and paddlers to the West Fork San Gabriel River, roughly 8.4 miles away.
