Little Jimmy is a backcountry campground in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, about 2 miles off the Angeles Crest Highway just above Crystal Lake. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site is set up for first-come, first-served stays. The seven sites come with picnic tables, fire rings and vault/composting toilets. Vintage backcountry ovens round out the basics, so you can bring your own supplies for a simple campfire meal. There are no fees to use the site. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the Wrightwood weather station, about 11 miles away, show May highs near 69°F and October highs around 64°F, with summer running into the low 80s. The Mt. Islip Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and the Big Cienega Trail and South Hawkins Trail are within a mile. Deer Flat campground is about 1.1 miles off.
