Peavine Campground is a Forest Service campground in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest in California. It sits among a cluster of campgrounds and trails, with Appletree and Lake Campground both within a third of a mile. Vault toilets are the only facility listed for the site, and the campground is not reservable. That makes it a simple, no-frills base for an overnight stay in the mountains. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Wrightwood weather station show May highs around 69°F and October highs around 64°F, while July peaks near 83°F and winter lows drop to about 25°F. Several other spots are close by. Jackson Lake Interpretive and Jackson Lake hikes are each within a mile, and Mountain Oak campground is about 0.7 miles away. Climbers can find the Devil's Punchbowl climbing area roughly 8 miles off.
