Heaton Flats was the campsite that turned me into the camper I am. I went in November 2011. The weather was freezing! I knew nothing about camping! But I fell in love with the tall trees, the stream filled with gold prospectors, and the hike to get to the spot. Continue reading

First there was graffiti that flooded the area now this: last weekend I was absolutely appalled at the trash around Heaton Flats campground in Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel mountains. Trash was everywhere! Below are some pictures I took of the waste left behind…Hasn’t anyone ever heard of LNT- Leave No Trace?! Leave No Trace is an organization that teaches people of all ages outdoor ethics. You should respect mother nature and leave it the way Continue reading

My boyfriend and I just got back from a one-nighter at Heaton Flats in the San Gabriel mountains. We got up there around 10:30 PM and hiked in about 1/2 a mile to Heaton Flats, set up our camp site, and got our drinking on (wine and tall cans of beer 🙂 ). The next day we panned for gold, took some pictures, and headed back home. It was the perfect little trip to escape for one day 🙂 Continue reading

We left San Diego on Friday at 7:30 PM right after work to avoid the traffic. My brother lives in LA so off we went to make a pit-stop at his Tujunga house then off to the Angeles National Forrest. We arrived at 12:30 AM and got a prime parking spot. After loading up our gear on our backs we hiked about 0.5 miles to Heaton Flats campground. We noticed a ridiculous amount of people and hadn’t taken into consideration the holiday earlier that week. After setting up our camp, we situated a table out of a bucket and sluice (pronounced like “juice” with a sl- instead of j-) and got our game on with Phase 10- one of the greatest card games EVER! It was about mid-low 60’s and it felt great! After a few rounds of card and a couple shots of Jack Daniels it was off to bed where a busy day was ahead of us! Continue reading
