About the Campground
At an elevation of 4,000 feet, this group area is located a short distance off Ruby Road near Pena Blanca Lake. It is available for use only by groups that reserve in advance. The access road is gated and locked when the area is not being used. Groups do come to Calabasas to enjoy the area's natural setting. Campsites here are spread out among a stand of oak trees within a shallow, grassy valley. A few well-worn pathways lead to low hilltops in the area where you will find good views of the surrounding valleys and mountains.
Facilities at Calabasas include 14 tables, 12 combination fire rings/grills, three (3) group barbecue grills, two (2) benches, parking area and toilets.
Since this group site is very spread out with its size, there is enough space to set up additional tables and facilities.
