Haddock Camp is a small backcountry campsite located in the Sespe Wilderness within Los Padres National Forest. The camp is situated amidst a large flat spot surrounded by grass and towering pine trees. This primitive camp can be accessed via the Piedra Blanca Trail (22WO3) either from the north starting at the Reyes Peak Trailhead (5.5 miles) or from the south starting at Piedra Blanca Trailhead (10 miles).

The camp is located just above 6,000 feet of elevation and may receive snow in the winter and early spring. 

This is an active bear area and proper food storage is essential. 

WATER
Piedra Blanca Creek - seasonal (must be treated before consumption).

MAXIMUM LENGTH OF STAY: 14 Days
