Heart Bar State Park

Heart Bar Campground provides access to the Santa Ana River and surrounding backcountry via well-maintained facilities at 6,880 feet elevation, including 70 campsites with potable water, vault toilets, and fire rings.

The campground serves as a gateway to creek fishing and the famed Santa Ana River Trail, which offers miles of scenic mountain views, along with nearby Wildhorse Creek Trail for hiking and exploration.

Reservations are recommended and can be made through Recreation. gov; note that the campground is currently closed for road repairs with expected reopening in summer 2026.
