Middle Lion Campground offers 8 tent-friendly campsites along Lion Canyon Creek with shade from cottonwood trees, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, though no drinking water is available—bring your own.

The campground serves as a trailhead for multiple hiking routes including the Lion Canyon Trail and provides access to nearby swimming holes along the Sespe River Trail, making it ideal for hikers and those seeking creek recreation.

Located at 3,250 feet elevation near the Sespe Wilderness, sites cost $30/night with reservations available through Recreation. gov, and the rough access road accommodates vehicles up to 20 feet.
