Below are photos taken
at Mountain Lakes RV Park in Lytle Creek California - After viewing them, please visit the other five photo sections below |
Mountain Lakes RV Park, Lytle
Creek, California is a membership only. There are two fishing lakes in
the campground, miniature golf, family pool, adult swimming pool, adult
hot tub, adult rec room and much more. We were unable to get cell phone
service from AT&T or internet connection in the campground or on the
mountain. |

| Driving up the mountain in the RV was not a lot of fun. There were occasional turn-outs for slower traffic, but some of them were too small for our rig and toad. The scenic spots required permits to park and view the scenery. | |

| BRIEF HISTORY (as provided by Mountain Lakes RV Resort): Lytle Creek Canyon is part of the San Gabriel Mountains, formerly known as the Sierra Madres. The first people to claim Lytle Creek Canyon as their home were the Tahtam Indians. They were peaceful, sociable, polite, non-farmers who gathered food and hunted. Although the Spanish were believed to have occupied the canyon in the 1700s-1800s, it is not known how long they remained. When California became a territory of the United States in july of 1846, it was in a war with Mexico. In June 1851 Captain Andrew Lytle arrived in the valley below the canyon, but never lived in the canyon that bears his name. Gold played a big part in the history of the Canyon in May of 1864. Some mining continues today. Lumbering with sawmills was a profitable industry but claims for water rights were the main reason for laying claims for land in the canyon. the first campers came to Lytle Creek Canyon in 1876. Glenn Ranch, now Mountain Lakes RV Resort, has gone through several ownership changes. The two RV Gypsies were unable to have cell phone service or internet service while at Mountain Lakes RV Resort, but did have cable TV. The park has 2 fishing lakes, one with trout, one with catfish, plus a family pool, an adult pool and hot tub and adult center, plus a miniature golf course and more. | |
