About Pyramid Lake - Los Alamos Campground

Overview

Los Alamos Campground is located 90 minutes from Los Angeles, offering a restful experience without the lengthy travel time. Guests enjoy the beauty of the nearby Pyramid Lake at the base of mountains, and the excitement of lake activities like jet skiing and wakeboarding.

An aqueduct carries the water down through the Tehachapi Mountains to its southern California resting point at Pyramid Lake.

Recreation
