A very nice park with a lot of wildlife (squirrels, birds, rabbits). Had a wonderful 2 night stay, but for some reason the water is off. A great value spot in OC that’s right down the road from San Juan Capistrano and Mission Viejo. 25-30 min from the coast, but the temps were very pleasant.

Stayed in space 9 of the Ortega Flats Campground for two nights in May 2023. This was our first time staying here. Ortega Flats is the only camping area at Caspers with any utility hook-ups. The campground was clean, space 9 was large and had a lot of shade. Water was not turned on and there is no septic hook-up at all so all we had was an electric hook-up. They do have a dump station by the front gate. Ortega Flats Campground is right next to Ortega Highway and there was some road noise during the day but it was quiet at night. Caspers Wilderness Park is huge - we drove to explore the other areas. There are other camping areas further from the road that don't have any utility hook-ups. The area is very pretty. We had a good time - I'd stay here again.

Part of the OC Parks system, it's a wonderful place for camping or just day use. There are hiking trails, a playground, portable bathrooms (the real ones are perpetually broken), and a nature center. The grounds are very well maintained, and the hiking trails are magnificent. I've been here a few different times with the YMCA Adventure Guides program. Update: the Juaneño Trail was closed as of fall '23.

It is beautiful place. Sadly, no one around to enforce the night time noise. Twice now people up making noise past 11 pm. Not a place to get away from city noise, they just bring it with them.

A lovely restful walk down to the creek. And very close to town!

Great hiking trails. I recommend the Juaneno Trail. It's an easy 2.68 mile one way trail and you see amazing bluff cliffs to your left and so much cactus! I've never been on a trail with so much cactus. It was like a cactus wonderland. If you decide to hike on the Badger Pass Trail, there is no shade and it is very steep. I think it's worth it though for the views you get. They also have a wonderful Nature Center and a few souvenirs for purchase. $3.00 for a day use pass. I went during a weekday and only saw three people on the trail. Bring lots of water as it gets hot in this park not just during the summer months. Enjoy!
