Description
The Gordon Hirabayashi Campground is a popular recreation area in the Coronado National Forest. The campground was formerly known as the Catalina Federal Prison Camp during WWII, before being renamed as Gordon Hirabayashi in 1999.
Campers can get a taste of history through wandering among the camp ruins and learn some historical information from a series of information panels present. The campground has 12 campsites, with standard forest service picnic tables and campfires with grills. There are no drinking water or garbage service available. The pet-friendly Gordon Hirabayashi includes a vault toilet, and campers should know that there are no hookups in the area.
