Finding us

Look for the Candy Store

We’re on the Ortega Highway (Hwy 74) between San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore. The famous Candy Store marks the park entrance — when you see it, you’ve arrived.

From I-5 (Orange County)

Take I-5 to the Ortega Hwy exit (Hwy 74) at San Juan Capistrano. Head east 19 miles up the mountain. The Candy Store and the Ortega Oaks entrance will be on your right.

A scenic, winding two-lane road — give the rig about 40 minutes and enjoy it.

From I-15 (Inland Empire)

Take I-15 to the Hwy 74 exit at Lake Elsinore. Head west 12 miles — 3 miles past El Cariso Village. The Candy Store and the Ortega Oaks entrance will be on your left.

About 20 minutes from the lake, with big overlooks near the crest.

We’ll keep a campfire spot for you.
