The Frazier Mountain Trailhead (elev. 5400 ft.) is located on the west side of Frazier Mountain Road (8N04) approximately ¾ mile south of Lockwood Valley Road and Forest Service Chuchupate Ranger Station. There is a large paved parking lot with pull-through stalls for vehicles with trailers or motor homes and a vault toilet at the trailhead. The signed Off Highway Vehicle trail starts at the southwest end of the parking lot. There is no overnight camping allowed at the trailhead, except in self-contained vehicles, but Chuchupate Campground, with 29 individual sites, is located 2 miles further south on Frazier Mountain Road.
