Map to Blue Jay from San Juan Capistrano
Bluejay Campground is approximately 25 miles east of the Junction of Interstate 5 in San Juan Capistrano and Rte 74 (the Ortega Highway). Note: other than a strip mall in San Juan there will be NO services available anywhere other than in the immediate vicinity of the freeway. At mile 22 you will make the left hand turn onto what is locally known as Long Canyon Rd. There will be signs (MTB RACE). Long Canyon is narrow, winding and very steep. When you arrive at the tee turn right onto another narrower, winding, and steep asphalt road. The entrance to Bluejay will be on the left. You do not have to stop at the entrance. Continue through the campground to lower Bluejay and follow the instructions on the signs.
