      Hi Franco,
      No physical address is available for Chilao campground, but we do have a general address on the campground page, as well as lat/long coordinates. Your best bet for current road closure status is checking the DMV website.

    We go camping in Chilao often since it’s so close to our home in Pasadena. So beautiful over there. Just keep in mind water is not portable.
