Ortega Oaks Candy Store & Goods

A farmhouse-style roadside institution on Ortega Highway 74, serving day hikers and drivers for over 40 years. Expect retro candy, fourth-generation homemade fudge, fresh-baked cookies, hot drinks, and camping supplies, plus restrooms and shaded benches. The classic "must-stop," directly across from the San Juan Loop trailhead.

Note: operation has been intermittent through ownership changes, so check ahead before relying on it.
