Easy, secluded, multi-day hike in SG with access to water?

I'm trying to find a beautiful hike in the San Gabriel Mountains that is suitable for a group of up to 30 people that has access to water. I would prefer a secluded place where we can camp for 2-3 nights without getting interrupted by other passing parties. I would also prefer the hike to be anywhere from 2-6 miles long (one way), with a mild gain in elevation, since newbies will be on the trail. Does such a place exist?

Bear Creek might fit the bill. It's off West Fork of the SG. Familiar with it?

Iron Fork camp?

Yeah, that might work! I've gone up that trail just a little bit. I know where it is. I'd like to scope it out just a little more to see if it will really work for two groups of 15. Thanks for your input!

Not familiar with Iron Fork Camp. Where's the best place to start on that one?

East Fork/Heaton Flat. Ze is the man when it comes to that area.
