Awesome hidden gem

Green valley lake campground is an awesome place for a fun getaway. We wanted to get away for the Fourth of July but waited too long to book in Big Bear. Thankfully we found the Green Valley Lake campground! Check in was a little confusing, the camp host was not at their station. So we just drove around and found our site and eventually ran into the camp host who was very kind and accommodating. The sites were interestingly laid out and some had little wooded areas that you actually camp behind, others had interesting ground layouts with multiple levels, we found it really cool. Our site was a flat site, water and bathrooms are central to the loops. Bathrooms were fine for a small campground.

The camp hosts are very attentive and even drove by making sure we had enough firewood!

Nearby there is Green Valley lake, just a couple miles up the road, you do have to drive there. The town is very small and cute. The lake is very clean and has a lot of fish. It is privately owned so you do have to pay to fish or swim, and you pay per person, so keep that in mind if you have a large group. Everyone was very kind and we enjoyed fishing from the shore.

Big bear lake is about a 30 minute drive from the campground, we went there for the Fourth of July fireworks.

Overall we really enjoyed our trip to Green Valley Lake and we would camp there again!
