Bonelli Bluffs

A little pricey but very nice facility.   All hookups 30/50 amp.  Cable TV.  There’s a pool.  A tent area. Some spaces monumentally better than others. Occasionally they run a special.  There’s good hiking and bike riding and fishing. They have a pool. 

Great RV park

Didn't actually camp, but did run through the campground when they held a color run. Seems like a nice campground for a quick get away or just a day at the park for a family BBQ. There was one or two water features, a big field, a close by kids park.

Color Run

I loved this place, this hidden gem is located in the in the middle of the city, with the feel of the outdoor. Lots of trees,  biking and hiking trails, fishing area, beautiful views, very peaceful, family friendly, pet friendly, the C9 RV spot was very spacious, I also liked the A &amp; B area. Not every site has a fire pit. Definitely coming back again. 

Hidden Gem

Wonderful park. Plenty of grassy areas and you are not on top of your neighbor. Access to the lake to go fishing.

Beautiful 

Eskimo

We had an awesome site that was right above the water. Nice grass areas between sites. Plenty of walking and hiking trails. The grounds are very well kept. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

Great campground on the lake

This is a great spot.   Beautiful views,  great hiking/ biking,  friendly staff.   San dimas is a really nice city full of shopping,  and eating.   The papa's best sandwich shop is a great place to eat as well!

Wonderful!   So nice! 

Dog friendly, clean, quiet, love the grass and trees nicely kept property. Definitely coming back , we had a great time here! 

Beautiful place!

There is camping, horseback riding, fishing, trails, biking, hiking, picnics, you can use your jet skies in designated areas, swimming on the pool areas, kayaking, Park for kids and plenty more. 

On my adventure I always come here to have a picnic and fish. I brought my horses one time and it was amazing the best time of my life. I will provide some photos. The views are incredible. 

Great things to do here

So we’ve never camped here mostly because it’s a 15 minute drive from our house and that just feels like cheating lol. But we come here constantly for fishing, bicycling, and kayaking. Biggest frustration? Dogs are not allowed out on the water, even if contained to your boat/kayak/canoe/etc, even if you strap your dog to you (she has a K9 sport sack just for this). Trust me I’ve tried all the logic there is, the sheriffs ain’t budging. I get it, but my dog loves kayaking and is very well trained and it’s frustrating to be so close yet she can’t come with me. And I’m single so it’s not exactly like I can leave her with someone on the beach while I kayak, so unfortunately when I do kayak here the poor pup has to stay home.
However, out of the water dogs are allowed and enjoyed everywhere! We have done the cycle loop of the entire park so many times I’ve lost count and everyone seems so impressed a 19 pound senior dog with a heart condition can rack up a 5 mile jog no sweat. Haha this pup is invincible! If you aren’t familiar with the trails they can get a little tricky to follow but easy enough to recorrect. (The first video shows what some of the main trails are like, easy to ride and very well kept!)

Now that a good section of the East side of the park bordering the RV Resort and Airport is privately owned it is a BEAR to circle back to your original point. Honestly we’re talking a 10 minute bike trail of about .4 miles now loops out 5 miles into the neighborhood right next to the freeway off ramp and into normal traffic near the Pomona Fairgrounds. Also no sidewalks so talk about going leisurely on a bike path dumped into 40+ mph with signaled turn lanes on 5 lane wide streets where you need to merge and make left turns. (The second video shows this transition and redirect, please be safe people!) Honestly this new adjustment has caused a lot of cyclists I know and ride with to swear off the park because it’s too much to ask for those of us with pets or small children. I heard there is a petition circling to ask for a safer updated option.

Also realize that this change is not marked anywhere on the trails or maps and there is a huge elevation change from the top parking lots north of the park down to the southeast side. This means unless you know the bike path has changed, your only option to get the last .4 miles back to your car is to jump on to a busy main road, turn around and bike back the 5 miles completely uphill, or call an Uber and have them deliver you back lol. All in all though, great place to relax and have fun.

Great spot for day-tripping and excercising

Located on a very steep incline parking is fairly far considering you have to carry all your camping gear shade is fair the bees and flies aren't too bad although you are right almost on top of the lake it's okay but like I said when we went we didn't really get to enjoy it as for we ended up getting kicked out because of the bad air quality from the fires no fault of theirs but it just sucked to not be able to really kick back

Tent camping couldn't been in a worse spot

We absolutely love it here! Great campground with an awesome staff! 

Love it!!

After experiencing both amenities this place is more or less for RVs and 4/10 as for they do have the tent camping on the steep incline and not too many sites but for RVs couldn't be happier plus the people here are nice and friendly you do have your Karen's but you're going to have them everywhere we enjoyed the lake the view the weather it could have been better over here will definitely be returning you can stay for 20 days and then you have to leave for 60 days and that's fine with me I'm looking forward to returning

Awesome for RVs but maybe not the best for tent camping

Very clean, pet friendly.....great place for exercise, walking, biking, etc.. safe environment. Beautiful RV park. Take your time on site selections to maximize your experience; plenty of great views to meet your expectations.

Beautiful setting 

This is a beautiful gem right in the middle of LA. Large bluffs overlooking a lake leading to beautiful views. Sites are concrete and level, and have plenty of room. We however ended up in the middle of a 5 RV group with about 12 screaming kids and adults that were drinking into the wee hours. We loved the location (C37) and the clean good hook ups, but had a hard time enjoying the stay with all the noise. 

If you’re looking for views in the middle of LA

Arrived to a very pleasant staff member…beautiful view of the valley below and the mountains…easy back in sites all on an angle so you aren’t right next to your neighbor… clean well lighted  BR/Showers…small store next to office, again with very friendly, helpful staff

$$ But a beautiful park

Bonelli is the best place ever. Camping, hiking, water sports. Lakefront views with beautiful spots to camp. They have RV camping, as well. If you want all in one camping, this is your place.

Summer fun

Had a great time here! We stayed in B Section which sits on top of the hill over looking the lake! Tons of grass a nice pool and hook ups for your trailer ...definitely be aware of 🦨 they like to roam the sites at night! They are very used to humans so the flashlight to the eyes doesn't seem to work that much lol you do have to pay $12 if you want to go to the lake for the day. That kinda sucks but it has a cool beach section.

Good Times 🤙

You know fairness there are a lot of spots that are better than others some closer to the lake further they have separate little communities they do have some that look as though they were permanent residents but they only allow you to stay for 21 consecutive days then you must be gone for 60 it's nice over here they have huge geese swimming pools but I haven't ran across any kind of activities or organized activities that they offer

U do pay for location

We were able to pitch a tent along side our Mini Trailer in the RV section of the park. We have visited twice now. Hiking swimming, biking, and nearby Kayaking in a clean friendly environment. The park offers large sites with nice lawn to play catch and other lawn games with the family. Also they have plenty of Restrooms and showers that are well maintained. We will be back. 

Great Family Park

Amazing park and really friendly staff. We had a not so great spot E-51 in comparison to most of the other spots, but we got a spot for the 18 days that we needed. Lots of great hiking, green grass, and tons of coyotes. 

One odd note:

The staff continually said the park was full yet we always seen open spots.

Great Park

Spent two weeks had a great time. Visitor friendly (free). Very nice and clean laundry room. 
The rate is a bit too high.
Just over $1000 for 14 days with two dogs. 

Well kept, clean and quite.

We had an amazing time at Bonelli Bluffs! The views around the outskirts of B loop are just lovely, the staff has been so friendly and helpful (we’re RV newbies and had a ton of questions) the store was stocked with all of the little things we didn’t realize we needed as well as cold drinks, food staples, some snacks and a small beer selection. The place is super dog friendly and our 3 pups loved exploring and saying hi to all the other pups around us. 

Great views, helpful staff, very dog friendly!

This is first time we visit this campground, we feel good!


First time, everything work good for us

Truly the best camp site I’ve stayed at in my short time as a full time traveler. Our campsite was up high and overlooked a beautiful lake. I loved the hiking trails!  I will be back.
