Lake Hemet Campground

Great place to ride atvs and enjoy the beauty of the lake and surrounding areas. There are no designated spots or fire rings, but as long as you're careful and responsible, there are plenty of rocks to build your own.

We booked a few days here on our 2 month trip to be able to relax in a nice campground, but we were a bit disappointed.

Toilets and shower were not very nice, you do not get much privacy as the sites are quite close to each other, and it is super busy, a lot of people around. Even during the day it is quite noisy.

Location is good though, and it is nice to be up here in summer as the temperature is a bit better.

The day use areas were under water and we weren’t told we were allowed to be anywhere else so we just drove around and checked it out then left.

It looked like a nice lake to fish in and I know they don’t control the water levels but $25 is a lot for day use

I've been coming to Lake Hemet for several years. The campground is clean and the fishing is good, most of the time. They stock the lake regularly so you have a good chance of catching trout, even from the shore.

It can get a little loud on the weekends with drunk party-goers. There's not a lot of campground etiquette either. Not the campgrounds fault. Just uncaring people stomping through your site on their way to and from where ever.

There's a water park for playing in the lake but, the lake is off limits to pets. If you forget something there's a store at the entrance. You can even get a fishing license there if needed. 

The staff are friendly and helpful most of the time. But, like anywhere people get out of hand they can get surly too. 

A lot of sites have some shade but you have to look for them. Full hookups are available too.

My friends and I have been camping here for New Years and other random summer/ holiday weekends for about 5 years now. It’s only 45min. Away from home, so we can drive back if needed for any reason as well as just a quick and peaceful get away. We have just camped to relax, Kayak, fish, and play Disk Golf. They always keep their bathrooms and porta potties clean! Their campsites are well maintained and clean as well! When the water level is way up, it’s even prettier!

No one was here end of April during the week. So glad for that.

All sites are WAY close together, price is expensive! With a Sr discount and the booking fee waived (since we were just passing thru for 1 night) we paid $59 for a dry site. Most sites are not level even for a tent, but 506 worked for our large rented RV.

Lake is lovely!

Really a fun lake to actually catch some fish. Kayaking, biking & boat rentals. Busy on weekends and empty during the week; it’s a great place to bring a tent or RV. No hookups unless you want to park in the full time resident area. Lots of water spigots/trash cans located throughout each zone. Friendly staff host & 25min. from idyllwild

While it was ridiculously hot, the swimming area was a great place to cool off. Clean campground with great, friendly staff. We’ll be back I’m sure!

great campground. quiet and pretty views in every direction

This lake is free outside camp ground Fishing at first driveway/ turn out when you enter id the best

We love this site...... no hook-ups but can park the trailer in a way that you forget your at a campsit and just enjoy the views

Nice park, pricey, dry camp on lake with water $65.00 and $85.00 for full hook ups but shoved into one area with some lake views. The great thing that rang my bell was the camp host, Bill, who actually came to every site and introduced himself to everyone and instead of running down a bunch of rules he just asked what ever you may need or concern let him know, and with a smile when thru the camp ground 5 stars!

This is always my go to for camping. Now ill be using this app to tell others, just as long as this app does good.😎

Have been coming up here over summer for the past couple years. Cool place, love fishing out here and spending time with family.

Nice sites with connections surrounding pretty lake.

We had such a great time at Lake Hemet Campground! The staff are so helpful and friendly and really wanted to make sure we had the best time. The views are just amazing and the lake is beautiful!

We Stayed at the Premium Full Hook Up campsite called “Bear Camp” spot 340.

Highly recommend the premium hook up sites, great views of the lake even though the water level was low. Site is clean and fellow campers were polite. Every campsite had a fire pit which was nice.

Hemet Lake itself is beautiful and the view while fishing was amazing. I was able to catch one trout during our four night stay..good eatin lol.

The small market had any essentials you may need. Hand scooped ice cream was pretty good..great for the kids.

Weather was cold and windy but not too bad. Bring insulation for your water hose or have some type of method that will keep your water lines from freezing. Our water hose froze the first night.

I definitely recommend this campsite for families and all who want to have a great time outdoors. This will definitely be a place we will visit often. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a great family weekend at this place. So beautiful staff was very friendly

This location is very nice however it’s always crowded. If you’re a friendly person who doesn’t mind mingling, you’ll love it here!!

Beautiful view. Clean campground. Extra nice staff. Restrooms clean. Quite. Only problems were bees and no shade. Had a great time.

Tried going this weekend with my husband and dog and was amazed on the amount of people camping on this site. Spaces are way to close together, with very little shade from trees. After learning that there is no access to the lake for swimming due to algae and other safety reasons and no spaces were open even after we paid we decided to leave. Site lists that the alega is harmful to humans and dogs, this should be a red flag.

Location did have tables, fire pits and other activities like volleyball, basketball and frisbee golf. It’s a park where you should picnic.

We were in squirrel camp which is on a peninsula, we were surrounded by water it was nice. Only complaint super close to your neighbors! Your neighbors sewer line is by your front door 😂🤷🏻‍♀️.. coming back for sure!

Where Kim and the girls took their daughters to camp in tents, make a fire went boating

Great views, nice and helpful employee's. Convenient little store at entry. Checked out the new cabins back in fall 2018 and was very pleased with cleanliness and access, happy to say we have reservations for the cabins again for the end of the month!

We had the best time here! The lake with all the blow up toys was a blast! The section we were in only had a volt potty but there were showers there in another section. Every site has a picnic table and fire ring. We rented a boat and went out on the lake to do some fishing. We didn’t catch anything but we did see some bald eagles which was super cool!

Campsites arent the biggest, and fairly close together. Lake is easy to get to from anywhere. Rental boats on the lake. Free showers, and good bathrooms.
