A slice of heaven
The wife and I visited here in November and we still talk about it. Mostly because of how cold it was at night, and how sick we got. We weren't as prepared to deal with the lower temperatures as we are now. With that being said, this was my only complaint for the 3 day trip. Take note we stayed here in 2008.
First off, the showers on site were great. I don't remember having to pay much of anything to use them. The site itself was a dirt base with little grass. The big plus was the pine needles laying around became very useful for building a fire. There are also nearby water spigots for your water needs. For the summertime there are plenty of trees in this campground.
As for the overall housekeeping of the campground, I don't think they can do much better. This campsite is fairly well known and gets its fair share of people traffic year round. The grounds aren't far from Big Bear or Fawnskin so you have options to go shopping or for a nice dinner at least once or twice. In my opinion I think Subway will always be my favorite because it fills you up for quite a while. On the other hand, the sizzler in town isn't all that bad either.
The area offers some great hiking and views, but I think the lake tour was probably my favorite because of how many movie stars and celebrities have houses along the lake shore.
I believe anyone wanting to stay at Serrano will have a nice relaxing time, even if the fishing doesn't measure up when you want it to. I never had any luck shore fishing FYI.
