Fisherman's Retreat

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Fishing draws most visitors to Fisherman's Retreat, where three stocked lakes give anglers consistent action and lakeside sites put a rod's cast between your tent and the water. Membership determines the experience here: member areas run quieter, while non-member sections see more transient traffic. Full hookups accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, and the on-site general store, restaurant, and pool round out the amenities. Campers exploring camping near Calimesa will find this canyon-set property far enough from the valley floor to feel removed from city noise, with Cherry Valley Lakes available nearby for comparison. Ducks and pelicans are regular visitors on the water.

Nice For Members

Fisherman's is a nice, quiet getaway if you are a member. The members lake & camping spots are nice & quiet. Great place to relax & fish. Get a spot up against the lake. The non members lakes & camping spots can be a little ghetto. A lot of them are just travelers passing thru. So when it's early morning while all the fishing people are up and at it, they are still asleep. There's a nice little general store, restaurant and fish tournaments on Saturdays. They have a pool & a playground for the kids. It's far enough up in the canyon so you feel tucked away, far from city life but not too far that you can't run down the canyon to Walmart if you forgot something. There are 3 lakes that are stocked weekly or bi weekly. It's fun to watch the ducks & the pelicans flying around and landing & swimming on the water. All in all it's peaceful in the right location. We visit a couple times a month & it's a great getaway.
