Lake Perris State Recreation Area

the temps were soaring but the lake is beautiful and one of the only ones you can swim in.  the campsites are basic but amenities are great and clean.  there are some trees to help fend off the sun but if you plan to go in the summer, make sure to get in the water.  they no longer have the inflatable water park but it was fun while it lasted.  the lake allows boating, kayaks, paddle boarding and fishing but due to the drought the water is pretty low right now.  

hot!

Clean campsites, clean showers &amp; toilets. Lots of biking &amp; hiking trails. Primitive camping &amp; RV camping. I’m normally a tent camper but this time I chose to stay at a campsite with water &amp; electricity 😁

Veterans Day weekend

Plenty of sites and activities including fishing, swimming, kayaking. Short drive to the Ya'i Heki' Regional Indian Museum in the park. Great camp store with everything you may have forgotten. Clean facilities.

Perris SRA 

We loved lake Perris. There was a little shop and a beautiful fishing area. We’re took our dogs swimming and had the most fun. I can’t wait to go back. It was just so much fun.

Really beautiful 

 This campground is great! It is right next to the lake which has a swimming area, bike path, climbing area, Hiking trails, along with a camp store which has boat rentals and much more!  There is also a museum off the entrance road to the lake. The Perris Auto Speedway is also very close to the campground. They have full hookup, partial hookup, and tent camping sites. Many of the sites have shade trees but some are exposed and can get hot during the summer.

Great local campground with Fun Amenities

I like to call camping at lake Perris city camping because there can be so many people there on the weekend it’s crazy! Loud music, loud people... But don’t get me wrong my family and I have a great time while there. We just know what to expect. 
The amount of people camping can drastically change from weekend to weekend, I’m thinking not as many people go when it’s over 90°. But with the lake it’s definitely doable in the heat.
My hubby and I have an almost 8 year old and an almost 2 year old. We love Lake Perris camping because it’s close to home, there is always availability and it’s a quick and easy way to get a break from adulting! 
The photos I have posted are from 6/29-6/30/19 It was not crowded this weekend. But we were there just one weekend before and it was Packed! The weather was also about 15° hotter the second weekend.


City camping! 

Nice and quite place to take a break and relax near the shore line. Very open large camp sites. Hook ups or tent camping available. 

Nice lake close to home

Visited in July during the week. 
Site had a few neighbors but nothing close to being full. Temperatures reached low 90s but there was always a nice breeze. Find a site with good trees. Super close to bathrooms with flushed toilets and hot water... no coins necessary! They are surprisingly very clean and well kept. You always see the grounds men cleaning and refreshing. Lake is a long walk or short drive (your camping reservation covers lake use and parking). Very quiet and a perfect site for just hanging and spending time with the fam. Highly recommend. 

Outstanding camping so close to home! 

Beautiful. Clean. Quiet. Got to pick our spot. Lots of shade. Restroom/showers clean close. Fishing. Boats. Staff friendly. Price was good. Great time. Problems were ants tiny red ones everywhere. Raccoons got into everything made a huge mess.

Great Camping

My family and I enjoy coming here. We live close by and take out travel trailer there . We love it the sites are great and the staff is very helpful

Love this place

Lake Perris was a fun and clean place to camp at! We did some fishing, bike riding, the water was clear, and my kids loved it. There is a cool museum were the amazing staff provided us with interesting history about the lake and Indian tribes. Such a fun and peaceful place to hangout at! 

Perfect weekend getaway !

Reserved 2 days at Lake Perris SRA looking forward to a relaxing RV experience.  RV site 293 stated E/W/S... The sewer was not at the site.  When we made the ascent into Lake Perris, the view of the lake was beautiful.  I was relieved because i wasn't sure what to expect.  As we veered away from the lake and to the RV camp area, we had to wait in a long line to enter which I expected.  The young check-in staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but they were courteous.  Once checked in, we started to realize that the "RV spots" were parking lot stalls!  I have never been to an RV park where the spot was LITERALLY a parking spot.  I was shocked.  

  

I was able to BARELY back in (I have A 20' Travel trailer) and there were cars parked everywhere and trailers parked VERY close to each other.  There were HUGE tranvel trailers parked not just in the parking stall but up and over the stall because of the size of their trailer.

  

Reluctantly, we set up the water and electric... and unhooked as we were there for a softball tournament.  When we returned at 8pm, there were MANY adults and children.

Everyone was loud with music and talking until 2am!  Sigh!  There were NO staff in site to enforce quiet hours.  It was a friday night so I was not going to be unreasonable but 2am was WAY too late.  There were people sleeping in open vans.  

  

I do understand that this was a June-Summer weekend but EVERYTHING about this site was NOT what i was expecting.

  

The next morning, we packed up and asked for a refund.  I told them that this was the worst RV location that I have ever been.  The young lady did not question my experience and refunded my money for the second night.

  

I booked a night at the Golden Village Palms RV resort in Hemet.  Fortunately, they had availability and the entire experience and RV space was perfect.

  

If you want a party-party all night atmosphere with adults and children running around and in a parking lot, this location is for you.  It definitely wasn't for us!

Packed Parking Lot RV Space

The Lake experience was awesome. The missus and I brought our kayak and enjoyed the time on the lake staying behind the 5mph buoys. The sandy beaches for the day use  swimmers was nice too. 

We stayed at the campground on a Friday night and reserved one of the outer spots of the loop (spot 375). It was nice to have the unobstructed view looking out from the campground. We had a firepit, picnic table (aged to where we wouldn't sit on it without splinters), and the spot was paved with a concrete area for tables and chairs. 

Many other guests came to the lake campground to party. While we are mostly night owls and didn't mind, many campers on The Dyrt won't like this. 

Nice park with partiers

It was insane… Pop that coochie and some other explicit remarks are being blasted to the highest decibel while trying to tell a story to your 7 and 9 year old. Restrooms are vile and the showers did not work. 

Club Perris 

It's super windy during red flag warning but because of their well developed facility, we still allow to use fire pit. 

Camp during red flag warning 

Overall good experience in the off season where half of the loops/sites seemed to be closed off. Paved full hookup sites right next to each other but quiet neighbors. Campground is just 5minutes from busy town. Excellent bike path around the entire lake is a must try &amp; no boat rentals at this time. -Spot 107; right behind the check-in building is good but there’s better spots

Review 

Great campsite! We loved it! Short walk/drive to the lake which was also very nice for my son! 

Lake Perris 2022

Great overall experience, campgrounds are general and basic . A little more irrigation for the plants and trees mite not hurt to green up a little dried 

My 7 year olds first camping trip 

Quick turnaround camp trip. Wasn't expecting too much but really liked the places I visited while I was there. Gonna plan another trip and get in the lake next time. Restroom and shower area were better than I thought it would be so I didn't have to pitch the privacy tent.

Solo Camp Trip

The campground itself is pretty nice.  Theres flush toilets and hot showers (not tokens needed.)  The camp sites are not close together, which is nice.  You can bike to the water pretty easily, and there’s a marina store with food trucks.  The reason I gave it only three stars is the lack of rangers.  Each time I’ve stayed, there was a large group of people blasting their music until 2/3 AM.  It was awful.  This is a large campground. They really need a ranger in the day and night to keep things enjoyable.   We couldn’t even enjoy our dinner or even hear our own music because their music was so loud.
