    Bonita Ranch Campground

    It’s okay 😐

    Pros: campground is very short walk to Lytle Creek. Also close to the trail for a hike to Bonita Falls.

    Cons: Not enough bathroom facilities for the amount of campsites. Women’s restrooms had only two stalls, constantly a long line. Also quiet hours are not enforced.

    Bring cash if you want to rent a fire pit. Sites do not have their own fire rings and you must rent one.

    Millard Trail Campground

    Great campground for hiking/biking

    Cool drive to get to the campground. You drive up and down these hilly roads up the mountain to get there. Once there, there's a parking lot that fits about 20 cars. There's about 100 yd hike to the campsites. There's a road that leads to the campsite but it's been blocked off. Only the campsite managers use that road so it's not accessible by RV, just tents. A campsite manager stays in a little trailer overnight so if there's any problems there's somebody there you can go to and ask for help. There's about six campsites and their first come first serve, no reservations. I went during the week and was the only one camping. This place is heavily used for day camping and hiking. There's not a lot of privacy because there's always lots of people passing by who are hiking and biking. You can stay overnight which I did and everything was fine but there's not a lot of privacy. The next day as I was leaving there was another guy sitting up his tent. I bet on the weekends they can fill up pretty fast. It's in Bear country so they provide food storage for each campsite also trash containers too. Each side has a picnic bench and a fire pit. The fire ban has been lifted so you can have a fire. Each fire pit had wood left at it so you didn't have to go searching for campfirewood. Bathrooms included male and female toilets but no showers or water. There's a creek that runs through the campground which makes it very pretty. I saw two to three cabins along the outskirts of the campground that I assume were for rentals. There was one family at one of the cabins the night I stayed. About a 20 minute hike and you can end up at a waterfall which is very pretty. But there are several trails to take for hiking and biking and I saw lots of people doing that. Overall a good campsite four stars. Would have been five stars if they had showers and running water. I didn't see any bears although there was an animal outside my tent at one point in the night I could hear him nosing around. So it's important to keep all of your food and anything with any kind of smell in the bear boxes

    A "resort"? No. A campground? Yes.

    Very large park for RV, cabin and tent camping. As it's listed as a "resort", we figured it would be pretty upscale. Disappointment upon our arrival. Floods have been in the area and much of the sites were closed and being cleaned?? The road closest to our site was washed away (from earlier reviews it's been months), so a long jog or drive around the perimeter to get us to the pool, laundry and hot tub…speaking of which, the pool, hot tub and laundry facilities all needed attention. You could actually see people's footprints (bottom of pool and on pool and hot tub entry steps)…that much sand, dirt, etc…I didn't venture in. When we arrived, we started driving around to find the best site for our rig. We're a 32ft class A w/20ft enclosed cargo trailer tow. So, all in all about 55ft. Well, that wasn't easy. Most of the park's electric and some sewer connections didn't exist or were "down" for repair. We have yet to actually SEE someone working on these issues. We are currently here and checked in for a two-week stay. After some boon docking prior to our arrival, we wanted all the bells and whistles the park boasted they had. Took us just over THREE HOURS to find a decent spot. Many levels to this park and most didn't have a decent WiFi (we have our own router) signal. Some sites had dumpsters blocking them from being a true "pull-thru". That left us with about two areas to choose from. It's dusty, dirty, and, really, not ready to be called a "resort"….more rustic than we'd been looking for or what website photos showed. We would not recommend this "resort" to anyone. Several folks with dogs they let simply sit outside and bark, poo, etc….strict rules against that, in most all resorts we've ever visited. Unless you plan on tenting, cabin or what have you, it's not worth it. Very disappointing! :(

    So many options and an amazing western Saloon with Billiards and great vibe

    This campground has So many options! great walk in secluded rustic camp sites, super social fun camp sites , secluded places to park vans and Campers, and awesome gleaming cottages. best place to sleep is on the top of the mountain infinity deck! Right next to the private Bar area which is like an  amazing western Saloon with Billiards and great vibe and Hooka Corner and some amazing Star Gazing!  The people here are super friendly and nice and there is a great social vibe for those who like to join others for some great times in nature. be it a hike, star gazing or campfire!

    Convenient but crazy

    Mind you, we went on a Saturday morning during Covid to escape our house but so many others had the same idea. First of all the gates for the campsites were locked but that didn't stop anyone from walking their stuff in, including us. Our spot was nice and had lots of shade. The only drawback was the one open vault toilet that was pretty dirty. Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go. I thought, dang I shouldn't brought my poop bucket!! If I only would've known!! Who can't pop a squat in the dark though?! It was pretty rowdy at night with someone yelling at the top of their lungs and a dog barking but hey, we were under the stars and not couped up at home or with masks on. I wasn't complaining. I love nature and I'll ignore the drunks. Other than that, there is a little store that Adam and his family run. They are great!! The brownies are bomb, so get one early. They also tent cabins up there so give them a call. Great people! It's definitely convenient and worth the effort!

    LA RV Resort at Action Camp

    First adventure out with motorhome

    This was our first trip with our new motorhome and first camping trip ever.  The staff was really friendly and accommodating.   The grounds are nice and very large.  Sites are easy to navigate and pull into, especially for a first timer.  

    The RV sites are pretty close together but the full hookups makes it really nice.  Will stay here again and they are very pet friendly which was nice.

    Don’t mind the bugs

    There are beautiful views of the mountains. Has bathrooms (no flush). Lots of Mosquitoes and bugs. Well worth it. Has a fire pit at each spot. Has picnic table, but very splintery, bring covers. Most sites have tree coverage.

    Bonita Ranch Campground

    Just ok overall

    Needed somewhere fairly close to home to take my new to us motorhome. Sites were decent size but fairly close together so don’t expect a lot of privacy. Sites interspersed among long term residents. Hookups water and electric at each site. Some shade, trails to riverbed currently mostly dry and Bonita falls about 25 minute walk over river rock. Fire rings available to rent for $5. The biggest issue I had was our electric went out to our loop at about 7:30pm…luckily we are self contained…it still had not been restored when we left the next day at noonish. The lights to the office area and restrooms was still on (thankfully) but not the camp sites.

    Crystal Lake Rec Area Campground

    Great spaces, easy trails, & close to the IE!

    We came on a Saturday afternoon, and even though 4 of the sections of camping were closed off - we found an AMAZING space in section D. It wasn’t right next to the bathrooms, but the site was spaced out enough that we had plenty of privacy. It was right next to the trail head, too!

    The lake isn’t back actually near the site, and they don’t allow for swimming. However, there is a recreational area 20 minutes down the mountain on the lake.

    It was $17 per night, and was an easy & beautiful drive up the mountain.

    Fire pit had a grill on it, too!


Guide to Acton

Cabin camping near Acton, California provides outdoor accommodation options at elevations between 2,600 and 5,000 feet in the Angeles National Forest region. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cooler winters where occasional snow accumulates at higher elevations. Most cabin rentals require advance booking, with peak reservation periods typically running from April through October.

What to do

Trail access from campsites: Bonita Ranch Campground offers direct access to hiking trails with minimal driving required. According to one visitor, "Easy access to a pretty trail right behind the campground" makes this location ideal for quick nature excursions.

Swimming opportunities: During warmer months, Valencia Travel Village provides multiple swimming options for cabin guests. A recent camper noted, "The pool is clean and rarely busy from what we have seen" and another mentioned they have "adult pool, family pool, spa and splash pool" available to guests.

Stargazing sessions: Art Farm Nature Space features exceptional night sky viewing opportunities from elevated observation areas. One camper reported, "The stars at night are the best I have seen" while another mentioned a "top of the mountain infinity deck" that provides unobstructed celestial views.

What campers like

Wildlife sightings: Crystal Lake Recreation Area offers opportunities to observe forest animals in their natural habitat. A camper documented seeing "Black bear, deer (wandered through our site), red foxes, Stellar's Jays, woodpeckers, other birds" during their stay.

Quiet weekday visits: Millard Trail Campground receives fewer visitors Monday through Thursday compared to weekends. One camper shared, "I went during the week and was the only one camping" while another noted that "they close the gate at 10 pm I believe, so the evening was nice and quiet."

Mountain views: Huttopia Paradise Springs cabins provide scenic vistas of the surrounding landscape. A recent visitor simply stated, "everything was so cozy and beautiful" when describing their cabin stay experience.

What you should know

Train noise concerns: LA RV Resort at Action Camp (formerly Acton KOA) experiences periodic railroad disturbances. A camper warned, "there's about 4 trains a night that will come by with horns blowing" while another noted trains run "even at midnight."

Limited connectivity: Cell service and internet access vary significantly across cabin rental locations. At Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon, a guest reported "No WIFI and reception for Verizon was hit or miss" and other locations mention paid WiFi services that "couldn't be shared with multiple devices."

Vehicle security: Some locations have experienced break-ins, particularly at trailhead parking areas. A Millard Trail Campground visitor advised, "Make sure to leave your car doors unlocked, and nothing of value inside. You'd rather have someone root through your car and walk away empty handed than have a window broken and items stolen."

Tips for camping with families

Age-appropriate activities: Crystal Lake Recreation Area offers family-friendly hiking trails suitable for younger children. A visitor mentioned, "There are lots of spacious camping sites, clean bathrooms, running water, numerous shade trees, and a cafe/store for all the things you forgot or for a ice cream treat on a hot day!"

Safety precautions: Families should prepare for local wildlife encounters in cabin areas. One camper advised bringing "bug spray" while another mentioned cabins positioned "in Bear country so they provide food storage for each campsite."

Educational opportunities: Art Farm Nature Space offers unique activities for children not available at other locations. A visitor highlighted they enjoyed "hiking with goats" which provides both recreation and learning experiences for younger campers.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon offers varied camping experiences depending on location within the property. One RVer advised, "Stay in the back side of the park as a rail line runs in front of the front side of the park" while another noted, "This trip we stayed down near the welcome center instead of Lot N and the experience didn't even seem like the same RV Park."

Hookup reliability: Valencia Travel Village provides dependable utility connections for cabin and RV guests. A visitor confirmed, "We had an easy pull thru site with plenty of space for our RV and truck to fit" and "Wifi worked fine for us."

Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts cabin comfort significantly throughout the year. A camper at Crystal Lake advised, "Stayed here two nights in August, it was nice and cool a good break from the heat" suggesting higher elevation locations provide relief during summer months.
