Best RV Parks & Resorts near Apple Valley, CA

This little RV park was opened in 1977. It is nothing fancy but perfectly inperfect. You are greeted by staff and escorted to your space. Staff will assist you in plugging in if needed. They ask that you check-in after you are settled. Full hook-ups and wifi strong. They accept Good Sam. A real drive-in movie theater is across the street.

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.

This is a great campground with nearby amenities. You will hear the helicopter from time to time since the helipad is on the nearby hilltop. Can get a bit dusty. Bathrooms and showers are clean and maintained. We've been there many times. Wish they had RV hookups as we've moved from tent to trailer recently.

I wish I could give 5 stars! The staff alone deserves 10 stars! Sue and Denise are incredible! Excellent location to the village, you can ride your bike in. We stayed on the point, beautiful view of the lake. Also, boat rental right there! I do feel there could be some love and TLC put into this RV resort to give it some life. Dog owners please keep your dogs close after sunset, you are in coyote territory. We will definitely be back.

Located in Big Bear, CA. 50+ full hook-up RV sites among large forested area. Take the main road up, easy drive. Among my favorites. Bring your dogs.

Full hook ups, wonderful camp hosts, very clean bathrooms and showers

Very easy pull through site, full hook ups. Friendly welcome, very reasonable rates .Met some friendly campers. Just a great stay.

Nice and easy pull through spots full hook ups 30 and 50 beautiful place to walk by the water and enjoy the views

Reasonable price for full hook up - 40 dollars Amazing place, quiet, the ghost town was really a good surprise it s really interesting, nice hiking around. Definitely recommends

We have a 265bh transcend and parked it in a site on the water. Great views and enjoyed watching the fish jump in the evenings. The sight was a little small but made it work. Had to hang the rear of the trailer over the river bank about 8’. Not a big deal but took the rear stabilizer out of play for the weekend.

Good shade and campers were friendly. Lots of long term campers that were there for the summer.

We rented a boat on Saturday and was great just to walk out on the dock with the kids. 4 hr rental was just enough. Make reservations for they sell out on the weekends. Super easy.

Would stay here again.

Make sure you take the back way up the mountain. It’s no joke pulling a trailer up there.

I love the location of this rv resort and, although it’s not perfect for everyone, it was great for our family.

Views are incredible although to squeeze in some sites they made the access roads a bit small. I would skip if I were a big rig, or call and ask for sites that are easy to get into.

Bathrooms are incredibly clean and a combo of a toilet and shower to a room. So, no randos.

Fire pits and games for the kids.

Location across from the skypark is great for families with small kids.

Some people have commented here they wish they didn’t chop down the trees; they didn’t. There was a huge fire in this area in 2006 that destroyed the trees in this area (and took out 300 homes) - don’t dock them for it!

I showed up without a reservation. The ladies on reception were super nice and helpful, paid 70$ for a spot. Came with full hook up, Wi-Fi, very clean toilets & showers (open to public, showers are 0.25$ for 3 mins). Lovely sunset by the marina. Nice and quiet

Well no fault of this location, we planned this trip months ago, but unfortunately the ambient temps soared. Two huge AC units could only manage about a 20 degree reduction in 110 degree heatwave. Recommend this as a winter, early spring or late fall. OHV pull through site accommodated my 45 foot 5th wheel no problem. Upper campsite has full hook ups for small rigs but there is no cell service at upper camp. Aside from weather advisory, this is a spot I can see us coming back to during appropriate season ☀️🔥🔥🔥

Hard to review this place objectively. We had a bad experience. Note this place DOES NOT accept walk-ins (you must have a res). Well we didn’t realize this and found ourselves in a bind later at night. Called the number from google and a guy answered. We explained our situation and asked if we could choose an open spot (there were many) and pay in the morning. He was very considerate and agreed. We had the most FRIENDLY neighbors. Many longer term stays. People were clearly enjoying themselves here. went to sleep and immediately went to front desk to pay in the morning. The woman at the front desk was incredibly mean and downright aggressive telling me we were NOT welcome and that we broke the rules. She kept lecturing even after I said I just wanted to just pay for our stay and leave. While I paid she continued to spew anger. Thanks to her we’ll never be back. They should have had more signage that said walks ins were not welcome. We would not have bothered calling. This place is right on the lake though and it’s beautiful and had all the standard RV hookups.

This is a great BLM campground, FREE, individual sites with varying levels of privacy and levelness, no reservations. Each site has a shade structure, table, fire pit, and grill. There are pit toilets but no other amenities. No water and no trash service- please pack your trash out! We had to pick up after some other campers which is just so dumb to have to do. There was a camper there who looked like they had set up for long term residency, and the sheriff came by and kicked them out.

This is also a big rock climbing destination so you’ll have climbers coming in for the day as well. There are some “dispersed” type sites in the brush area so if you show up and all the spots are taken, you can sleep in one of those spots in a pinch until morning. We were there in late December and there were only a couple of other campers, and then again in early January and it was busy on weekends but quiets down during the week. 

The road coming in is 1.6 miles of washboard and some big dips, but it’s doable. Cell service is very spotty throughout the campground. Parts of decent ATT or Verizon service, and parts have zero. Lots of hikes and trails and places to walk and scramble.

This rv park is horrible! It’s run down. There is trash everywhere. There are huge potholes all over the park. Not only are the sites small, but they are so uneven I couldn’t even level out my rv. They have a tree literally overhanging the entrance that damaged my rv . The idiot that manages the park never even lifted a finger to help, and his bosses won’t even answer or return my calls. I’d advise anyone to stay far away from this dump.
