Bonelli Bluffs RV Resort houses upscale glamping accommodations with scenic views of Puddingstone Lake in San Dimas, just a short drive from Baldwin Park. Safari-style canvas tents and yurts serve as top-rated glamping campsites with full hookups, comfortable beds, and resort amenities including two swimming pools, shower facilities, and on-site laundry. The well-maintained grounds feature spacious sites with grassy areas perfect for relaxation. Little Pine Campground also offers glamping options in a more natural setting with picnic tables and fire rings for evening gatherings under the stars. "We had an amazing time at Bonelli Bluffs! The views around the outskirts of B loop are just lovely, and our glamping tent offered the perfect balance of outdoor adventure with indoor comfort."
Hiking and biking trails wind through both properties, offering glamping guests opportunities to explore the surrounding nature while still enjoying modern conveniences. At Bonelli Bluffs, lakefront sites provide direct access to water activities including fishing, kayaking, and swimming during warmer months. The proximity to urban amenities makes these glamping destinations particularly appealing for those seeking outdoor experiences without venturing far from civilization. According to a recent visitor, "Beautiful views if the lake during the day and the city at night." Wildlife viewing adds another dimension to the experience, with several guests reporting sightings of local fauna including coyotes during their glamping stays. For those seeking unique accommodations, these canvas and wood structures represent an elevated camping experience with the comforts of home in a picturesque Southern California setting.

"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."
"Fun little campground with decent facilities and beautiful surroundings. Lots of trails all around with a nice hike of about 1/2 mile up to Millard Falls that is easy for kids and grown ups."
"Nice bathrooms and hot showers with laundry on location. Good amount of space between sites. Very short drive or 20ish minute walk to Disneyland. Extremely helpful and kind staff."

"This campground has pit toilets and no running water. If you are in LA and looking for the back-country feel without a long drive, this is just a 3 mile hike or ride up the canyon from Altadena."
"There's no running water but the creek is usually running so bring something to treat the water."
"We stayed on site 15, with a great view. Fire pit came in handy with a cooking grate and parking spaces are large enough for a small RV."

from $20 / night
"Although you are packed in pretty tightly like sardines it's a friendly environment very welcoming just the larger of your RV is little bit harder it might be to park they do offer full hookups they have"

"Great location - especially for southern CA where so much of the camping/backpacking is scrubby and in the sun, etc. Most of this trail is under cover, beautiful and well maintained."

"Love this little campsite close to home! Clean. Organized and just felt safe....so close to home and the rustic feel of it was just enjoyable for our family"

ScoutBeautiful spot on seal Beach naval weapons command base. A bit pricey, but has showers and free laundry facilities seems to be on the flight path to John Wayne Airport beautiful grounds must have a DBIDS card to get in and out of base if not military.
TravelerNice spot with great hiking. Limited facilities. No hookups. $1 for 2 minute shower (tokens).
TravelerThey speak so highly of Dockweiler RV Park, but they forget to say that it has no WiFi, and poor cell phone reception as well. I reserved a space, they made me pay in advance for the whole 3 weeks. They helped me park the camper… avd they never said anything about no wifi. I feel the rv site has been misrepresented. “Oh, well, wifi works in the office, but not even 5 spaces away”. I live alone in my RV. No wifi means I’m sitting here alone in a dead RV. Lonely. Everyone has wifi, yet they don’t mention they don’t , nor even cell phone reception, usually. I get only 1 bar
ScoutIt was a nice place and the people were nice. I checked with the staff on day one if their water was potable. They confirmed everything is potable. My dog had explosive diarrhea day 1 and by the time I got home I had fever and diarrhea. It’s been a rough ride ever since. My dog and I did not share food. We only used the tap as a water source. My husband ate all of our food any only drank store bought drinks. No water. He’s fine. Just me and the dog riding it out. Don’t learn my lesson the hard way. Bring your own water and enjoy it.
GuideSome of the campground seems very nice and some is the exact opposite. Pool is very nice and HUGE. But, there are entire sections of this campground that have just faded into non-existent. The bathrooms aren’t great. There are a lot of stationary campers(or what looks to be…) which isn’t really our favorite site to see. But, it was included with our membership and we aren’t going to leave to go pay for somewhere else.
Scoutdon’t try to reach out to this park via phone with any questions, they won’t answer you. they won’t even answer the phone when their own reservation agents are calling them. gates close strictly at 10 so if you’re camping here make sure to show up by then. showed up at 9:58 after leaving a music festival early to make sure i made it on time, and their staff was immensely rude to me about not making it on time. the morning staff is incredibly nice, apologizing for the problems and giving me advice. the night staff though has a problem and they take it out on their visitors. for how rude they were to me, somehow the campsite across from me showed up at 11pm, so seems like they pick and choose who to give problems. avoid camping here. campsites are very close together and nothing special.
TravelerBeautiful, well maintenance, great experience. So clean.
LegendGeneral: Two sections: RV camping and dry camping
Site Quality: If you have a larger RV and/or need hookups, you will be in a parking space with ZERO privacy between spaces (it is literally a parking space!). If you have a small RV or van conversion (smaller than 19 feet), there is dry camping. Concrete driveway; minimal privacy but a direct view of the beach. You must have a bed, dinette, sink, and small water supply to be in these spots. A concrete picnic table is included in each site.
Bath/Shower: Six-digit codes (that change regularly) needed to enter (and a different one for each bathroom). One all-in-one with a sink, toilet, urinal, and diaper changing station. The other has two shower stalls, two toilets, and one sink. The shower in the one closest to the dry camping area left much to be desired. I couldn’t get the ADA-accessible shower to work, and the other one had a push-button flow that took some time to get warm and had to be repeatedly pushed to complete the shower. Hooks and bench are outside the shower stall, compromising privacy. My biggest disappointment, however, was that there were NO electrical outlets. I took a chance and walked to the other end of the campground (by the entrance and full hookup sites) where I discovered the bathroom was much nicer. Not only did it have electrical outlets, but it looked like the showers were much nicer.
Activities/Amenities: You are right on the beach! There is a paved path for walking, running, or bicycling. Laundry was temporarily out of order when we were there.
There are very limited options for camping in this area, and the price was $55/night for dry camping. You are in the direct flight path of LAX, so have earplugs at the ready if the sound of jet planes overhead is not your thing!
ScoutGreat hikes all around and close to beaches and city. Good sites were 26, 7, 49.

Hiking trails with waterfall views: West Fork Trail Campground features a creek-side path to a small waterfall that's accessible for various skill levels.

Family-friendly pool facilities: Several campgrounds offer swimming pools for cooling off. "We had a great time here! They have a pool. A tent area. Some spaces monumentally better than others," shares Dennis B. about his stay at Bonelli Bluffs, emphasizing the importance of site selection.
Scenic camping spots with views: Little Pine Campground delivers panoramic vistas from its elevated position. "Love this place. Makes you feel like your on top of the world... There are many sites that loop around and all have incredible views," Jessica P. remarks about this first-come, first-served campground.
Seasonal considerations: Water availability varies throughout the year at some sites. "I go in March/April so the stream has plenty of water to drink... It is a challenging hike if you have a heavy pack," explains Will B. about West Fork Trail Campground, pointing out that timing affects both comfort and resource availability.
Space limitations at some sites: Camp Williams Resort has limited RV spaces but offers creek-side tent camping. "A small rushing creek, a friendly staff, a great little Restaurant, and 3 quiet nights. We enjoyed the small location with about 3 RV sites available for overnights," notes Richard T.
Security considerations: Some campgrounds have specific safety protocols. "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," advises Mathew H. about Millard Trail Camp, reflecting local security realities.
Look for campgrounds with kid-friendly activities: Several camping areas offer dedicated children's facilities. "There was one or two water features, a big field, a close by kids park," notes Brittany N. about her experience near Bonelli Bluffs during a color run event.
Consider sites with easy hiking access: Millard Trail Campground offers short trails suitable for children. "Lots of trails all around with a nice hike of about 1/2 mile up to Millard Falls that is easy for kids and grown ups," explains Tom P., highlighting the family-friendly nature of the terrain.
Plan for privacy needs: Some glamping spots provide more separation between sites than others. "We settled on one of the 6 tent sites. Nice campground, active stream in the middle of summer," reports Jeff B., noting the limited number of sites contributes to a less crowded experience.
Size restrictions apply: Dockweiler Beach RV Park has specific limitations for different camping units. "The RV park has a hookup area and a dry camping area. The hookups are full of large rigs, very close one with another, in a parking lot style. The dry camp provides much more space, but only relatively small RVs," explains Ignasi M.
Prepare for tight navigation: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. "There are about 4-6 sites, they are somewhat haphazardly spaced on a relatively flat area with good shade. There is little or no cover between sites," notes K.B. about Millard Trail Camp, indicating the compact layout.
Consider utility requirements: Full hookups vary between sites. "A little pricey but very nice facility. All hookups 30/50 amp. Cable TV. There's a pool. A tent area. Some spaces monumentally better than others," advises Dennis B., highlighting the importance of choosing appropriate sites for equipment needs.
