Best Campgrounds near Beaumont, CA

1,894 Reviews

Camping options near Beaumont, California span from established RV parks to remote forest campgrounds across a variety of elevations and ecosystems. Country Hills RV Park Resort in Beaumont offers 102 sites with full hookups for RVs, while nearby Banning Stagecoach KOA provides both tent and RV accommodations. The region includes several state and national forest campgrounds like Idyllwild Campground in Mount San Jacinto State Park and San Gorgonio Campground in the San Bernardino National Forest, where tent camping and RV sites without hookups are available.

Road conditions and campground access vary significantly with elevation and season in the Beaumont area. "We went camping right before the snow storm and it was pretty cold but still so amazing. The staff are very friendly and let us know about the coyote lurking about and the big freeze warning," noted one camper about their mountain camping experience. Most developed campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though those at higher elevations like Stone Creek Campground in Mount San Jacinto State Park typically operate only from mid-May through mid-September. Summer temperatures can exceed 100°F in lower elevations around Beaumont, while mountain campgrounds offer significantly cooler conditions. Cell service tends to be reliable at RV parks and campgrounds closer to town but becomes limited in more remote forest locations.

Many campgrounds in the area feature amenities that cater to both tent and RV campers with varying levels of development. Lake Perris State Recreation Area Campground provides lakeside camping with swimming areas and boat rentals. "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," shared one visitor. Campers seeking more solitude may prefer the Yellow Post Sites in the San Bernardino National Forest, which offer primitive camping with minimal facilities. For those wanting immediate access to trails, San Gorgonio Campground and Idyllwild Campground serve as excellent basecamps for exploring wilderness areas, with proximity to numerous hiking trails including the Pacific Crest Trail sections that pass through the region.

    Keller Peak Yellow Post Campsites

    Stunning but Safety Concerns

    I’ve camped at the Keller Peak yellow post sites more than two dozen times over the years and, at their best, they’re incredible. The scenery and isolation are superb—starry skies, quiet nights, and that deep-woods stillness that’s getting harder to find. For years this was my go-to spot. 

    Unfortunately, I’ve also watched trash and waste increase. Please, pack it out—these sites only stay special if we treat them with care. 

    My last trip was frightening enough that I haven’t returned. Late at night a group of locals came to the edge of my site, yelling and using threatening language. They assumed I was homeless despite my SUV and proper camping setup. I was using a portable propane fire pit—which is allowed—and I calmly explained that. I can understand why fire is an issue to locals.  I only felt safe because my small dog has a very loud bark, which kept them from coming closer. They said they were calling a ranger. I left the next morning, shaken. On my way out, I spoke with a park ranger who confirmed propane fire pits are permitted and told me they don’t patrol up there at night because of recurring issues like this. She also mentioned they were trying to move the site to a reservation system to deter homeless use; I’m not sure if that has happened yet. 

    It’s a shame, because this area is one of the best around. I’m sharing this so others can make an informed choice.  

    Pros - Spectacular views and true solitude Cool nights, dark skies, classic forest feel

    Cons -  Rising litter and human waste Nighttime safety concerns due to occasional rowdy visitors Limited ranger presence after dark

     I hope increased stewardship and enforcement can restore the magic here.

    Lake Henshaw Resort

    My stay review

    This place is pretty. The staff is nice and not too strict. The place can definitely need a lil tlc but for the price per dayits nothing too complain too much. The pool is cool the showers and bathroom are all functional. Wich is a good thing. I was told to pick any spot i liked wich made my stay even better. No hookups at all i had my rv/camper but that was no problem i took my generator. Place is definitely recommended if you're a not too picky person.😉

    Fry Creek Campground

    Loved it

    We absolutely loved Fry Creek. It might be our favorite place to camp so far. Our site was removed from others so we weren’t bothered by neighbors. It was a nice large site next to the bathrooms (which were very clean and well maintained) and close to a water spigot and trash can. This campground is definitely a birder’s paradise. We were constantly surrounded and graced by the sounds of woodpeckers, pigeons, mountain quail, bluebirds, jays, and more. One important note though is this entire area is swarmed with flies. We brought nets to put around our faces and without these, I don’t think I would have survived. So definitely bring nets for your face, bug spray, and citronella. Despite this, it was a lovely place. Will be returning one day.

    East Flats

    Nice Peaceful Area

    Wasn’t hard to find a little rough but fairly easy to reach with our Sedan. Couldn’t find too much to do but if you’re looking for a weekend getaway to relax it’s a nice spot.

    Giant Rock Dispersed

    Big Rock camping

    Came out to Big Rock for the meteor shower in August. Yes, it was hot, but I like the heat. We set up our two-day camp along the ridge about 300 yards past Big Rock. Verizon Cell service was non-existent at our site, but we would get 5G at the Rock.

    Other than some graffiti the area was clean and well-kept.
