TravelerWe liked it a lot. It was our first time there and newbie camper so I didn’t pick the best spot, but it’s a great location, close to the river… I had my dog so we walked the campground quite a bit and it’s good size and I saw a lot of other sites that I would have preferred. The bathroom wasn’t terrible, typical I’d say. The woman working the front was very helpful and nice. Little store close too.
RangerBig RV resort. Stayed in Area F site 132 as part of RV tour group. All back-in sites. Septic dump opening was located on the side of light pole - had to workaround in order to dump. Public showers/restrooms are not convenient and are old and open concrete.
GuideThis is my go-to campground. I live in the San Diego area. It's designed for your season camper that prefers tranquility over business. It's not recommended during the weekend.
ScoutHas a security guard that thought she was God or something like that. Never seen anybody or place so petty on the place and still searching for the championship horseshoe pits and I can't stop talking about the dark green of the fishing lakes and the fish swimming on their sides
ScoutPlenty of room at the beach an lots of bike riding areas.cold showers are free an nice in the summer,however there are no shower curtains ,be advised this might not be for you or shower after dark,is an option .fyi .nice entry staff,restrooms cleaned daily.
TravelerBeautiful, well maintenance, great experience. So clean.
GuideI came through for an overnight on my trip down from SEKI and ultimately toward the southeastern USA. The drive in was not the most enjoyable, bumpy with 15mph hairpins, but the campground was quiet, and the showers we're VERY clean and hot... (They are push button, but you can keep pushing the button every 8 seconds (it lasts only 10 if you don't). The cleanliness of this place alone would leave it on my list of potential return stops.
GuideMostly Park Model mobile homes and permanent RV's. There's 20 spots in the back for overnight stays. There is a pool but I didn't use it.
ScoutThis campground has good amenities, more than most and quite close to shopping and dining. They offer full rv hookups and both 30 and 50 amp sites.
The San Gorgonio Pass area surrounding Beaumont, California sits at elevations ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 feet, creating a transition zone between coastal and desert climates. Summer daytime temperatures frequently exceed 100°F while winter nights can drop below freezing, requiring campers to prepare for significant temperature swings. Water conservation rules are strictly enforced at established campgrounds due to the region's drought-prone conditions.
Fishing opportunities: At Lake Hemet Campground, you can fish in stocked waters with scenic mountain backdrops. "We rented a boat and went out on the lake to do some fishing. We didn't catch anything but we did see some bald eagles which was super cool!" notes Jennifer D. from Lake Hemet Campground.
Hiking access: Marion Mountain offers direct trail connections from campground to summit routes. "This is a great place to camp if you plan to hike Mount San Jacinito via the Marion Mountain trail because the trailhead starts in the campground," explains Shannon C. from Marion Mountain.
Water activities: During summer months, Lake Skinner provides splash pads for family cooling options. "On the flip side they have a super nice splash pad park that's no additional cost! There are lots of walking trails," mentions Jennifer D.
Natural separation: Many campers appreciate the spacious sites at Marion Mountain. "Sites are nice and spacious but doesn't seem to have a whole lot of privacy. We got lucky and went on a week day were the only ones camping there," notes Shannon L.
Convenience to town: Lake Skinner Recreation Area offers proximity to services while maintaining a natural setting. "This is a great family campground right around the corner from Temecula, Murrietta, and Menifee. It has tent, partial, and full hookup sites along with a camp store, fishing, biking, bathrooms, and day use areas," writes Andy H.
Seasonal activities: Campers at Serrano enjoy the changing seasons and varying activities. "My friends and I have been camping here for New Years and other random summer/holiday weekends for about 5 years now. It's only 45min. Away from home, so we can drive back if needed for any reason as well as just a quick and peaceful get away," explains Christina R.
Fee structure: Lake Skinner has additional charges beyond camping fees. "I loved this campground but wasn't a fan of the extra fees. The charge $10 per person per day to fish in their Lake. And you can't swim or let the kids play in the lake because it's a reservoir."
Elevation considerations: Idyllwild sits at higher elevation, affecting weather patterns and breathing. "I have asthma, so nothing more strenuous for me then walking the dog in the altitude. By the beginning of the 2nd week I started getting used to it," shares Tom W. from Thousand Trails Idyllwild.
Water reliability: Water access can be limited at some campgrounds. "Marion mountain is located about 6 miles north of the town of Idyllwild and offers shaded campsites and basic car camping amenities. The campsites are fairly spaced out offering privacy to take in all nature has to offer."
Yurt camping options: While traditional yurt camping near Beaumont, California remains limited, Seven Oaks Lodge offers yurt accommodations as an alternative to tent camping. "Best place ever!! Tent camping, RV camping, they have a restaurant and bar, best burgers in all of southern California!" explains Heather D.
Pool access: Wilderness Lakes RV Resort offers swimming options for children. "We enjoyed the pool, watching the ducks in the pond, and the kids loved the basketball court. Some parts closed on certain days- store, jacuzzi, community room," notes Carolina from Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort.
Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated children's areas. "Every site has a picnic table and fire ring. We rented a boat and went out on the lake to do some fishing. We didn't catch anything but we did see some bald eagles which was super cool!"
Spacing between sites: Family campers should consider site proximity. "Big campground. Room for tents and RVs. Even cabins for rent. The only negative is the crowds for the water park area on the weekends. Don't want a spot too close," advises Sheryl B.
Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant leveling equipment. "Our Site was not level at all. We carry a lot of leveling blocks and are not even close to level still nose down with 4 2x8s and Jack at max extension. Side to side level took one board under left side."
Weather preparations: Winter camping requires specific preparations. "Weather was cold and windy but not too bad. Bring insulation for your water hose or have some type of method that will keep your water lines from freezing. Our water hose froze the first night," shares Donovan from Lake Hemet.
Hookup limitations: Electrical capacity varies significantly between campgrounds. "They don't have enough 50amp sites and not all of them are always working. This park is first come/first served and they don't prohibit a 30amp rig from taking a 50amp site, so you can see the problem."
