TravelerCamp site is in walking distance of Idyllwild. Has has a couple of sites with electric hookups. Bathrooms are clean, showers need a token for $1. Being close to the road makes it noisy during the daytime .
TravelerStockton flats yellow post sights 1-8 can be driven easily in any 2wd vehicle with moderate clearance. I took my f250 service body truck to site#6 or im assuming its #6. Sites are not label. Trail Roads got washed and i wasnt able to continue further to verify. If you’re afraid of clearance issues stick to sites 1 & 2. At the time of going, 3,4 & 5 looked like perfect sights to stay, other sites were rough and a rake would be needed minimum to make it comfortable. #9 currently requires minor upgrades to reach the campground. A stock jeep with oversized tires could easily get to that location as of 8-29-2026
TravelerGood campground, quiet, not crowded during the week. Too much trash around some sites, though, on a Monday (doesn’t look like new trash). Bathrooms were clean, but basic. Evening bike ride was fantastic, but the trail is not well kept up (rough or crumbling in many spots) and is steep enough to require an electric bike in several parts unless you are good with an 8-9% grade. Park is quiet during the day, with a lot of amenities.
Tons of ants. Active gnats and mosquitoes at dusk and dawn.
Temperatures were quite warm in mid August. Glad we had an RV with AC.
TravelerThis is a great campground if you were at the beach all day and then wanted to drive 10 min to your campsite. That’s how I use this campground. I go for the day at San Clemente pier and then later on drive 10 min to my campsite. It’s perfect. There is a trail to the ocean from the campground but I ain’t walking that. Site has power and water spigot, next to trashcan. Shade in the afternoon.
TravelerGreat site, stayed at 101. Bathrooms weren’t too far away. Good privacy. Water spigot nearby. Can fit a small and medium tent. I van camped.
LegendFeel far away without the long drive. Loved this campground for the serenity! The trees were stunning, campsites were good, bathrooms had toilet paper.
Sites all have a slant due to the location. Everysite seems to offer something different; more or less shade, walk length from the car, space etc. I took photos of all the sites and tried to represent the distance/location of the site vs parking. Sites 1-7 and 19-21 are all around the first restroom. Sites 13 and 16 and kinda 17 are around the second restroom.
If you just like some simple sites that are in a nice loop with some hills and old trees, you will enjoy this campground.
We stayed August 21-23 and the water was off, bathrooms were open. No campfire, stoves/gas only!
TravelerThis site is close to the retreat camp, so loud basketball games start early in the morning. Additionally, most showers are out of order, and the working ones require specific tokens
Travelerit was amazing used this app to find this road in big bear first time camping went amazing i would definitely recommend 10/10 highly recommend
ScoutThere are 9 camping sites and some others to spend the day. Spectacular view. Con: Too windy at the top of the mountain on sites 8 & 9
