  Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort

  Nice weekend get away

  This campground is part of the “Thousand Trails” RV time share co-op. We are non-members and lined up our weekend stay a few weeks in advance. If we didn’t get reservations in advance there was no chance of getting a spot. All 500+ sites were booked solid (late April - early May). We live in Orange County and tried this spot for a quick out of town trip. We didn’t hit the road till late., so We showed up at dusk. The major downside to this park is they don’t assign any of the sites. It’s based off a “First come, first serve” the problem with showing up late is we spent 45mins driving around this large RV park trying to find and open site. We ended up in the sites that were electrical only, all of the other 495 sites are full hook ups.

  The sites are large and will fit most large 5th wheels and diesel pusher motor homes. Some sites have 50 amp but not all.

  Two pools, club house, general store (closed b/c of covid) tons of mature trees for shade. BBQ stations at most sites, tons of water foul playing around and honking all night long.

  Shady Lane RV Camp

  Clean Quiet & Safe

  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.

  Anaheim RV Park - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

  Disney Camping - Clean, Pool, Very Nice Restrooms/Showers

  Anaheim RV Resort is close to Disney and is on the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) bus route. They have full hook up sites and room for large rigs - back-in and pull through. They are very pet friendly and even have a dog walking/feeding service (for an extra fee). There is a small pool and hot tub. The restrooms/showers and newly remodeled and very nice! Sites are all level and fairly large. We've stayed here 4 times and will be back again!

  Desert Springs Spa RV Park

  Relax in chillville

  Don't get my wrong, the hot tub is hot! But this place is chill. Checking in was easy and my RV hookup spot was in an appealing pull-through with well-lit roads at night and natural plants and rocks ornamenting (and anchoring) the space.

  My days consisted of a morning soak in the mineral hot spring pool (one small hot tub AND one large, cooler pool) next to the community center. Then I would head into Palm Springs for lunch (~20 min drive). Then of course an evening soak before my bedtime rituals.

  The is mostly a long-term and/or elderly residential community so there's not a lot of new people coming in or out, though the gate sees a moderate amount of traffic.

  The community is gated which is a nice feature, though you're in the middle of a desert basically so there's not much to be concerned about.

  There is laundry onsite (I didn't use) but no store if you're looking for toiletries or something. The gas station is about a mile away but there's a closer convenience/liquor store at the end of the road.

  Also, I will try to rectify this with the Dyrt but this profile has two phone numbers and the reservations line is actually to a different park about an hour away. If this happens to you when trying to check-in and get the gate code, just call the other number and you'll be fine.

  I only docked them the one star because everything is pretty dated. It's not like a new resort with many amenities, but is appealing for it's location and mineral pools.

  Happy camping!

  Bonita Ranch Campground

  Best Deal in SoCal for more than just the price!!

  To set the scene for you, I was in desprate need of a new home for myself, my Great Dane Laya and my 35 foot, 1969 Buffalo Bus Conversion when I found this little "Diamond in the rough" campground. You see, 90% of campgrounds and RV Parks in SoCal have a 10 to 15 year old limit to help keep out the trashy trailers and the riff-raff that usually inhabits them. (I know how that sounded and I dont care cause the truth hurts) And even though my Coach is beautiful, she is still 50+ years old and so far no one has been willing to break that rule for us. So after calling what seemed like 50 places, I phoned this one and was greeted by the onsite assistant manager named Joe. He told me that they limit the number of long-term wimter renters to 16 and only had a couple spots left. He then went over the park ammenities, and also listed off what there was to do in the area, and when he got to the price I was blown away. He stated their daily rate was $33, and the monthly rent was only $610, and to move in all that was due was the 1st months rent and it was pro-rated! I was currently paying $70+ per day at the RV Park at Pudding Stone lake where the staff are rude, heartless Natzi's that act like they own the park! TBC....

  Mojave River Forks Regional Park

  Desert Camping

  This is a fairly nice place to camp. I would avoid camping here during the summer since it does get very hot. It is closed during the winter months, but you can still catch some cooler weather when it first opens during the season.

  There is not much for shade in the areas for RV/Trailer camping.

  Not much to do here other than hiking and kicking back. The Pacific Crest Trail passes nearby.

  It is away from the populated cities, but not far from them. It still gives you a sense of seclusion.

  There is water and electricity hookups, along with a dump station and separate tent camp spaces.

  Bonita Ranch Campground

  Just ok overall

  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.

  Great campground

  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.

  Mojave Narrows Regional Park - CLOSED TIL FURTHER NOTICE

  Could be better, like it once was

  Been here many times since it is local to me.

  This place has changed a lot over the years, and not necessarily for the good, in my opinion.

  What there is:

  • Trailer camping
  • Tent camping
  • Fishing
  • A playground
  • Small water park
  • Two lakes to fish at
  • Trains, lots of them
  • Bathrooms with showers
  • Frisbee golf
  • Picnic tables and shelters

  What there is no longer:

  • Paddle boats
  • Horse riding stables
  • Horses and cows
  • Other interesting animals
  • Water in the grass fields where the animals roamed
  • Arenas

  Beware of skunks and loud trains!

  It is still a somewhat nice place to visit for a couple hours with the kids.

  We have camped in a tent. The tents sites are adjacent to the lake.

  Trailer camping isn't too bad, other than being adjacent to the busy railroad. Most sites have grass.

  Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort

  Good Family Fun!

  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. Big spots with room to set up, but this place is booked and it’s mid week late September. Definitely my favorite Thousand Trails so far… lots of long timers/ leased sites on the other side of the park. Friendly staff and overall friendly neighbors too!

  Shady Lane RV Camp

  Dump use is for park guests only

  We stopped here to use their dump and fill our water tanks, and were directed to the Flying J south of town. The staff person told me that all the RV parks in this area operate this way, so just a heads up! 

  As described in previous reviews, this park is pretty run down but seems to be an interesting place. Weird cars and a big dinosaur sculpture out near the main road, a phone booth near the restroom marked as “time machine,” random clutter and items throughout. 

  Observed a mixed recycling bin at this park. 

  Saw a sign for a Good Sam discount. 

  There isn’t much around in this area of town, so stop for groceries and supplies before you arrive.

  Thousand Trails Idyllwild

  Big, sprawling campground close to town

  We stayed at the Idyllwild RV Resort over Labor Day weekend 2020 and we had a great time. The campground is big with lots of different spaces dedicated to cabins, RV's, tents etc so nothing feels too cramped or noisy. Plus, there are a lot of open spaces in the campground and some small trails with cool views and lots of amenities. The good news is even with it being an "RV Resort" our camping area still had lots of wooded area and it never felt too chaotic or crazy. We didn't get to take advantage of all of the amenities due to COVID, but it was nice to have the little market and cafe. It is also close to Idyllwild but far enough away from the town, unlike a lot of the other campgrounds we saw in the area which were really close to roads and lots of other people. Bathrooms were nice (although a little far away from some of the spots) and well-kept. The tent sites are fairly spacious - NO WOOD FIRES HERE - with room for our car and tent and their provided picnic table, although some of the sites are a bit close together. Overall, a good experience and a place we would definitely come back to.

  Thousand Trails Idyllwild

  Rustic and dirt at 6000 -7000 FASL

  Limited FHU sites one is extremely lucky to find one available. Honey wagon is $25.00 per dump. 50 year old buildings in need of repairs as well as the electric wires ( OLD aluminum) bathrooms are old and drain covers are loose ( hazardous situation if barefooted in shower) informed maintenance and for 2 months nothing was fixed. The reason it got 3 stars ⭐️ is its location being up in the mountains ⛰ in a state forest is a nice place to relax unwind and get away from the rat race. If your a member of thousand trails this is an affordable park ( free ). If your a retail customer it is a little pricey even tent 🏕 camping is $50 -$60 a night. Then again in 2021 what isn’t expensive?

  Excellent experience!

  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.

  Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort

  If you need a place to stay

  This is a Thousand Trails/Encore campground. Which isn’t a bad thing, but, they do need to upgrade the electrical system. 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. Now don’t get me wrong, we have been there 5 times in the last 2 years and will go some more, especially with the grandkids, but we have never been able to get in a 50amp site. There are a lot of positives at Wilderness Lakes, like, you feel like your in the wilderness, lots of shade, 2 nice big pools, store, snack shack, propane and more. If you’re a 30amp rig, you’ll love it here, need 50amp as long as you don’t need both A/C’s you’ll love it too.

  Military Park Barstow Marine Corps Logistics Base Oasis RV Park

  Facility is excellent condition

  A previous reviewer noted this is a military only facility. That is correct. I.D. is required to get on base. Once that is done the office is in building 185 and check is is super easy. The pads are new concrete and level. There are a few trees along the back of the RV pads. Full hookups and apparently the base WiFi is available by renting a router for the night, but our cell phones (Verizon) have 4 bars of service. The parking lot is gravel. Which is the norm in the south west with less than 5 inches of rain a year. At $35/ night with full hook up, this is a go to again place! The office staff was extremely helpful too.

  Bonelli Bluffs

  Nice spot just outside the city

  This place is huge. There are multiple sections to the campground. Views are better from the top portion of the campground. Tons of grassy areas for kids and pets to play. 2 pools, very basic square shaped, no jacuzzis and not many patio furniture to sit at around pool. Very quiet and the majority of spots are good size. They do have a number of long term residents at this park which can turn some people off. They are in process of trying to make this place more of a resort. They need more activities for the kids, not much. You can easily walk to puddingstone lake and fish or swim when the season is here. Overall, nice and not too expensive.

  Holloway's Marina & RV Park

  Tight but great location

  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.

  Desert Springs Camping & RV Park

  We were driving and needed a place to stop. We were lucky to find Desert Springs. We arrived 5 mins after calling. We had full hook-ups (including cable!) and a great nights sleep.
