Golden Village Palms RV Resort in Hemet accommodates big rigs with full hookups throughout the property. "The spaces are one of the cleanest I've seen.

Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort in Menifee remains open year-round with electric, water, and sewer hookups, though only 30-amp service is available.

    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!

    Hidden Gem

    I loved this place, this hidden gem is located in the in the middle of the city, with the feel of the outdoor. Lots of trees, biking and hiking trails, fishing area, beautiful views, very peaceful, family friendly, pet friendly, the C9 RV spot was very spacious, I also liked the A & B area. Not every site has a fire pit. Definitely coming back again.

    Pechanga RV Resort

    This Is A Resort With All Amenities

    I spent a few nights using my Passport America discount at Pechanga RV Resort. I really liked it there. This is now one of my favorite RV resorts in California except for the showers. It is clean, well-maintained, concrete, level pads, full hookups, 168 site spaces, 20-30-50 amp power, 5 luxury spaces that The park itself is clean, well-maintained, concrete, level pads, full hookups, 168 site spaces, 20-30-50 amp power, 5 luxury spaces that is fenced in with gazebo, and picnic tables. First of all, it is part of the Casino with entertainment and restaurants. This casino reminds me of the Vegas casinos and now is under construction to make it a real Vegas Style Resort. It’s going to be finished sometimes in 2017. 

    The RV resort itself has a nice heated pool, Jacuzzi, ping pong table. They also have a golf club which could be important for some. One thing I hated is the showers. The RV resort shower has a timer set to 25 seconds and the showerhead is not able to stand upright. So you basically have to hold the shower in one hand and keep pressing the timer every 25 seconds. It’s December, it’s cold in the shower, especially because the water keeps shutting off. You end up standing soaking wet putting soap on yourself in the cold. 

    I wonder if the hotel rooms have timer on the showers as well. The person who came up with this idea should take showers in there each night. It pet-friendly resort, they also have an area for dogs. If you heading to the casino, they have a shuttle service 24/7 which picks ups from and drop-offs to and from your space. You have to call a number and they are there to pick you up in minutes. 

    About the WiFi! It’s the best WiFi ever in any parks I’ve so far visited! I wasn’t even close to the main building and had a great reception. I am able to use my Roku to watch Netflix and can use my laptop as well for work. I didn’t even need my Sprint or Verizon, but both work fine. Across the street, there is a 2-mile bike/walk trail. Using this and riding around the nice neighborhoods it was a fun way to get some exercise.

    Thousand Trails Palm Springs

    Lovely TT RV Resort!!!

    The is a beautiful Thousand Trails RV Resort in Palm Springs, California! The park is large, very spacious and so clean! The gorgeous Palm trees are a little bit of a parking hazard, but they were here before we were! 😊 And besides, they are so beautiful to look at every day. The park feels like a day on beach with white sand to park on in most spaces, towering Palm trees, and brightly colored tropical flowers. What a treat in the winter! We are here in November and December and daytime high’s are in the low 80’s. The park is split in half with one side 30 amp FHU and the other half 50 amp FHU. For TT members, there is not an additional charge for 50 amp. Quite a deal! There is plenty of room to get out and walk in this park, along with a nice dog park, playground, billiards room, swimming pool and spa, horseshoes, 8 pickle ball courts, many laundry rooms and restrooms, and community recreation room. The surrounding mountains ranges are pretty amazing, too. This park is close to it all in the Palm Springs area and everything is within a short drive. Joshua Tree National Park and the Salton Sea is just over a half hour away. The Thousand Trails Palm Springs RV Resort is perfect and we will definitely be visiting again!

    Shadow Hills RV Resort

    Urban Glamping during Covid

    Shadow Hills RV Resort is a stellar urban RV resort with all the amenities. Full hookups, daily trash pickups at each site, cable tv, large level pads with privacy hedge, small dog parks scattered throughout, gated security, nice restrooms w/ showers (free). We were visiting family who were just a short bike ride away. Can be extremely windy here. Desert X environmental art installations are nearby.

    Thousand Trails Palm Springs

    Concrete Condo Camping

    A well managed, well-kept park. Plenty of 50-amp sites, which usually means BIG rigs, are all back-in. The mature date palms and tight sites makes parking and manuevering diffecult for big rigs. Very lively community; lots of people out, kid playing. Proximity to Interstate 10 and railroad tracks makes it a bit noisy. But, it's NOT too bad. Plenty of TV stations along with 5G cell service. It's not in the rules so, I believe I'm allowed to wash my rig.

    Mountain Lakes Resort

    Great family friendly place

    My wife and I have been coming up here for years. We used to use her parents fifth wheel or use a cabin but recently purchased our own travel trailer. Now we come up here with our kids and I can’t say enough about how family friendly it is.

    Pineknot

    Pineknot Campground, Big Bear Lake, Ca

    A bit challenging to locate via Google Maps... Just go up (south) Summit Blvd, when you get to the parking lot of the ski resort, veer towards the left, and just past a concrete wall, you'll see the little Pineknot Campground sign attached to an aluminium pole. The campground is very cozy, countless tall pine trees, clean bathrooms, clean sites, water from taps, no hookups, and not for big rigs. The hosts are friendly, but strict! No generators from 8 pm to 8 am, a $3000 fine if your campfire is left unattended, and no rowdy obnoxious behavior is tolerated! We appreciated the rules, and thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful, quiet, deep in the woods getaway!!


Guide to Calimesa

Calimesa area camping options range from valley locations near 2,000 feet elevation to mountain sites reaching 7,000 feet. Winter temperatures at lower elevations typically remain above freezing, while higher-elevation campgrounds experience seasonal closures due to snow. Sites in the region offer varying levels of privacy, with mountain locations generally providing more seclusion than valley RV parks.

What to do

Hiking trails access: At Keller Peak Yellow Post Campsites, campers can access the Exploration Trail which connects to the peak. "The Keller Peak Lookout was amazing. I thought it was just a tourist attraction but it's really a staffed (with volunteers) active fire lookout. Worth the trip for sure," writes Steve H.

Lake activities: Water recreation at Lake Elsinore provides options for boaters and families. "We used the campground as a base camp to spend time in LA and San Diego as well as a day in Joshua Tree National Park. 1-2 hours from everything," notes Bryan H. from Launch Pointe Recreation Destination.

Mountain biking: Several mountain sites offer trail access for cyclists. "Skypark is right across the street for mountain bikes. Lake Arrowhead is close for supplies or food," reports Bryan S., highlighting the convenience of Skypark Camp RV Resort for riders.

What campers like

Concrete pads with views: Mountain campgrounds offer scenic vistas from established sites. "Great park. It may not seem nice when you are passing through town to get in, but once you enter the gates it's beautiful. Large concrete pads, easy backing in and hooking up," Paul C. comments about Rancho Jurupa RV Park.

Private camping spots: For those seeking seclusion, mountain yellow post sites provide space. "I really dig these spots because they are well spaced out. It's right around the corner from my cabin so it's a great spot to get outside for the weekend without an epic drive," explains Lynn C. about Keller Peak.

Water features for kids: Swimming pools and splash pads offer cooling options during hot months. "Spent Spring break here with the family. Amenities are very good for young kids. Canopy Court area has easy and close access to the splash pad, the playground, a large grass area, and even the pool," shares Bryan H. about Launch Pointe Recreation Destination.

What you should know

Fire restrictions vary: Mountain fire rules change seasonally due to hazard conditions. "They have fire rings but fires are not always permitted so be sure to check with the station just at the bottom of Keller Peak road," advises Kristil C.

Weather considerations: Temperature variations can be significant between valley and mountain locations. "Weather is definitely colder than in the valley, got snow overnight in mid May. Had very bad but there at&t cell reception," shares Jillian about Keller Peak.

Campground security: Several rv campgrounds near Calimesa, California maintain security measures. "The entrance security kiosk is staffed 24/7, and they'll even help spot you while parking your rig," notes Jason M. about Golden Village Palms RV Resort in Hemet.

Tips for camping with families

Children's activities: Many Calimesa area RV parks provide dedicated facilities for younger campers. "Our kids love the pool area, grandparents love the pickleball courts, and there are always fun activities to do throughout the year," reports Jason M. about Golden Village Palms RV Resort.

Campground entertainment: Scheduled activities supplement natural recreation options at some locations. "Launch Pointe was a great stay for our family and dog! The campground was clean as can be- no overflowing garbages, all utilities tastefully hidden. The privacy fence in each spot is nice and our kids loved the playground," notes Stephen H.

Cabin alternatives: For families without camping equipment, several parks offer cabin rentals. "They have a great area of vintage trailers that can be rented, as well as some super nice yurts," explains Kellie about Launch Pointe.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven sites at some campgrounds. "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," reports Time4Dirt about Idyllwild RV Resort.

Internet connectivity: Cell service varies dramatically across the region based on elevation. "Limited internet but it had bandwidth restraints that would turn your internet off after very small amounts of data used. There was no option to upgrade so you had to use your own hotspots," explains Brian C. about Launch Pointe.

Road considerations: Higher elevation rv campgrounds near Calimesa require careful driving. "Make sure you take the back way up the mountain. It's no joke pulling a trailer up there," advises Kevin B. about navigating to Holloway's Marina.
