Several cabin rentals exist within the foothills near Cedar Glen, including North Shore Campground and Mojave River Forks Regional Park.

Most cabin sites include picnic tables and designated parking areas. Drinking water is available at most locations, though availability varies seasonally. Some campgrounds provide shower facilities in central buildings separate from individual cabins. According to one visitor, "The sites are well spaced, good tree cover. Very nice patch of land. Quiet. Lake Arrowhead Village is 4 miles away."
While some cabins operate year-round, others close during winter months due to mountain weather conditions. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays between May and September when demand peaks.

ScoutSite is clean, many activities on weekends They also add 1000lb or catfish and trout weekly depending on season. Members were friendly. Downside is wifi when the campsite is 75+ full and only about a dozen paved spots. Major are gravel and dirt.
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
Travelervery pretty sight the mountain air is incredible. the staff is very helpful and friendly. at night the drunks go crazy and the bears steal their food.
ScoutIt was a nice place and the people were nice. I checked with the staff on day one if their water was potable. They confirmed everything is potable. My dog had explosive diarrhea day 1 and by the time I got home I had fever and diarrhea. It’s been a rough ride ever since. My dog and I did not share food. We only used the tap as a water source. My husband ate all of our food any only drank store bought drinks. No water. He’s fine. Just me and the dog riding it out. Don’t learn my lesson the hard way. Bring your own water and enjoy it.
GuideNice KOA for an overnight stop. The campground is clean, quiet, and well maintained, and the dog park was excellent—our dogs really enjoyed stretching their legs after a long drive. The only issue was the pull-through full-hookup site. The sewer connection was on the wrong (driver's) side and located near the front of the truck, so our standard sewer hose wouldn't reach. We needed about a 30-foot sewer hose to make the connection. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again. Just be prepared if you plan to use the sewer hookup in a pull-through site.
TravelerBeautiful, well maintenance, great experience. So clean.
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.
TravelerWhen I booked at the reservation site I screenshot that water and 30 amp power was available at my site. There is NO water hook up. Overall it’s good 7 out of 10. Lots to do within 2 hours of this place. Staying for 6 days.
GuideMy husband and I were just passing through, and I personally wouldn't stay there again. It was very dusty and depressing. There was a dog that had been dumped there, and I could see that the staff had been taking care of it, seemed like good people making the best of a bad area.
Camping cabins near Cedar Glen, California sit at elevations between 4,500-6,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, creating distinct seasonal camping experiences with temperature fluctuations of 30-40 degrees between day and night. Most cabin sites remain accessible year-round, though winter stays often require tire chains during snowy conditions from December through March. Several campgrounds provide varying levels of cabin amenities from rustic to full-service options.
Waterfall hiking: 20-minute drive to Bonita Falls from Bonita Ranch Campground. The moderate 1.5-mile trail leads to a 90-foot waterfall. "The creek running behind the camp is great to explore, and a waterfall is a short hike away. We also lucked out finding berries in August," notes Jonathan G.
Lakeside activities: 4-mile drive from North Shore Campground to Lake Arrowhead for fishing and water recreation. A visitor shares, "This area is so beautiful, quiet... good retreat from stress in life. Get back in touch with nature. Close to Gregory Lake Park, like 20 mins drive."
Hot springs access: Direct trail access to natural hot springs from Deep Creek Hot Springs Camp Retreat. "The deep creek hot springs were absolutely fabulous, as they were situated next to a cold creek where we could do therapeutic hot cold plunges. The hike to the hot springs was fairly tough, but we found it easily with the trail starting right on the property!" reports Jessica B.
Privacy between sites: Many cabins provide adequate spacing for privacy. At North Shore Campground, one camper notes, "The sites are well spaced, good tree cover. Very nice patch of land. Quiet."
Peaceful mountain environment: Cabins near Cedar Glen offer a quieter alternative to more developed campgrounds. "This area is so beautiful, quiet... good retreat from stress in life. Get back in touch with nature," explains a visitor to the area.
Family-friendly amenities: Rancho Jurupa RV Park provides numerous activities beyond basic camping. "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. Lots of grass, great place to camp in groups," says Paul C.
Reservation timing: Peak season (May-September) cabins should be booked 3-4 months in advance, especially for weekend stays. Many campgrounds fill completely. One visitor at Mojave River Forks Regional Park noted, "This was our first time going to this campground and we loved it! It was entirely sold out for both weekend nights, so plan ahead."
Temperature fluctuations: Mountain elevations create significant day-to-night temperature changes of 30+ degrees. "Weather is around 75 during the day and about 50 to 36 degrees cold throughout the night," reports Martin O. about his experience at Mojave River Forks.
Cabin preparedness: Most cabins provide beds but require guests to bring their own bedding. "Porta potties. Not too many amenities. Just what you need to camp right by the shore. Nothing more, nothing less. Our site wasn't super flat," explains Christian N. about more rustic options at North Shore Campground.
Splash pad access: Choose cabins near water features for summer trips. "Very well maintained and clean campsites! Splash pad, park, mini golf great amenities. Nice staff!" shares Marcella D. about Rancho Jurupa Park.
Cabin location selection: Request specific cabin numbers when booking for better experiences. "Would recommend IF you reserve a decent site. The first one we originally had was 3, super hilly and not leveled. Recommend 4,5,6 if you can and even the one right next to that (assuming it's 7). Lake is a stones throw away!" suggests Janae P.
Security considerations: Keep valuables secure, particularly at more accessible campgrounds. "Only downside was that the ranger said to lock up bikes and be careful leaving out items because a local has been coming in stealing," warns a camper at Rancho Jurupa Park.
Cabin alternatives: Mountain Lakes Resort offers both cabin rentals and RV sites with similar amenities. "Now we come up here with our kids and I can't say enough about how family friendly it is," shares Harout K. The resort provides a range of cabin options from small to large depending on family size.
Site selection: Request cabins away from high-traffic areas for more privacy. "We totally lucked out and were able to switch with a couple who wanted more privacy and shade. We eventually stayed on site 4 which was even and open. Our tent was nestled amongst the few trees on our site - only downside was the constant traffic going to and from sites 5/6," explains a North Shore Campground visitor.
Seasonal access: Winter cabin access may require tire chains or 4WD vehicles from November through March. "We stayed in the natural area with hook-ups everything worked great. Neighbors were nice, cute set ups with twinkle lights and people enjoying outdoor fire pits," reports Jody R.
