    Bonita Ranch Campground

    It’s okay 😐

    Pros: campground is very short walk to Lytle Creek. Also close to the trail for a hike to Bonita Falls.

    Cons: Not enough bathroom facilities for the amount of campsites. Women’s restrooms had only two stalls, constantly a long line. Also quiet hours are not enforced.

    Bring cash if you want to rent a fire pit. Sites do not have their own fire rings and you must rent one.

    Rancho Jurupa RV Park

    Near Historic District

    A little something for every type of camping. Cabins, paved pull through & natural dirt & grass. Friendly staff to check us in gates close at 10:pm your provided with a security gate code to get back in if your out late.

    Lots of families with children, fishing for catfish in the little lake which is shaded with trees and plenty of tables to picnic by the lake. Playground plus lots of grassy areas. 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. Campers we’re playing music, laughter echoes through camp ground but nothing too loud and all quiet later.

    We drove over to the Mission Inn (8 min drive) enjoyed lunch. Their is a pedestrian only shopping area with a Saturday farmer’s market plus lots of restaurants.

    The campground sells firewood plus has a little store. Would stay again.

    Millard Trail Campground

    Great campground for hiking/biking

    Cool drive to get to the campground. You drive up and down these hilly roads up the mountain to get there. Once there, there's a parking lot that fits about 20 cars. There's about 100 yd hike to the campsites. There's a road that leads to the campsite but it's been blocked off. Only the campsite managers use that road so it's not accessible by RV, just tents. A campsite manager stays in a little trailer overnight so if there's any problems there's somebody there you can go to and ask for help. There's about six campsites and their first come first serve, no reservations. I went during the week and was the only one camping. This place is heavily used for day camping and hiking. There's not a lot of privacy because there's always lots of people passing by who are hiking and biking. You can stay overnight which I did and everything was fine but there's not a lot of privacy. The next day as I was leaving there was another guy sitting up his tent. I bet on the weekends they can fill up pretty fast. It's in Bear country so they provide food storage for each campsite also trash containers too. Each side has a picnic bench and a fire pit. The fire ban has been lifted so you can have a fire. Each fire pit had wood left at it so you didn't have to go searching for campfirewood. Bathrooms included male and female toilets but no showers or water. There's a creek that runs through the campground which makes it very pretty. I saw two to three cabins along the outskirts of the campground that I assume were for rentals. There was one family at one of the cabins the night I stayed. About a 20 minute hike and you can end up at a waterfall which is very pretty. But there are several trails to take for hiking and biking and I saw lots of people doing that. Overall a good campsite four stars. Would have been five stars if they had showers and running water. I didn't see any bears although there was an animal outside my tent at one point in the night I could hear him nosing around. So it's important to keep all of your food and anything with any kind of smell in the bear boxes

    Thousand Trails Idyllwild

    Beautiful Idylwild

    We tent camped 3 days 2 nights during Memorial weekend with 3 other families. We really enjoyed the drive up Idylwild, beautiful scenery. I think the sites are a bit too close to each other, I would prefer more space between sites. But it's a quiet campground, everyone goes to sleep early around 10pm. A downside during our visit, is the restroom/bathroom; the resort closed down couple restroom/bathroom for renovation, so we had. to walk far to shower/potty. Maybe they were short staffed, the restroom/bathroom were dirty, toilet flushing issue and trash bin overflow. Overall we had a good time, also be aware of coyotes they come out at night.

    North Shore Campground - Lake Almanor

    Beautiful Camping near Lassen Volcanic National Park

    We reserved and camped at this beautiful campground back in July of 2018. It was a great experience. We pulled a 27' Travel Trailer from Livermore, CA and picked out the perfect site #94. It was the furthest RV site north of the campground and we had power, water and sewage. It was a lake front campsite so we had a nice view of the lake right in our "front yard" :-) We had a picnic table and a fire pit for our use.
    The fishing was awesome, but I suggest fishing in the mornings before the afternoon winds come in as the weather cools down. We had our kayaks and it is a beautiful lake to kayak. But when it gets windy, know your limits :-)
    The campground is close to the Lassen Volcanic National Park. We took a drive there for a visit and it was spectacular. 
    The campground also has a great store there. It has all the camping necessities. If you are into hiking and biking, this campground has the accommodations for that activity. It also has a kid's park.  They also have cabins if you do not want to use a tent or RV.

    Launch Pointe Recreation Destination and RV Park

    More than we expected

    Spent Spring break here with the family. We read a lot of reviews on this park - many of them mixed. Overall, this park did not disappoint - too much.

    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. The boat launch is very near by too but we had no use for that.

    This park is clean! Like no park I have seen before. The staff are always moving around the grounds and “picking up” as they go. Quiet hours are strict - some may see that as a bad thing but I appreciate it. Even with 4 young kids, we like that the park slowed down right on time.

    Only arguments - the spots are relatively tight. We reserved a spot for a rig with slide outs on both sides to accommodate our 39’er but it took some creative parking to get the rig into the spot in a way that we could actually open both sides. Once in, we had to make sure we pulled back far enough otherwise the very nice provided picnic table would of been right next to the front wheel. Water pressure is a bit low too but nothing terrible.

    Location wise - awesome. 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.

    We will definitely be back.

    Reflection Lake RV Park

    Beautiful, but look more closely...

    This was our first time here. 

    We made it clear, at the time we reserved, that we needed a 50 Amp hookup. It turns out that our reservation was for a 30 Amp site (#21). We again made it clear at the time of check-in that we needed a 50 Amp site, we were moved from #21 to #31 (the only 50 Amp site left in the park). It is a lakeside parallel parking site that is beautiful. The lake has a fountain in the middle that gets illuminated at night, very nice indeed. 

    Now for the bad, although there was clearly a gate at the front entrance, we never saw it closed. The park provides security until 10 pm, after that, it seems that ANYONE can come and go. We heard from others that thefts had become common-place. 

    The tiny store at the entrance closes at 5 pm every day. Luckily there are several stores only a couple of blocks away. 

    Showers are not included in the price of your site rental, an average shower will cost between $1 and $2. You must purchase shower/laundry tokens from the tiny store. When we went to the store to purchase our tokens, we were told that they had to go empty the machines so that they had more tokens to sell. The laundry room was actually closed for the first 2 days we were there. 

    The dump station in the park was locked (no sewer hookups). You had to wait until someone from the tiny store was able to get free long enough to open the locked dump station. 

    The WiFi situation is horrendously bad, especially after about 9:20 pm. Apparently that is when their metering software kicks in. We went from watching our shows (NetFlix, etc) to the point that we couldn't even play a complete song over the connection. Still unhappy about the WiFi, an ominous warning came across my devices stating that there was suspicious/hacking activity on the WiFi network, disconnect immediately. 

    **OMSB: When are RV parks going to learn that in today's world, good, safe, WiFi is essential, and should not be an afterthought? TO ALL RV PARKS: Upgrade your WiFi now, I (and probably many others) would happily pay another $5 to $10 per day for great WiFi service. **

    There seemed to be an inordinate amount of trash around the entire place. There were multiple empty beer cans on our site when we arrived. The nice green lawn area that we walked our dogs on was littered with waste from other inconsiderate pet owners (please pick up after your pet). 

    The place is a little pricey for what you actually get, Everything seems to cost more, as long as you get it before 5 pm. 

    We have gotten much more, for much less. Overall the place was beautiful until you looked more closely. Unfortunately, it looks like people have stopped caring about maintaining this park.

    Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort

    Great Time!

    I had a reservation at Wilderness Lakes, and I was a day early, so they let me in! Off to a good start! Full hook-ups, laundry and showers about 50 yards away, no matter which way you go. Laundry is done with an app, and pretty cheap, $1.75 wash, $1.75 dry. Nice canals running through the park, with ducks and their ducklings trailing behind. I chose to stay at the far end, away from the crowds. I got a great site, with no one on either side, and 2 neighbors across the street. While I was setting up, one of my awning screen poles broke. I called ShadePro, and they were out the next morning with a new one. Management seems very friendly, there’s a store at the front of the park, and a nice one mile hike around the perimeter of the park. Unseasonably warm the past couple days, so used my AC for a couple hours in the afternoon, to cool Riley and I down. The internet pretty much sucks. Good for email, and very little surfing, but way too slow to stream Netflix, etc. I just put on some music and relax, or throw in a DVD at night. Plenty of trash receptacles, playground for kids, mini golf, and much more. They even have cabins to rent. Will definitely come back!


Guide to Cedarpines Park

Cabin accommodations near Cedarpines Park, California provide shelter at elevations averaging 4,500-5,000 feet where temperatures typically range from 35°F at night to 75°F during summer days. Located in the San Bernardino National Forest, these cabin rental options offer alternatives to tent camping during the region's occasional mountain snowfall that can reach 6-12 inches during winter months.

What to do

Hiking trails access: Crystal Lake Recreation Area connects to several trail networks with varying difficulty levels. "This is a great campground near the city. Due to lack of rainfall and snow melt the lake is almost dry," notes Robert A., highlighting the area's changing conditions.

Fishing options: North Shore Campground offers fishing access to Lake Arrowhead, just 4 miles from the campground. "The lake is a stones throw away!" shares Janae P., making it convenient for cabin guests to enjoy morning fishing excursions.

Wildlife viewing: Visitors staying in cabins can observe local wildlife. "Animals seen: Black bear, deer (wandered through our site), red foxes, Stellar's Jays, woodpeckers, other birds," reports Forest G. from Crystal Lake Recreation Area, suggesting guests should secure food properly.

What campers like

Proximity to town services: Most cabin locations provide relatively easy access to nearby communities. "Lake Arrowhead Village is 4 miles away," mentions Andrew B. about North Shore Campground, allowing visitors to restock supplies without lengthy travel.

Evening temperatures: Overnight temperatures provide relief from summer heat. "It was nice and cool a good break from the heat," explains Robert A. about Crystal Lake Recreation Area's August evenings, making cabin stays more comfortable than valley locations.

Proximity to natural features: Deep Creek Hot Springs Camp Retreat provides unique access to geothermal features. "The hike to the hot springs was fairly tough, but we found it easily with the trail starting right on the property!" states Jessica B., noting the benefit of on-property trail access.

What you should know

Reservation systems: Mojave River Forks Regional Park utilizes a gate code system for after-hours arrivals. "We arrived after hours, and the gate code was included in the reservation information," explains Jason M., helping visitors understand access procedures.

Site selection matters: Cabin and campsite quality varies significantly within properties. "Recommend 4,5,6 if you can and even the one right next to that (assuming it's 7)," advises Janae P., suggesting guests research specific site numbers before booking.

Winter access limitations: Many cabin properties operate seasonally due to mountain conditions. Crystal Lake Recreation Area operates from "April 25 to December 20," according to its listing information, requiring winter visitors to seek alternative accommodations.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Rancho Jurupa RV Park offers recreational options beyond basic camping. "Splash pad, park, mini golf great amenities," reports Marcella D., providing activities suitable for children of various ages.

Safety considerations: Campground security varies by location. "Ranger is on constant patrol. Low-key felt like bikini bottom," notes Troy A., indicating family-friendly monitoring at Rancho Jurupa RV Park.

Educational opportunities: Wildlife sightings create learning moments for children. "It is a short walk to Lake Arrowhead. This is a dog friendly site," explains Summer A., allowing families to explore natural areas together.

Tips from RVers

Road conditions: Access to cabin locations requires navigating mountain roads. "You will have to drive 6 miles of mountainous dirt roads to reach the property," warns Jessica B. about Deep Creek Hot Springs Camp Retreat, suggesting proper vehicle preparations.

Hookup availability: Bonita Ranch Campground offers full hookups for those bringing RVs instead of using cabins. "This place is awesome full hookups lots to do trails and not to mention right on top of the creek," states Sara H., describing utility access.

Site leveling challenges: Terrain varies across cabin and RV sites. "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," cautions Christian N., suggesting leveling blocks may be necessary.
