1 campground with availability this weekend
Equestrian camping options near Cedarpines Park are limited, with no dedicated horse corrals indicated at the reviewed campgrounds. Mojave Narrows Regional Park provides camping sites with water and electric hookups that accommodate both tent and RV campers, though reviews note that train noise may disturb horses throughout the night. Rancho Jurupa RV Park offers concrete pads with grassy areas that could potentially accommodate horses, but lacks specific equestrian facilities according to the feature list. Both parks provide water hookups essential for horse care, picnic tables, and reservable sites with sufficient space for horse trailers in their drive-in areas. The grounds at Rancho Jurupa are well-maintained with large clean sites featuring grass, making them potentially suitable for horses with portable corrals.
Riders seeking trail access should consider Mojave Narrows Regional Park for its natural reserve setting with river access and hiking paths. The park's location along the Mojave River, where the normally underground waterway surfaces year-round, creates a unique environment with cottonwood trees and mountain views. Horseback riders can explore the riverbed area and surrounding landscape, though no specific bridle trails are mentioned in the reviews. Seasonal considerations affect campground conditions, with spring being optimal for moderate temperatures. The campgrounds implement security measures including locked gates after 4 pm, requiring gate codes for after-hours access. Reservations are recommended, especially for equestrians needing specific site requirements to accommodate horses and trailers, as the parks' online reservation systems may have limitations requiring phone bookings for special needs.

ScoutI found the campground to be very friendly kid friendly and pet friendly. The spots were spacious and some had privacy others were out in the open. The rangers were very friendly and helpful, they helped me set up my tent when they saw I was having trouble. There are trails to explore. A great last minute getaway from the city and not to far, the bathroom was clean and modern with hot showers and toilets.
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
ScoutThe scenery is unique and enjoyable, with nice views of either sunrise or sunset, depending on site. I found the lake itself very pretty. However when we arrived 4 vehicles are in our spot, people were nice enough moving but we had to go door to door knocking on camper to ask who's cars they were due to no signal and no rangers nearby. Our site was pretty dirty with lots of trash, copious ants near the drainage attachments, and two of the nearby groups had excessive tents extending into the back of our site making our view look more like a homeless encampment and less like a serene mountain sunset. They also were littering, urinating outside, and excessively drinking and partying like crazy until the wee hours. As a family group we felt really uncomfortable. It seemed like not all spots are like this, however, on my walk around deer loop in the morning. If you do go, the water activities and rentals look fun, the walking trail/biking trail was nicely done, and you could optimize your spot by booking a whole group of spots (instead of booking one, book one on the right and left side to avoid feeling like you have entered homeless refuge). It maybe was a bit worse as we were here over a holiday weekend. But we most likely won't be back, there are other places that are less expensive and with better enforcement and a family atmosphere. If you want to party it is probably a fine spot, and if you love water sports also likely ok. I thin it's a beautiful place with unique scenery and a lot of potential, but needs more enforcement regarding guest code of conduct.
Edited and gave 3 stars instead of 2. Views are really nice now that our poorly behaved neighbors left. Worth considering a visit during less busy times.
TravelerDespite the fact that one night costs $42, there are a lot of stupid, miserable people here who listen loudly to stupid music through their stupid speakers after 10pm. It's also full of cockroaches here and it's annoying.
GuideIf you like camping in a Walmart parking lot or on the streets, this place is for you.
No rangers working after the park close for day use. Didn't see one going through the campground. If you like to party all night and you have a loud system no problem. NO RAGERS AROUND. Be prepared keep your food in your car lot of rats, mice, skunks and coyotes. THE LAKE SUCKS, hard to launch your boat on and off, docks will mess up your boat. Fishing no fish they don't stock the lake. Marina is very over priced and out in the sunny parking lot. I live in LA I now got to SILVERWOOD LAKE, just as close as this place, and nicer, if you like to stay up all night Perris Lake is for you. If you want to work hard to get you boat on and off lake so you don't damage your boat, this place is for you.
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.
TravelerPlace is ok. Quiet so far. Nice people.
TravelerPeople shooting here all waking hours, found a group of kittens that some loser left to die.
Definitely a shooting-first, camping second place. Plenty of space once people are done shooting. Won’t personally be back here
GuideLarge, level, gravel lots off highway. Quite a few semis parked. As you continue past there are tons of open spaces to camp, just find a spot you like and set up.
Cedarpines Park camping options include elevations from 3,300 to 7,000 feet, with pine forests transitioning to desert landscapes in surrounding areas. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though winter access to higher elevation sites may require snow chains or 4WD vehicles from November through April.
Hiking along creek beds: Deep Creek Camp Retreat offers direct trail access to natural hot springs. "The hike to the hot springs is pretty rough but also worth it when you get there," notes one visitor, adding that "there are railways near the park and trains running by all night long."
Fishing opportunities: Lake Perris State Recreation Area provides stocked fishing locations suitable for beginners and experienced anglers. "This lake has been good to me and my friends, always catch something, maybe not a lunker but fun," reports one regular at Lake Perris State Recreational Area Campground.
Mountain biking trails: Multiple trails accommodate various skill levels around the San Bernardino National Forest. "There are a lot of hiking and mountain biking in area," reports one camper at Heart Bar Campground, where access to forest trails makes it ideal for day-long excursions.
Natural springs access: Deep Creek Hot Springs attracts visitors seeking therapeutic waters. "Super fun place to visit with the hot springs trail. Went in January with snowfall, hardly any campers and nature all around," notes a winter visitor at Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground.
Secluded forest sites: Yellow post sites provide dispersed camping without facilities. "I stayed at yellow post 12. The camp sites are close but still quiet," reports one visitor, appreciating the balance of accessibility and solitude at Coon Creek.
Wildlife viewing: The meadow at Heart Bar offers deer watching opportunities at dusk. "This campground sits right over a small meadow that borders the San Gorgonio wilderness... excellent for wildlife viewing and entry to the wilderness for hiking and exploring."
Train noise concerns: Several campgrounds near rail lines experience frequent train activity. "I stopped counting after I counted 24 trains lumbering by during our short overnight stay," warns one visitor at Mojave Narrows Regional Park.
Limited water access: Dispersed camping requires water planning. "Water is only available near the main road so bring containers if you go further up the road," advises a Coon Creek Yellow Post visitor.
Security measures: Gate closures affect late arrivals at several parks. "They do patrol the park frequently and your dog must be leashed," notes a camper at O'Neill Regional Park, adding that "gates close at 10:pm your provided with a security gate code to get back in if your out late."
Kid-friendly amenities: Splash pads and playgrounds provide entertainment beyond hiking. "Splash pad, park, mini golf great amenities," reports a visitor at Rancho Jurupa RV Park, where families can enjoy structured recreation alongside camping.
Story trails for children: Special trails feature seasonal reading activities. "Great playground for children and easy and fun Story Trail hike for children. The hike features a new book every month, each page is mounted to a placard along the trail."
Temperature preparedness: High desert elevations create significant day-night temperature swings. "Very cold at night!" cautions a camper at Coon Creek Yellow Post Sites, emphasizing the need for proper gear even during warmer seasons.
Dump station availability: Limited dump facilities require planning. "Water and electric only on camp sites. No dump site there," reports a camper at Hesperia Lake Park and Campground, highlighting the need for tank management.
Site leveling challenges: Many forest sites require leveling equipment. "A lot of spaces are unleveled but it's not a deal breaker for me," notes an RVer at Lake Perris, suggesting that bringing leveling blocks is essential.
Cell service variability: Coverage ranges from none to moderate across different campgrounds. "AT&T - Good. 2-4 bars. Verizon - Good. 2-4 bars," reports a camper at Coon Creek, providing useful information for remote workers or those needing connectivity.
