Don't visit too expensive
Has 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
Li K.TravelerHolloway's Marina & RV Park
A disappointing experience
We reserved and paid for a regular RV site specifically advertised for a 36–40 ft motorhome. We were assigned Site#28, which was so sloped and unsuitable that we could not safely extend either our living-room slide-out or bedroom slide-out. While using our leveling system, two front hydraulic jack rods broke and one rear jack became severely bent and could not retract. Our motorhome was left unsafe to drive or move. The exact mechanical cause still requires professional inspection, but the condition and slope of the assigned site are serious concerns. We immediately notified the campground by email, provided photographs, and went to the office seeking help with an incident report, emergency assistance, and a safe plan for the stranded motorhome. Unfortunately, management refused to take meaningful responsibility or help us resolve the emergency. The most disappointing part was not only the unsuitable site, but the lack of concern and assistance after a guest’s large motorhome became immobilized on the property. We had to return to work on Monday and were left trying to arrange emergency service, towing, transportation, and accommodation on our own. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Holloway’s RV Park to owners of large Class A motorhomes. If you have a 36–40 ft RV, carefully inspect the assigned site’s slope, space, and leveling conditions before parking or deploying your jacks.
Jalin C.TravelerCrystal Lake Rec Area Campground
noisy but beautiful
very 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.
D F.ScoutLake Perris State Recreational Area Campground
Nice lake, challenging crowd
The 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.

Mesa Campground — Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area
Fun camp trip
Nice campground, clean and well maintained - would pick a different spot a bit further from street. If you want to go to lake, its a bit away so need car.

Easy to get to. I have an AWD sprinter no problem. Son has an Acura TLX made it up no issue had a few spin outs on steeper parts. Higher sites are nice and spaced.

Fine, nicely wooded
No lake view, which was a bit disappointing. Nice wooded area though with tree climbing. A bit loud music from the neighbors, not until very late so was OK. Limited amount of toilets for the amount of spots

Huttopia Paradise Springs
Nice place, bring your own water
It 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.
Guide to Chino
Camping options near Chino, California range from small urban RV parks to larger county facilities across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The inland region sits at approximately 700 feet elevation with a Mediterranean climate featuring hot, dry summers where temperatures regularly exceed 90°F and mild winters. Most campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, though summer camping requires preparation for heat and potential for flies due to the area's agricultural heritage.
What to do
Mountain biking and hiking trails: Rolling M. Ranch Campground in Chino Hills State Park offers access to 14,000 acres of trails. "The trails are varied, accessible by horseback, hiking, biking. Some trails are ready walking, some very strenuous. The hills are green in spring," notes one camper at Rolling M. Ranch Campground.
Fishing and water activities: Many local parks feature lakes for fishing, though conditions vary seasonally. At Bonelli Bluffs, "There is camping, horseback riding, fishing, trails, biking, hiking, picnics, you can use your jet skies in designated areas, swimming on the pool areas, kayaking, Park for kids and plenty more," according to Jessica P.
Disc golf and recreational facilities: Several parks offer additional recreational amenities. Prado Regional Park has disc golf courses and extensive bike paths. A camper reports, "There's a lake for fishing, good roads to ride bikes on, lots of grass areas, mature trees, playground."
What campers like
Convenient urban escape: Many campgrounds provide easy access from nearby cities while offering a sense of removal. At O'Neill Regional Park, "The campground is beautiful, the drive can be a bit weird since it is all commercial and residential. there is literally a Starbucks 3 minutes from camp. the sites are wonderful and many hiking areas."
Wildlife viewing: Despite the urban setting, campers enjoy spotting local wildlife. A visitor at Chino Hills State Park describes it as feeling "like our back yard" and appreciates "the wildlife here along with the seasonal changes make this place a wonderful escape from the daily life that can be Southern California."
Full hookups and amenities: RV campers appreciate the range of facilities. At Prado Regional Park, "The sites here are pretty nice and far enough apart to have some privacy. With the local dairies are more insects than many campgrounds. Can be annoying. Some of the grassy areas have thorny stickers in them."
What you should know
Environmental conditions: The agricultural heritage means insect activity can be heavy in warmer months. A reviewer at Rancho Jurupa RV Park notes it's "nice and safe" with "great sense of community and great placement of the gates for safety purposes. Lots of food spots within 10 minutes."
Facility quality varies: Bathroom and shower conditions are inconsistent across parks. One camper stated: "Unfortunately the bathhouses are disgusting. There are plans for new ones but no way I'd shower in them at this time. Also they charge $1 for five minutes."
Reservation planning: Most parks require advance booking, especially for weekend camping in Ontario and surrounding areas. For RVers, site sizes can be deceptive. At Orangeland RV Park, one visitor advises choosing carefully: "I'd try to stay closer to Struck and the western side."
Tips for camping with families
Water parks and splash pads: Several regional parks offer water features for children. At Rancho Jurupa Park, "Splash pad, park, mini golf great amenities. Nice staff! Would of liked to be on grass like the sites across but they were clean!"
Playground access: Family-friendly campgrounds typically include playground facilities. O'Neill Regional Park offers a "Great playground for children" and an "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."
Security considerations: Many campgrounds have secured entry and regular patrol staff. "The ranger was great as was the reservation person. When I complained about filthy shower the ranger came and personally cleaned them and apologized for how they were."
Tips from RVers
Site selection crucial: RVers should carefully consider site dimensions and proximity to facilities. At Fairplex RV Park, "Spaces are very tight. Good for 1 nite only stay. Staff was friendly and place is clean but not much room to maneuver a lg. rv. in."
Access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult approach roads. At Chino Hills State Park, "We drove up in our 26ft motorhome and while we made it, I'm not sure that I'd want to make that drive again. It's very narrow and winding, single lane at times, lots of traffic."
Hookup availability: Most RV parks offer full hookups, but quality varies. One camper at Bonelli Bluffs reports that "all sites have full hookups and sewer" and "there's a pool. A tent area. Some spaces monumentally better than others."
