Great time “glamping”. Close to home with all the amenities!
Scout
We loved our stay! The ultimate glamping experience, everything was so cozy and beautiful.
Guide
Great clean campground, beautiful views, short walk down to the beach! Lots of hiking trils around, or take the walk across the beach to the shake shack! Definitely recommend for a local glamping trip!
Traveler
Really good site. Showers, pit toilet, running water, but it's 10$ a night. Hardly any shade unless you get a good site. However they have glamping tents and even own personal hotsprings for a ridiculous fee. I didn't stay there. There is supposed to be blm land around there but everyone keeps it a secret on how to get to where you need to go. The hotsprings is clothing optional, so if you don't mind naked people, or you wanna strip down yourself, you should go check it out 💯💯. Went in early April and it was already really warm in the area
Guide
We spent 4 nights here. The park is renovated and clean. Best laundry room I’ve seen in our travels. Sites are gravel with a concrete pad and picnic table. Each corner has a super bright street light. Thank goodness for blackout shades. The lake was closed due to algae bloom. They have a great area of vintage trailers that can be rented, as well as some super nice yurts. The restaurant was only open one of the nights we were there. Not impressive. We were the only diners there. We explored the area. As it was winter, there wasn’t much to do.
GuideMuch like most California Beach Campgrounds, it is very crowded with little privacy. The beach is great but it is basically a glorified parking lot
TravelerLuckily Booked last minute on reserve California (the worst web thing ever) on site 49. Looks like there is a oven view from every site. Close to beach and shopping.
Scout
This is a pretty great RV campground. One of the only in Southern California/Los Angeles area where you can have a fire on the beach.
TravelerParked van sideways to get more privacy and went to shower and came back to a ticket. I didn’t read the camp rules, figured you could park any way you want in your site like all the other state park in Southern California.
Scout
Best place ever!! Tent camping, RV camping, they have a restaurant and bar, best burgers in all of southern California!! They also have a small store, there's showers, restrooms and a swimming pool! Tent camping along Santa Ana River, you can also fish and hike. So amazing and beautiful, awesome memories made!!
Guide
In the back of a small town 2 miles behind a stater brother's. Most sites are near level on gravel and close together. Laundry uses quarters or a third party app to pay. Geese send birds roam around sites. Menifee is central to the southern California mountains of north south and east in addition to the beaches 1-2hrs west.
Traveler
We were here to visit family in California & came across this gem near our family’s home. Since we were staying for a few months it was perfect & the monthly rent was very reasonable. This park is very dog friendly. The park has 2 large green areas to walk your dogs at & a fenced in dog area in the very back (not recommended as it is not kept up). The staff here have been friendly & helpful when we have needed RV upkeep. They have a gentleman in the park whose a resident that can wash your rig for a charge & he does a great job (just ask at the front gate for his info). The market stocks just the basic necessities but it’s nice when needed. The park is clean & the garbage is picked up a few times a week. They’re are trash bins near every section of the park as well as bathroom/shower facilities with washer & dryers at most of them. We stayed for 5 months. This park is central to everything.
TravelerIt’s pretty crazy to be camping among the million dollar homes but thankful we can. It’s a beautifully maintained spot on the cliff overlooking the ocean. So much nicer than many of the Southern California beach spots in that there is a bit more space and it's much nicer than a parking lot. Plus the fantastic benefit of miles of hiking trails right from the back of the campground and the ocean and beach right in front. Something for all. And if you want to go have a posh meal or shopping that’s just a minute away too.
Be sure to go take a look at the Crystal Cove cottages while here, it’s a pretty special spot. Try and hit up the Shake Shack too!
Only downside is not being able to have a fire but we just used our propane portable fire pit. Spots in the back have hookups and spots in the front are tent. The tent spots are a bit nicer and would fit small trailers.
Guide
A great campground that is very close to the amenities of small town Big Bear Lake village / town. The discovery center is very close which does tend to get busy during the summer months and on long weekends. I had in my mind that the campsites would be closer to the water however it was not terrible. I did not like my specific campsite however saw quite a few sites that I marked off in my mapbooks as locations to request (if available / applicable) A lot of sites in Ca are First-Come and are not reservable however you can save a space (or you could a couple years ago) Very scenic- great hiking and trails. Bring your bike. Great for tenting. RV accessible as well. Discovery Center is awesome and has a Jr Ranger Program as well.
Sites are not the cleanest however its up to the campers to keep things clean. While a site host is usually there it is quiet for the most part. Very enjoyable and would go again. NOT my favorite but it isnt bad. Especially if you live in the Riverside area or Southern California and want to have a quick getaway to the local mountains for some outdoor reset time.
Guide
Located on the west side of the San Rafael/Richmond Bridge, on San Francisco Bay, this park is extremely popular with mountain bikers. There are definitely better mountain biking trails in Marin (Tamarancho Boy Scout Camp, for example) but keep in mind that the bar is very high for mountain biking in Marin. So China Camp won't disappoint even if it's not the most epic biking in the area. The trail running and hiking is great too. The campground is off the main road that parallels the bay. It's located just past a meadow, and in the (increasingly rare) wet months, there's a creek that runs through the park. The website will say the sites are "hike in", but this is not how I'd describe it. Yes, you need to park in the main lot and then carry your gear to the campsite, but it's not really a hike. More like a short walk, a quarter of a mile at best. This means you will be able to bring your fully iced Yeti loaded with tasty local microbrews to your campground. Heck, maybe you can figure out how to hitch it to your mountain bike so you can tow it in.
The park itself is classic country California - oak, madrone, and even the occasional redwood. It's often foggy in the morning, and sunny in the afternoon. You can camp here year round, and I've been here in the winter, spring and summer. I really enjoy it here when the creek is running, but even in the summer when its dry, the proximity to the bay means it probably won't get too hot. Bring your mountain bike and shoes suitable for hiking and trail running. I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure you could kayak in the bay here as well.
This park is 4 stars because one would never plan a trip to visit China Camp on its own, but it definitely would be included as part of a larger trip to Marin county. A great Marin trip would be: set up camp at China Camp, day trip to Muir Woods, day trip out to Point Reyes, half day of mountain biking in China Camp, full day of mountain biking on Mount Tamalpais, full day of mountain biking at Tamarancho. Drink plenty of local microbrews in between. For locals, this is an awesome spot located right in the Bay Area. I come here often, and I've never had a bad time.

No longer a KOA. 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.
RangerAlthough you are packed in pretty tightly like sardines it's a friendly environment very welcoming just the larger of your RV is little bit harder it might be to park they do offer full hookups they have a swimming pool among a few other activities I am not sure how long you can stay here as for my stay there was just a night you couldn't get too much closer to the fairplex and if you are involved in something going on at the fairplex I would definitely be a very convenient place to stay in your RV it is literally across the street not sure if they have a shuttle system or anything like that to offer either we'll have to look into that to further this review as well I will return there and that's when I will further my review and add some media thanks for reading oh I forgot
RangerAlthough you're packed in pretty tight you better make sure that you like your neighbors it seems to be a very friendly quaint place I'll be posting some photos soon
RangerIt's quaint quiet but you're packed in like sardines it's a tight fit but everybody here is pretty friendly there's a few downfalls for some of the spot test for you can't park your car there in the parking lot can seem like it's a mile away even though it's not that far away very pleased with it very noisy with the traffic going by if that's where your spot is by the road but away from the road it's not so bad for the price definitely it's kind of high but that's okay for some people but for some of us who are on a budget you might want to skip this one
Scout
This is first time we visit this campground, we feel good!

Traveler⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our experience at Bonelli Bluffs Campground was mostly positive, but there were a couple of aspects that could be improved. As a family with young children, we were hoping for playgrounds or similar amenities to keep them entertained throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the absence of such facilities meant we had to get creative in finding ways to occupy their time during downtime.
Additionally, while the campground's proximity to the lake was appealing, the walk to get there was longer than expected, especially with little ones in tow. This made spontaneous trips to the lake less feasible and slightly inconvenient.
However, despite these minor inconveniences, the campground itself was well-maintained, and the surrounding natural beauty made for a peaceful retreat. The staff were also friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience.
In summary, while Bonelli Bluffs Campground could benefit from adding playgrounds and reducing the distance to the lake, it still offers a pleasant camping experience for families looking to reconnect with nature.
RangerLocated on a very steep incline parking is fairly far considering you have to carry all your camping gear shade is fair the bees and flies aren't too bad although you are right almost on top of the lake it's okay but like I said when we went we didn't really get to enjoy it as for we ended up getting kicked out because of the bad air quality from the fires no fault of theirs but it just sucked to not be able to really kick back
RangerAfter experiencing both amenities this place is more or less for RVs and 4/10 as for they do have the tent camping on the steep incline and not too many sites but for RVs couldn't be happier plus the people here are nice and friendly you do have your Karen's but you're going to have them everywhere we enjoyed the lake the view the weather it could have been better over here will definitely be returning you can stay for 20 days and then you have to leave for 60 days and that's fine with me I'm looking forward to returning
RangerYou know fairness there are a lot of spots that are better than others some closer to the lake further they have separate little communities they do have some that look as though they were permanent residents but they only allow you to stay for 21 consecutive days then you must be gone for 60 it's nice over here they have huge geese swimming pools but I haven't ran across any kind of activities or organized activities that they offer
GuideThis is a beautiful gem right in the middle of LA. Large bluffs overlooking a lake leading to beautiful views. Sites are concrete and level, and have plenty of room. We however ended up in the middle of a 5 RV group with about 12 screaming kids and adults that were drinking into the wee hours. We loved the location (C37) and the clean good hook ups, but had a hard time enjoying the stay with all the noise.
LegendTranquil campground featuring RV sites with patios, family& adult swimming pools& a resort store. This is a very nice location for individual and group camping, We traveled with our camping club and there was plenty of space for group activities. If you enjoy wildlife there are birds, owls, racoons, rabbits and LOTS of skunks.
If you stayed here after June 1st 2019, there have been many improvements after a change to new management. If you had a bad experience before that, I would suggest you give them another visit.
