Best Cabin Camping near Compton, CA

Several cabin camping options exist within driving distance of Compton, California, providing alternatives to traditional tent camping. Newport Dunes RV Resort in Newport Beach offers furnished cabins with full amenities including electricity, heating, and private bathrooms. Crystal Cove Beach Cottages at Crystal Cove State Park provides historic beachfront cabins with ocean views, though these require advance reservations due to high demand. Millard Trail Campground features rustic cabins along the outskirts of the campground near a creek, with basic amenities and access to hiking trails. "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," notes one camper. Most cabins include picnic tables, and some offer fire pits, though fire regulations vary by location.

Rustic and deluxe cabin rentals are available depending on the destination, with sizes ranging from small one-room structures to larger family accommodations. Crystal Lake Recreation Area offers tent cabins that can be reserved by contacting the on-site store. According to a visitor, "They also have tent cabins up there so give them a call. Great people!" Canyon RV Park in Anaheim provides cabin accommodations with access to shared amenities like a pool and hot showers. Rancho Jurupa Park has "a couple of cabins too, but the cabins don't appear to be bookable via the website," as one reviewer noted. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with Newport Dunes being pet-friendly while Crystal Cove Beach Cottages prohibits pets. Most locations require reservations, especially during summer months when demand peaks.

Most cabin rentals provide basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from fully equipped kitchenettes to simple microwaves or no cooking facilities at all. Visitors should check specific cabin amenities before arrival to determine what cooking supplies to bring. On-site stores at locations like Crystal Lake Recreation Area and Newport Dunes offer basic provisions, snacks, and sometimes firewood. Nearby grocery stores in surrounding communities provide more extensive options for food and supplies. Cabins at Newport Dunes have access to a convenience store that "sells RV supplies, snacks and beer/wine," making it convenient for last-minute needs. For extended stays, bringing coolers with pre-prepared meals is recommended as cooking options may be limited.

    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 Soledad Canyon

    A "resort"? No. A campground? Yes.

    Very large park for RV, cabin and tent camping. As it's listed as a "resort", we figured it would be pretty upscale. Disappointment upon our arrival. Floods have been in the area and much of the sites were closed and being cleaned?? The road closest to our site was washed away (from earlier reviews it's been months), so a long jog or drive around the perimeter to get us to the pool, laundry and hot tub…speaking of which, the pool, hot tub and laundry facilities all needed attention. You could actually see people's footprints (bottom of pool and on pool and hot tub entry steps)…that much sand, dirt, etc…I didn't venture in. When we arrived, we started driving around to find the best site for our rig. We're a 32ft class A w/20ft enclosed cargo trailer tow. So, all in all about 55ft. Well, that wasn't easy. Most of the park's electric and some sewer connections didn't exist or were "down" for repair. We have yet to actually SEE someone working on these issues. We are currently here and checked in for a two-week stay. After some boon docking prior to our arrival, we wanted all the bells and whistles the park boasted they had. Took us just over THREE HOURS to find a decent spot. Many levels to this park and most didn't have a decent WiFi (we have our own router) signal. Some sites had dumpsters blocking them from being a true "pull-thru". That left us with about two areas to choose from. It's dusty, dirty, and, really, not ready to be called a "resort"….more rustic than we'd been looking for or what website photos showed. We would not recommend this "resort" to anyone. Several folks with dogs they let simply sit outside and bark, poo, etc….strict rules against that, in most all resorts we've ever visited. Unless you plan on tenting, cabin or what have you, it's not worth it. Very disappointing! :(

    Moro Campground — Crystal Cove State Park

    Beautiful beach, no fires allowed

    [ PROS ]

    • Crystal Cove State Park and Laguna Coast Wilderness Park are adjacent to each other, and a small pedestrian gate separates them.
    • The best trail here stretches across the two parks -- No Name Ridge!! Amazing for EPIC SUNSETS!
    • Some sites have MILLION DOLLAR BEACH VIEWS of the ocean.
    • There are about 60 camp spots and a lot of them are RVs, but it’s nice because each row of 10 spots is elevated from the previous row (tiered campsites) so everyone gets a semi view
    • Part of CA State Parks so showers are token operated. Clean and well maintained
    • Walking distance to Crystal Cove Historic District, which has a couple places to eat right on the beach
    • Crystal Cove Historic District also has some "preserved" beach cottages from the 20s, 30s, and 40s on the beach that are largely in ruins. It’s fun to explore and check out.
    • Lots of fun things along the beach to look at like tide pools and rock formations beach
    • Great Visitor's Center that is worth checking out. The Rangers are amazing and provided us with a super helpful information about the park, its trails, and the cottages.
    • Each site comes with a picnic table, a water faucet/drain.
    • The beach has less crowds/tourists/homeless compared to other beaches. It’s really quite and peaceful.

    [ CONS ]

    • No coal or wood fires :( Kind of a bummer since your evening ends early. You can bring propane pits yourself for fires though. Also, it can get extremely cold at night in the canyons, even if it’s in the high 80s during the day. Be prepared.
    • They do not allow any alcohol at the park. No exceptions. Rangers patrol constantly and will approach you for random things if they see you breaking any campground rules.
    • The hiking trails essentially have zero shade so it gets really hot. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen so you don’t roast. Also stay hydrated!
    • The campgrounds is a little further from the beach than I expected from looking at photos online. There is no direct beach access so you’ll have to go to the day use area and pay for parking ($15 parking)
    • You can get to the beach if you’re down to wade through 2-3 feet of still water that puddles under the highway underpass. It’s a little inconvenient if you’re with children or carrying a lot of beach equipment.
    • Campsites are VERY close together so be prepared to meet your neighbors. It’s also very quiet as soon as the sun sets (since there is no campfires keeping people up) so everyone ends up going to bed around 8pm as to not disturb your VERY close neighbors.
    • Be careful of rattlesnakes

    Rancho Jurupa RV Park

    Nice RV Park for LA area

    This campgroud has two sections. The lakeview area has dirt roads, sparse grass and a few spots close to the lake. The Cottonwood campground has concrete pads and well maintained grass throughout. This campground may have been renovated recently by the looks of it.

    There is a small store and a couple of cabins too, but the cabins don’t appear to be bookable via the website.

    I stayed in both and liked the spacing and grass better in the cottonwood campground but overall this park was a nice surprise for us, especially given the limited amount of “good” campgrounds around LA.

    Showers available, but only ok. Need to use tokens for them. Cottonwood has full hookups thru out, and lakeview is mostly just water/electric with a dump site near the entrance.

    Definitely would stay again. Weekends are very busy here

    Crystal Lake Rec Area Campground

    Convenient but crazy

    Mind you, we went on a Saturday morning during Covid to escape our house but so many others had the same idea. First of all the gates for the campsites were locked but that didn't stop anyone from walking their stuff in, including us. Our spot was nice and had lots of shade. The only drawback was the one open vault toilet that was pretty dirty. Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go. I thought, dang I shouldn't brought my poop bucket!! If I only would've known!! Who can't pop a squat in the dark though?! It was pretty rowdy at night with someone yelling at the top of their lungs and a dog barking but hey, we were under the stars and not couped up at home or with masks on. I wasn't complaining. I love nature and I'll ignore the drunks. Other than that, there is a little store that Adam and his family run. They are great!! The brownies are bomb, so get one early. They also tent cabins up there so give them a call. Great people! It's definitely convenient and worth the effort!

    Rancho Jurupa RV Park

    Awful

    I have never been so glad to leave a campground as I was to leave this one. We came to California to visit friends and family in the Riverside area. We were in the Lakeview side(unpaved) and what a rat hole. They allow 20 people and as many cars that will fit and then some into a campsite. Trash was everywhere! The camp host's site looked like a junk yard and I never saw him do anything but sit in his lawn chair. I didn't even look at the restrooms or showers because if the guy can't keep his own site clean, I'm sure he isn't keeping the bathhouse clean.

     The sites are dirt with a rickety and dirty wood picnic table and a fire ring. Our site and all the others were full of trash all over the ground and it got worse each day as our neighbors just threw their trash on the ground included baby wipes and dirty diapers.. Obviously nothing is done to the sites between campers. The dumpster was overflowing when we got there and was a complete mess two days later. 

    We had people doing heavy drugs in the campsite to the right of us and at least 40 people partying with loud music until 1:00AM both nights in the campsite to the left. Kids running around everywhere and the people next to us even parked their car in our site. They also dumped their grey water on the ground and flooded both our sites. Yuck! 

    We had to go somewhere each evening and we were a nervous wreck about what might happen to our trailer while we were gone. We left nothing outside, not even a chair. I can't believe that this place has a such a high rating as it is just really, really bad. The rangers do not enforce any rules and it's pretty much come one and all and do whatever you want as late as you want. 

    We paid$45.00 a night for partial hook-ups and a stress filled weekend. It isn't worth$2.00 in my opinion! The people who run this place should be ashamed. My husband said they are probably so outnumbered by the riff-raff that they are afraid to do anything. We will NEVER return.
