Best Cabin Camping near Diamond Bar, CA

Several cabin camping options exist near Diamond Bar, California, primarily at established campgrounds rather than in the surrounding national forests. Canyon RV Park in Anaheim offers wood cabins as an alternative to tent camping, providing electricity and basic amenities within a park-like setting. Crystal Lake Recreation Area in the Angeles National Forest features cabin accommodations at higher elevations for a more rustic experience. "Spent the night here and it's not bad at all. The night I went there was a retreat or something that played music through 11pm," notes one visitor about Crystal Lake. Fairplex RV Park in Pomona provides cabin rentals with access to full hookup amenities and is convenient for events at the fairgrounds.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most campground cabins feature basic furnishings and electrical outlets, while offering varying levels of privacy. Canyon RV Park's cabins include access to flushable toilets and hot showers available to all campers. According to one visitor, "We've done Crystal Lake probably 6 dozen times or more in our time in California and it never disappoints on the spectacular views. Its not dispersed but definitely slightly more rustic than people plan for." Reservations are strongly recommended for all cabin accommodations, especially during summer months and weekends. Pet policies vary by location, with several campgrounds allowing pets in cabin areas with restrictions.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits (where permitted) and others providing basic kitchen setups. Canyon RV Park includes picnic tables at cabin sites and access to a camp store for basic supplies. Crystal Lake has a small cafe near the campground selling limited food items and camping supplies, though selection is minimal. Visitors staying at cabins near Fairplex benefit from proximity to urban amenities in Pomona, while those at more remote locations like Crystal Lake should arrive with most necessary supplies.

    San Onofre Recreation Beach and Camping

    The best Military beach retreat ever!

    This campground is so picturesque! It has a camp store, cabin rentals, and camping spots 10 feet from the sand. There are tent only, partial hookup, and full hookup sites available. Other amenities include playground, bathrooms and showers, a baseball field, and even a large gathering hall! The only downside to this location is that it is for military only, but this keeps the crowds down. The ocean wildlife is so cool, and at low tide you can see octopus, starfish, and all kinds of small fish/crabs. The views are spectacular!

    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

    San Onofre Recreation Beach and Camping

    Acceptable RV camping for surfers

    The beach is about a quarter mile away from each campsite and whether one uses an RV or tent, there’s not much else to do here then take the trail to the beach. They have restrooms and fire pits and picnic tables and they sell firewood. But all of the campsites are laid out like a parking lot with no real ambience around. Very nearby there is a railroad track and freeway which provides a distraction from a little bit nature nearby.

    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.

    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! :(

Guide to Diamond Bar

Cabin camping near Diamond Bar, California takes place in the transition zone between the San Gabriel Mountains and Inland Empire valleys, with elevations ranging from 700 to 4,000 feet at different campgrounds. The region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and mild winters, making fall and spring the most comfortable seasons for overnight stays. Most cabin rentals in this area require advance booking of 2-7 days depending on season.

What to do

**Hiking trails: Access trails ranging from easy to challenging at Crystal Lake Recreation Area, where multiple paths offer mountain views. "This campground is HUGE and many locations are rather secluded so unless you go on a holiday weekend you should have no problem finding space to bunk. Dog friendly and the cafe isn't cheap but I swear has the nicest people and the best cocoa. Bring your dirt bike and hit some of the trails, it's a definite must!"

Mini golf and water activities: Rancho Jurupa RV Park combines camping with family recreation options. "Great park for family camping. Fishing and a splash water park. This place has two campgrounds. Cottonwood and Lakeside. Cottonwood is the nicest of the two," notes one visitor. Another adds that the park includes "beautiful views all around Sunrise, Sunset and Night sky. Sights of all kinds of birds like hawks and herons. Water park and mini golf for kids."

Waterfall exploration: Short hikes lead to seasonal waterfalls at Bonita Ranch Campground, where cabin options provide a comfortable base for exploration. "A little gem hiding out in Lytle Creek! Easy access to a pretty trail right behind the campground. Very quiet and interspersed with long time stayers and temporary campers," explains one camper. Another visitor mentions that "Bonita falls are located fairly close unfortunately people suck and have managed to turn it into a tagging area but if you can see past that it's quite enjoyable."

What campers like

Large concrete pads: Rancho Jurupa Park offers substantial sites for those seeking space. "Great park. It may not seem nice when you are passing through town to get in, but once you enter the gates it's beautiful. Large concrete pads, easy backing in and hooking up. Lots of grass, great place to camp in groups."

Pool and recreation facilities: Family-friendly amenities make Newport Dunes RV Resort popular despite higher prices. "We stay here every year. They have activities for the kids like arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course or you can rent paddle boards or watch a movie on the beach. There are fantastic running/bike trails along the Back Bay. The campground is clean and right on the beach."

Mountain views: "We came on a Saturday afternoon, and even though 4 of the sections of camping were closed off - we found an AMAZING space in section D. It wasn't right next to the bathrooms, but the site was spaced out enough that we had plenty of privacy. It was right next to the trail head, too!" reports a visitor to Crystal Lake Recreation Area, adding "It was $17 per night, and was an easy & beautiful drive up the mountain."
