1 campground with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near Forest Falls, California offer cabin camping rentals ranging from rustic units to more comfortable options with electricity and private bathrooms. Seven Oaks Lodge offers mobile homes converted to cabins with electricity and private bathrooms, though it's currently closed due to flood damage. North Shore Campground features cabins as alternatives to tent camping, with basic furnishings and access to shared facilities. According to a visitor review, "Behind the main office are mobile homes that are used as cabins. The showers and bathrooms are clean for the most part but you do have to walk across the street to them." Most cabins include picnic tables outside and access to communal fire pits, with some offering kitchenettes or mini-refrigerators.
Rustic cabins and more deluxe options are available depending on the location and price point. Thousand Trails Idyllwild provides "beautiful cabins" with heating systems for winter stays, as noted by one camper who visited during colder months. Lake Hemet Campground offers cabin rentals year-round with varying sizes to accommodate couples or families. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer and holiday weekends when cabins book quickly. Pet policies vary by location, with some charging additional fees for dogs or limiting the number of pets allowed per cabin. Quiet hours typically run from 10pm to 7am at most facilities.
Visitors should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as most cabin rentals provide only bare mattresses. Kitchen supplies are limited, with some cabins offering only basic cookware and utensils. Refrigeration may be minimal or non-existent in more rustic units. Camp stores at locations like Lake Hemet and Thousand Trails Idyllwild stock essential items, though selection is limited and prices tend to be higher than in town. For longer stays, the nearby communities of Yucaipa and Redlands offer full grocery stores and camping supply retailers. Most cabin rentals require a minimum two-night stay during peak season, with check-in typically starting at 3pm and checkout by 11am.

"Private hot showers that you accessed with a free code. The wifi was pretty good too. There was a 9 hole mini golf and playground for the kids too. Great views of the mountains."
ScoutSite is clean, many activities on weekends They also add 1000lb or catfish and trout weekly depending on season. Members were friendly. Downside is wifi when the campsite is 75+ full and only about a dozen paved spots. Major are gravel and dirt.
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
TravelerBeautiful, well maintenance, great experience. So clean.
GuideKOA probably has the best app that indicates availability and precise grand total price. There are bargains under "deals." I've been a Rewards member since June 2024 when I transitioned from a stucco house to a tiny travel trailer fulltime. All my KOA stays were through the app, never a telephone call that is precarious with other RV parks that have hidden charges and deposits seldom refunded.
The Temecula KOA panders to campers with varying finances, but is far from free. While the fluffy class A crowd stays on a picturesque hill-with-a-view under shade, the Lower Merlot section where I docked is a treeless dusty ghetto that has a dilapidated but functional 18th century bathroom. It beats the boondocking bush toilets, and better than an outhouse vault. In fact, it has plumbing and showers that Beethoven probably appreciated.
But still not cheap. During summer Temecula is cooler at 90°s f than Palm Springs at 118° f, but unlike the coast at 70°s f with very high summer site rates and limited availability because of travelers from everywhere. Tent camping and non-air-con RVs in Temecula could be unbearable for the meek in summer.
ScoutThis campground has good amenities, more than most and quite close to shopping and dining. They offer full rv hookups and both 30 and 50 amp sites.
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.
TravelerA Hidden Gem! Phenomenal Staff & Peaceful Stay My husband and I just finished a week-long stay at Indian Waters RV Resort over Memorial Day weekend, and we are absolutely blown away! We are in our late 30s/early 40s and really thrive on peace and quiet, and this place delivered exactly what we were looking for. Right from the start, the customer service was unmatched. We had booked our site back in March and ran into a small glitch with the online system recognizing our deposit and site request. After communicating with Cameron and Rachel in the weeks leading up to our trip, they assured us everything would be handled—and they delivered perfectly. Upon arrival, they proved to be the most amazing, warm, and accommodating property managers you could ever ask for. From our first greeting to random run-ins around the park to our final day, their consistency and hospitality were top-tier. They even stock those must-have amenities in the main office for when you inevitably forget or run out of something, which was incredibly convenient. As for the resort itself? Phenomenal. The grounds are meticulously kept up—the grass sites are lush and green, and the gravel sites are perfectly level. The bathrooms are amazing, and the gym is clean with great, usable equipment. We spent plenty of time enjoying the amenities: The Pool & Jacuzzis: The pool was always sparkling clean (minus a few stray flowers blowing in the desert wind) and kept at a wonderful temperature. The two jacuzzis are absolutely to die for! Outdoor Fun: They have cornhole, pickleball courts, and great lounge chairs situated around multiple firepits. We were honestly shocked that the park wasn’t more crowded for a holiday weekend. It truly feels like a hidden gem right now. There were no loud or rowdy neighbors, no annoying barking dogs, and no screaming children—just pure relaxation. We came here to celebrate our birthdays, and thanks to Cam and Rachel, it was an unforgettable trip. We will absolutely be back time and time again! Wishing you both tons of success!
Scoutmy older truck couldn't really handle the terrain.
But didnt matter to me
WE MADE IT!
and that's all I cared about once I got here.
Loud neighbors, who cares!? Again.. the property is gorgeous!
Cold? Bit of a walk to restrooms? Sure.
Dont care. I love it here
I never want to leave!
GuideA very nice, clean and pretty place. I love the Olyander bushes between sites, they’re in bloom! Nice little lake/pond with ducks. Nicely done!
Cabins near Forest Falls, California range from rustic to full-amenity accommodations, with availability affected by seasonal demand and post-flood reconstruction work. Located at elevations between 5,000-7,000 feet, cabin sites experience temperature swings of 30+ degrees between day and night during spring and fall. Winter visitors should prepare for potential snow closures on access routes, particularly Highway 38.

Natural hot springs: Catalina Spa and RV Resort features mineral spring-fed pools that run warmer than most hot tubs. "They're fueled by the hot springs, so the pool is at about 90 degrees and the hot tub a bit hotter," explains a visitor who appreciated the weekly rate of $35 per night.
Mountain climate: Thousand Trails Idyllwild cabins sit at higher elevations, providing cooler temperatures during summer. "We had a Great breeze every evening starting around 4pm that lasted a couple hours," notes a camper who found the site's setting beautiful despite leveling challenges.
Wildlife viewing: Several cabin areas around Forest Falls attract local wildlife. "I only assume that since check out is 11. When we arrived the camp host was waiting for us. A friendly gentleman that showed me the like s of his stray momma raccoon that he has a big heart for," mentions a visitor who enjoyed the store's essential supplies.
Propane fire restrictions: Many cabin areas prohibit wood fires but allow propane alternatives. At Thousand Trails Idyllwild, "NO WOOD FIRES HERE - with room for our car and tent and their provided picnic table, although some of the sites are a bit close together," notes a camper who stayed during Labor Day weekend.
Water level fluctuations: Lake levels impact cabin sites marketed as lakefront. "The premium lakefront sites are no longer lakefront due to the drought so you have no dedicated shoreline as you would have had in the past," reports a visitor to Lake Hemet who paid for premium placement.
Utility limitations: Power reliability varies widely between cabin locations. "This campsite was found by my wife because we wanted to be able to have a campfire. It seems to be private property which allows you to have a campfire in their designated pits," explains a visitor who noted the campground's varied terrain.
Water play areas: Cabin sites with stream access provide natural entertainment for children. "The site is fairly large and divided by a road of the 38 hwy. On the left side is the main office with a pool nearby a shop, restaurant and RV parking with all hook ups," describes a visitor who observed how the creek becomes crowded during hot weather.
Playground facilities: Camp Durrwood offers almost 30 acres of forest land with cabin accommodations ideal for large groups. "The location is among the vast forest in California and with almost 30 acres, the perfect spot for a large group looking to enjoy the forest together," notes a reviewer who highlighted the natural setting.

Site leveling challenges: Many cabin and RV sites in mountain locations require significant leveling equipment. "Our Site was not level at all. We carry a lot of leveling blocks and are not even close to level still nose down with 4 2x8s and Jack at max extension," warns a camper who had to purchase additional lumber in town to properly level their trailer.
Winter access: Lake Hemet Campground cabins remain open year-round but with reduced services. "Weather was cold and windy but not too bad. Bring insulation for your water hose or have some type of method that will keep your water lines from freezing. Our water hose froze the first night," advises a visitor who stayed four nights.
