    Lake Hemet is surrounded by the majestic beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains, in Mountain Center, near the charming town of Idyllwild. The scenery is splendid no matter which direction you look. Tall pines, manzanitas, sage, and giant oaks abound!

    Lake Hemet is one of the most popular spots in Southern California for camping and fishing. The recent additions of the Soaring Pines Cafe serving delicious food and Splashing Eagle Swim Zone have made Lake Hemet the vacation spot to be during the spring and summer months.

    Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground

    No shade, go in the cooler months

    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

    Lake Hemet Campground

    Great Time!

    Visited the last 2 weeks of August. Great place for family and kids. Affordable. Campsite #295. You can fit two 10' x10' canopies to cover the bench table, and fit 2 individual tents (4-6 person) OR a bigger 12p tent however you decide to position it. It has its own Fire pit. Different campgrounds for all chosen methods (Tent, RV, Glamping, etc..) There's restrooms you can use. There's showers you can pay per use. The swim zone isn't too far from this campsite, 5-10 min walk w/ no accessories. If you have little ones, you can take them with a wagon but I'd recommend just driving your car with a few items to the zone. Bring your own shade for this campsite, your own water too. The marketplace is near the entrance BUT they only sell individual waters (No 48 pack types). You'll definitely hear your neighbors snore at night after a long day LOL.. quiet hours are from 10pm - 8am. Overall, this is a great spot. If you're lucky to snag other spots with trees covering you then great but this is still a good campsite. Happy camping! ... Oh yeah, T-Mobile no service up there (apparently Verizon, AT&T do)

    The property was perfect. We had originally booked the electric yurt but we were able to upgrade to the container home upon arrival. The home was perfect for the 2 of us and our 2 dogs. Ryan was very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back.

    Launch Pointe Recreation Destination and RV Park

    Clean park

    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.

    Serrano

    A slice of heaven

    The wife and I visited here in November and we still talk about it.  Mostly because of how cold it was at night, and how sick we got.  We weren't as prepared to deal with the lower temperatures as we are now.  With that being said, this was my only complaint for the 3 day trip.  Take note we stayed here in 2008.

    First off, the showers on site were great.  I don't remember having to pay much of anything to use them.  The site itself was a dirt base with little grass.  The big plus was the pine needles laying around became very useful for building a fire.  There are also nearby water spigots for your water needs.  For the summertime there are plenty of trees in this campground.

    As for the overall housekeeping of the campground, I don't think they can do much better.  This campsite is fairly well known and gets its fair share of people traffic year round.  The grounds aren't far from Big Bear or Fawnskin so you have options to go shopping or for a nice dinner at least once or twice.  In my opinion I think Subway will always be my favorite because it fills you up for quite a while. On the other hand, the sizzler in town isn't all that bad either.

    The area offers some great hiking and views, but I think the lake tour was probably my favorite because of how many movie stars and celebrities have houses along the lake shore.

    I believe anyone wanting to stay at Serrano will have a nice relaxing time, even if the fishing doesn't measure up when you want it to.  I never had any luck shore fishing FYI.

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.

    Lake Skinner Recreation Area

    Close to city, wineries, good amenities

    This is a great family campground right around the corner from Temecula, Murrietta, and Menifee. It has tent, partial, and full hookup sites along with a camp store, fishing, biking, bathrooms, and day use areas. The lake is beautiful and boating is also an option. The fishing costs an extra fee per day on top of your California State License, so it’s a bit pricy. There are also nice hiking trails near the campground.

    Newberry Mountain RV Park

    Rustic with nice ammenities

    We stayed here for four nights and actually enjoyed it in spite of the heat during the afternoon hours.  Our space was on the end so we had a lot of privacy but near the I-40.  That didn't bother us but it might bother those who are looking for total quiet.  The nights were fantastic!!  The lakes here give it a nice feel since it's in the Mojave desert between Barstow and Ludlow California.  The staff was VERY friendly and helpful.  The best part for me was the pool which was clean and cool.

    Big Bear Lake Camping and Discovery

    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.

    Glen Ivy RV Park

    Relax long term stay

    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.

    Joshua Tree Campground

    Incredible High Desert Place

    We have camped at Joshua Tree National Park on multiple occasions. This is a very special place never gets old. We lived in San Diego at the time and this made for a nice weekend trip to Palm Springs and then Joshua. You will need to plan ahead and make reservations or come in the off season to get a camping spot. The park is so close to major populations in Southern California it is always crowded. The tent camping sites are close together but adequate. You can get nestled up against the rocks which will help manage the desert sun and winter winds. The trees and rock formations are incredible. They have some historical elements but the towering rocks and desert vistas are the highlight here. Wow, what a place. The camps have pit toilets and you can fill up your water containers. The biggest challenge here is managing the large crowds and the weather. It can be very cold in the winter nights and baking hot in the summer. Late Spring or Fall are the best times to visit. You can get supplies at on the road near the park. This is a bucket list park and a must see.

    China Camp State Park Campground

    Ideal for a Camping and Mountain Biking Weekend In Marin County

    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.

    Lighthouse Trailer Resort & Marina

    Cozy & Quirky (In the best way)

    This was a cozy little place. Many long stay residents and seemingly some part time houses which honestly makes it reliably quiet and peaceful. Very friendly hosting staff. Quirky because it feels like you’re staying at someone’s cabin. There’s an outdoor tool shop at the front, a little fish cleaning cabin that make you feel at home. And there’s cozy touches like bird feeders flower baskets at some sites. The only thing I didn’t like was that the lakefront wasn’t the nicest spot to swim or even wade. You could rent paddle boards and kayaks and while the prices were competitive with other shops we didn’t feel like spending $100 for a couple hours of entertainment for 2. Very close to walking and biking trails.

    Good stay

    Little family owned RV spot— some long termers. Everyone super nice. Big spot, shade of trees, walk down to lake. Full hookup. 7 minutes to big bear lake town. Hiking trails out front gate. Probably not big rig friendly.

    Initial looks can be deceiving

    Came across this property while on the hunt for a getaway from the Vegas heat. The property on the outside looks like it might be cluttered, busy, and even poorly maintained, but wait...there's more!

    Check in with Max was super easy and friendly. He put us in spot 62. And man, what a spot. A gravel spot with a concrete pad and picnic table, with a view to die for!

    The site and grounds are full of families if all ages and their 4-legged friends.

    Highly recommended spot!

    Standard

    Big government campground. Big spots but it can be difficult to get reservations. Lots of tent sites that cram way too many people in. Close to the lake

    Serrano has always been one of my favorite campgrounds, the facility is maintained very well, and the park host/staff are lovely. The sites are spacious and it’s always a good time when we visit.

    Beautiful Campgrounds

    We stayed 3 nights in early May and just loved it. Weekends it looks pretty packed but we were lucky to start mid week. Staff is extremely friendly and facilities were the cleanest I’ve ever seen! Campsite was fairly large but we had a spot that wasn’t so private. Site 28. Must bring your bikes as there is an awesome bike trail through the campsite that reaches around the lake. Overall we loved it and will be back. Caution for other newbies to high elevation camping we had some Issues with starting propane lighters and our heater. Nights are chilly in May still. We also had a strange helicopter our first night hovering over us at an odd hour but didn’t experience that the following 2 nights.

    Stayed here in August, a beautiful spot shaded by lots of trees, just a short walk or bike ride to the lake and observatory. Friendly staff.

    I really like this campground. It is well kept and clean. Away from town. But, an easy drive or bike ride to get there.

    Cozy and close to home

    We just spent last weekend here at Serrano Campground. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is well maintained and clean. Campsites have ample spaces in between there are a lot of flat places to pitch our tents. There are a mix of tent only, converted vans and trailers in loop but it doesn’t feel packed with visitors. The Lake was a 5-10 min walk from out site and we can see the lighthouse from the lake. Restrooms were clean although the showers were cold and does not heat up well. Will surely visit this site again. Its just 2 hours from home and that is one consideration we always look at when planning for a quick weekend with nature.

    Amazing spot

    We went camping right before the snow storm and it was pretty cold but still so amazing. The staff are very friendly and let us know about the coyote lurking about and the big freeze warning and made sure we were gonna be warm enough. We camped just a few steps away from the lake, there were other campers there but the campgrounds are far enough away from each other. They have very clean restrooms and I didn’t even know they had free showers there as well. We were super close to all the awesome hiking spots and off-roading exploring. If your into rock climbing there are a bunch of cool places there in Holcomb valley.
