Best Campgrounds near Homeland, CA

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Campgrounds near Homeland, California primarily cluster around nearby lakes and recreational areas, with options ranging from full-service RV resorts to developed campgrounds. The Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort in Menifee serves as a central hub for campers seeking amenities, while Lake Perris State Recreational Area offers both tent and RV camping with waterfront access. Most facilities provide electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities, with many accommodating both tent campers and RVs. Several properties also offer cabin rentals and glamping options for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

Road conditions generally remain accessible year-round, with most campgrounds operating continuously regardless of season. Many developed campgrounds require reservations, particularly during summer months and holiday weekends when facilities reach capacity. "Park has gotten lots better since dairy farm has moved but still has a bit of fly problem due to close by chicken farms," noted one visitor about Wilderness Lakes RV Resort, highlighting the agricultural surroundings that influence the camping experience. The region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 100°F from June through September, while winters remain mild with occasional rainfall. Most campgrounds maintain paved interior roads and level camping pads suitable for larger RVs and trailers.

Campers consistently rate water access as a primary draw, with lakes serving as focal points for recreation. Lake Skinner Recreation Area and Launch Pointe Recreation Destination provide opportunities for boating and fishing, while still offering necessary amenities like showers and hookups. Wildlife viewing represents another highlight, particularly at Wilderness Lakes where, according to one camper, "Lovely Canadian geese" and "beautiful mature trees and canals" create a peaceful atmosphere despite being relatively close to urban areas. Family-friendly amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities appear frequently in positive reviews. Cell service remains generally reliable throughout the region, with most campgrounds offering at least basic connectivity, though visitors note variable Wi-Fi quality across facilities.

    Rancho Jurupa RV Park

    Clean Park with Amenities

    Usually come week after Thanksgiving when 25% occupied. They provide gate / bathroom / laundry codes for late arrivals. Nice level grounds to walk around. Lakeside has gravel roads / pads... other side has asphalt roads / concrete pads. Restrooms are clean and acceptable. Lakeside showers require tokens... inquire at check-in. Limited shower seating to change clothes both sides. Easy drives to downtown area to see Mission Inn Christmas lights and walk around lake at city park. Cabins on-site look good and had some holiday lights. Store on-site has basics for camping and fishing. Overall a good place at this time of year.

    Morongo Casino RV Park

    No longer offer RV parking here

    I just contacted the Hotel & resort to verify and camping/RV parking is NO longer offered. As most places around, the "wrong crowd" (their words) ruined it for all and they had to shut it down.

    If you are staying at the hotel, you check in and get a pass to park behind the casino but can not stay inside overnight.

    Lake Skinner Recreation Area

    Lake Skinner

    Another great trip to Lake skinner for Thanksgiving. Camp sites and bathrooms are clean. Plenty of hikes and bike trails. Rangers and camp hosts are friendly and informative. Camp store has the basics if you forgot anything.

    South Carlsbad State Beach Campground

    Beach camping-small sites

    Good for beach camping. Stairs down to the beach. Smaller widths for the sites, with usually some shrubbery between sites. Campground backs up to the highway, though after 10 pm I hardly heard any cars on the highway. Sites overlooking the beach are extra $$. Clean (flush toilet) bathroom and showers.

    San Clemente State Beach Campground

    Beach Camping on the bluff

    Great place for beach camping, but the hike down to the beach is steep. Beach used to be sandy, but over the years the tide has taken the sand away and left smaller stones so wear Tevas.

    O'Neill Regional Park

    Family Camp at ONeill Regional Count Park (soCal)

    Great regional county park for camping. We did a pre-Thanksgiving family campout. However, Nov was cold at night! The next day was our adventure day where we trekked up the wash and climbed the trail to Mesa day use area. Trail is steep for kids under 5, but doable. Check your site and location of bathrooms. Some sites are far from them.

    Bonelli Bluffs

    This is a campsite located very close to the city center

    This park has a great Halloween atmosphere,The bad thing is that there is no distance between these park RVs, they are very close and expensive. I must be 128US dollar.To be honest, I don't think it's worth the price. I won't go for a second time

    Black Rock Campground — Joshua Tree National Park

    Convenient to town

    Campground layout was somewhat confusing with parallel roughly paved roads (some quite bumpy). Not much to the "Visitor Center." Bathroom was adequate. There is dump station and water spigots interspersed around campground (we filled up before we left). Not sure there was a level site in the campground, if so, there are not many. Beautiful landscape with Joshua Trees thoughout. Saw coyote during day trotting through site but did not hear any at night.


Guide to Homeland

Camping near Homeland, California offers access to diverse terrain ranging from lakeside retreats to mountain escapes within an hour's drive. The region sits at relatively low elevations of 1,500-1,800 feet in the valley areas, with nearby mountain camping options reaching 5,000+ feet. During spring months, wildflower displays often blanket the hillsides around Lake Skinner and surrounding areas after winter rains.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lake Perris State Recreational Area Campground offers productive fishing with consistent catches. "This lake has been good to me and my friends, always catch something, maybe not a lunker but fun," notes John H. The fishing requires a separate daily fee at some locations.

Cultural exploration: Learn about local history at Lake Perris. "There is a cool museum were the amazing staff provided us with interesting history about the lake and Indian tribes. Such a fun and peaceful place to hangout at!" writes Lauren R.

Water activities: Launch Pointe Recreation Destination and RV Park features multiple water amenities beyond the lake itself. "Launch Pointe was a great stay for our family and dog! The campground was clean as can be- no overflowing garbages, all utilities tastefully hidden," shares Stephen H. The property includes splash pads and pools.

Mountain hiking: Access to mountain trails provides cooler temperatures during summer months. "Great park staff at check in, and at the camp store. Park is beautifully landscaped with trees and lush grass. We had a great time exploring the lake and hiking, well worth visiting," reports one camper about Lake Skinner Recreation Area.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain exceptional cleanliness standards. "The bathrooms are clean and there is a designated area for setting up tents," writes Hanjun W. about Lake Perris. Another camper adds, "Free showers. Electrical outlets by the restrooms at a handicap site. Water spigots scattered around the bobcat site."

Wildlife viewing: Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes RV Resort offers unique wildlife encounters with waterfowl. "Nice canals running through the park, with ducks and their ducklings trailing behind. I chose to stay at the far end, away from the crowds," shares Tom W.

Diverse accommodation options: Beyond traditional camping, some parks offer alternative lodging. "They have a great area of vintage trailers that can be rented, as well as some super nice yurts," notes Kellie about Launch Pointe Recreation.

Year-round access: Unlike mountain destinations, most campgrounds remain open throughout winter. "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," advises Donovan about Lake Hemet Campground.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: First-come, first-served policies exist at some locations while others require advance booking. "This park is first come / first served and they don't prohibit a 30amp rig from taking a 50amp site, so you can see the problem," explains david N. about Wilderness Lakes.

Environmental considerations: Water quality in lakes can vary seasonally. "The beach was right there, close and beautiful right on Lake Elsinore. Yet the beach was disgusting, stinky and covered with algae," reports Brian C. about Launch Pointe.
