Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lake Arrowhead, CA

1,210 Reviews

Several RV parks sit within a 30-mile radius of Lake Arrowhead, California, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Skypark Camp RV Resort provides full hookups with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service, concrete pads, and mountain views. Sites are equipped with water, sewer, and electric connections, though the access roads can be tight for larger rigs. One reviewer noted, "I would skip if I were a big rig, or call and ask for sites that are easy to get into." Nearby, Holloway's Marina & RV Park in Big Bear Lake accommodates larger motorhomes with big-rig friendly sites and full hookup options including 50 amp service. Big Bear Shores RV Resort also caters to RV campers with spacious sites, full hookups, and picnic tables at each location.

Mountain terrain creates unique challenges for RV camping in the Lake Arrowhead region. Navigation to many RV parks requires careful driving on winding mountain roads with elevation changes. A traveler mentioned that at Dogwood Campground, "our 20 feet trailer and full-size truck just barely fit in the space and the site was extremely slanted. The tongue of the trailer was about an inch from the ground once we were level." Most RV parks in the area are pet-friendly but have varying policies on fires and outdoor cooking. Dump stations are available at select locations, with Rancho Jurupa RV Park offering a dump site near its entrance. Cell service varies throughout the mountain region, with stronger signals typically available at lower elevations. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer and fall weekends when parks fill quickly.

Lots of trees, biking and hiking trails, fishing area, beautiful views, very peaceful, family friendly, pet friendly, the C9 RV spot was very spacious, I also liked the A & B area.

    Mountain Lakes Resort

    Great family friendly place

    My wife and I have been coming up here for years. We used to use her parents fifth wheel or use a cabin but recently purchased our own travel trailer. Now we come up here with our kids and I can’t say enough about how family friendly it is.

    San Bernardino National Forest Crab Flats Campground

    Crab Flats Campsite Beautiful Sunset’s

    Do not follow Edison Road This is a narrow, and intermediate trail for ATVs. Do no recommend unless you have experience, someone to spot you and high clearance Jeep or aftermarket suspension. Follow Green Valley Lake Rd to Crab Flats Rd. The campsite is spacious although, not private from each site. The camp host visit twice a day and keep the place clean. This place is primarily for dirt biking. The mosquitoes were terrible from morning to nighttime. The campground is about an hour south of Big Bear and 25 minutes from Lake Arrowhead. There are fire rings, table, trash cans and 2 bathrooms with vault toilets.

    Pineknot

    Pineknot Campground, Big Bear Lake, Ca

    A bit challenging to locate via Google Maps... Just go up (south) Summit Blvd, when you get to the parking lot of the ski resort, veer towards the left, and just past a concrete wall, you'll see the little Pineknot Campground sign attached to an aluminium pole. The campground is very cozy, countless tall pine trees, clean bathrooms, clean sites, water from taps, no hookups, and not for big rigs. The hosts are friendly, but strict! No generators from 8 pm to 8 am, a $3000 fine if your campfire is left unattended, and no rowdy obnoxious behavior is tolerated! We appreciated the rules, and thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful, quiet, deep in the woods getaway!!

    Catalina Spa and RV Resort

    Nice place, good value for money

    Great for long term RV camping with hookups. They have nice hot springs pools, decent cell signal, and reasonable prices for full hookups. Camp sites are on the small side so neighbors are close, but at least they put plants in between to give you a little privacy.

    Barstow-Calico KOA

    Beautiful desert site

    I had to change my reservation three times, and the staff was incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to give us the easiest possible stay. The campground itself was reasonably clean with a gorgeous view of the desert and mountains. Sites laid out well and most are pull through and accommodate big rigs. Pool, laundry, general store, showers and lavatories. They did not however have the shuttle to the silver mine as advertised (ended with Covid) and the Enterprise rental in Barstow does not “pick you up“ and were rude besides.

    Shady Lane RV Camp

    A Handy Desert Stop

    Traveling while pulling my utility trailer along makes slow going. And pulling up a long, long, long desert mountain grade can be downright exhausting.

    So this is a mighty grateful thumbs up review. Robert made my day when I phoned up in the late afternoon and offered me a limited use rate on one their full hookup sites.

    And of course, I got in real late, just after late closing hours–10 pm!

    I got the last pull through site at the end of the lane. It was a breeze to pull in, get my deep cycle battery charging. 30 Amp with an adapter is all I need.

    Shady Lane is mostly populated by real big rigs. So a 50amp socket is also on the post.

    The park is a little distance from the highway, so it's blessedly quiet overall. After a grueling pull from Las Vegas, it was a wonderful blessing to crawl into my tent with my feline road companion, Missy. She just loves tent camping the very best. It was down in the 40s last night, but our traveling bed is a cushy cloud ☁️ from Heaven 🌠🌌✨ Just me and Missy and all those stars on that dark desert night.

    Just woke to a lovely quiet morning here at Shady Lane. Fully renewed, to make my long drive down towards San Diego.

    Looks they offer all the basics, showers, laumdry, and the same wifi network is offered all over these desert parts.. So once signed up, its the same login wherever you go on this network.. That's handy. Great wifi signal all the way down at the end of the lane, too.

    Most importantly, Shady Lane offers tent spots and doesn't get snooty about whether you're pulling a utility trailer, or a spit shined mega-rig. On the phone, when I spoke with Robert, told him what I'm pulling along, he was as nice as can be.

    I'm glad I found this quiet little desert overnighter. 🏜 Just right for Missy and me.
