What you should know
Train noise: Several cabin locations near major railways experience periodic train disruptions. One LA RV Resort at Acton Camp visitor mentioned, "It's in the middle of nowhere in the desert. That's both good and bad. It's very very close to railroad tracks and at night the loud train kept waking us up."
Seasonal considerations: The best seasons for cabin stays in this area are spring and fall. Summer brings intense heat to lower elevation properties, while winter can bring unexpected snow. A Crystal Lake visitor shared, "Due to lack of rainfall and snow melt the lake is almost dry."
Varying amenity levels: Cabin amenities differ significantly between properties. "The sites are dirt so be prepared to get lots of fine dessert dirt in the camper. They had a pool and basketball court and there are lots of trees so that's good," reported one camper at LA RV Resort at Acton Camp.
Tips for camping with families
Book accessible facilities: Some cabin properties offer specific accommodations for those with mobility needs. A Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon visitor shared, "This is one of the best handicap accessible shower and restroom areas we've seen. The larger pool had a roll in area... All of the public areas seem to be pretty compact and easy to use my electric chair on."
Check weekend activity schedules: Several cabin locations offer organized family programming. A Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon review noted, "The Saturday activities... however if you have older kids forget it! The activities are for ages 5-7 maybe! They did have a movie night the last night we were there."
Consider weekday visits: Popular cabin locations become crowded on weekends. One Crystal Lake camper advised, "Will I go again? Sure. Mainly because its a quick escape. Will I go again on a weekend? NO!! Locals go up there to party and we had a group arrive at midnight and started blasting heavy metal music until 3AM!"
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: At larger properties with cabin and RV options, location within the property matters. A Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon visitor suggested, "Stay in the back side of the park as a rail line runs in front of the front side of the park. Phone service and wifi are adequate in most parts of the camp."
Check for flash flood zones: Some cabin areas have experienced flooding. "The road to resort is windy and narrow but easily manageable with larger RVs. The town of Acton is small rural town with a few stores. The area appears to be a flash flood area with heavy rains," noted a Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon camper.
Limited connectivity: Cell service and WiFi can be unreliable at many cabin locations. "No WIFI and reception for Verizon was hit or miss," reported one camper, while another mentioned, "There was no WiFi even after we payed for it."
