Best Glamping near Lucerne Valley, CA

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.

Way too windy. We had tents and trailers. None of us slept. The trailer rocked horribly and the tents were filled with dirts. The yurts walls were impacted by the wind and the maintenance people were out trying to fix them.

The good was the maintenance crew is attentive. The pools and hot tubs are great. The list of activities were such a nice touch. The staff are all so kind and accommodating. The sites are all very large, from tents to RV sites.

The KOA is reasonably priced for KOA and California. 3 hot spring tubs. Pool is warm and wall stops wind. Many activities for kids miniature golf, jump board, play ground. Many activities for adults as well the staff are very nice and helpful.

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.

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.

Located in Big Bear, CA. 50+ full hook-up RV sites among large forested area. Take the main road up, easy drive. Among my favorites. Bring your dogs.

We loved camping here. Beautiful, pristine campground with bike trails/walking paths around the lake. The town is bike friendly. Some road noise but quiet over night. Weather is perfect in August.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The grounds are very pretty, and it's conveniently located a short walk from the lake by paved trail, plus near everything else Big Bear has to offer. These perks come at a price, though, and it was very busy and as a result, noisy. All the usual annoyances of car camping may rear their heads, and there's little separation from your neighbors so if you are unlucky you might suffer a little. This would be a stellar place in the off-season, but at any popular times the crowds pull it down to merely okay.

Very large campground with hook ups for RVs and primitive camping only a short walk to the discovery Center or the lake. Campsites are well-maintained and bathrooms are clean. We camped at the end of winter in our toy holler. The inverter went out and I had no power unless the generator was running. Everyone around us was very understanding. Wonderful place highly recommend !

One of the best campgrounds I've ever been to. Well maintained, clean, and just beautiful! We had a double spot and it was very spacious which is what we were looking for because we had 5 kids, 4 dogs, and 7 adults.

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.
