With its unspoiled beauty, crisp mountain air and dappled sunlight, it’s easy to see why Paradise Springs was a natural choice for our very first Huttopia resort on the West Coast. You’ll find our Huttopia Paradise Springs village high up in the San Gabriel Mountains inside the protected Angeles National Forest. Paradise Springs has long been a destination for people looking to escape greater Los Angeles for the wild. It’s an oasis in a wide canyon ringed by lush desert greenery fed by an artesian spring that flows into a winding creek all year long. That sounds like paradise to us.

Staff all friendly and facilities while dated are kept very clean. Campers are respectful and quit at night but it’s a very noisy location right next to the freeway which took some getting used to the first few days.

Clean and well maintained. Friendly service. Awesome pool! Just a little pricey...$71

Booked this campground for 3 nights, in large part for the hot showers. The showers and bathroom facilities are frankly disgusting and not something we would us, nor would our friends who were there with us. The staff was rude and provided the typical"we don't provide refunds" when we told them respectfully we we're leaving after the first night. The campground was a wierd mix of what looked liked full-time campers but mostly no one was occupying the sites that there campers and belongings were left at. Post apocalyptic vibe, can you say ghost town. North Shore Campground is a dusty one and done for us. Caveat emptor.
Scout
I have been a member of this place for 20+ years.
Most times if someone has a problem at the front gate. It because of the many background checks and or any one of the Screening Process...
The previous review does not mention anything about that factor???? I wonder why??
Scout
They are scammers. The cabin they have on site electricity keeps going on and off, the cabin was also dirty. Got a bad splinter on my hand from the railing and spoke to some residents and figured out that even though they’re selling memberships the electricity is going to be shut off. They are going to cause hundreds of people to go homeless and trying to keep it a secret. What a shame.

This is our second stay here and probably our last. It was super expensive this time and we were put in the back (overflow) lot which name I use loosely as when it rains it floods. Had to park the car at the office so it wouldn’t float away. Upon our arrival my husband pulled up in our 42’ 5th wheel and parked to go into the office. There is a painted line on the curb where I guess you’re supposed to park but our unit would have been longer and wider than that space provided. She also could have used some tact and nicely asked if he could park the unit in the space provided but she was asking for a fight. He went to register and a lady with longer gray hair and glasses, who I’d seen there before, greeted him with..you need to park by the curb in the designated area- you’re blocking my driveway!! That kinda set the tone. He said I thought you’d open the gate so I could get out of the way. About that time I pulled up in the car and he was storming out the bldg saying I have to get out of the way- park in the designated area! So I went in and couldn’t understand why he hadn’t registered already. She very hatefully said I told him to move he was blocking my drive! (There was nobody out there but us). The tone could have been better, but I wasn’t in the mood for a confrontation- she took my information and said you’ve been here before so you know where you’re going! Maybe she is the owner or maybe an employee but it wasn’t a great way to start off our 2 wk stay at the rate of $2k! She was a real bitch!
GuideIt's an excellent location for access to Barstow and Calico. We appreciated the pool, hammocks next to the pool, and the treats at the store. Sites are primarily pull-throughs, and many are occupied by people passing through them for one night. There are easy hookups, 50 amp service, and easy on/off from the highway. We visited both Barstow and Calico and had a good time at both.
Guide
Good place to see, close to the Lytle creek and great hiking to reach the Bonita Falls

We had a great overnight stay at this park. Two other campers were there, and we had no interactions other than waving. We arrived after hours, and the gate code was included in the reservation information. We will be adding this park back for future stays.

We love the Soledad Canyon Thousand Trails! It’s gigantic, so you almost always can find a spot. The best are the back in sites at the top of the campground because you back up to a gorgeous Mountain View Cliff. Their pool and spa are FINALLY open and finished with maintenance. The grounds are kept decently but could be a bit cleaner. We normally have pretty bad cell reception. Starlink works well though if you don’t park under one of the few trees. You can tell TT is trying to make the campground even better. They’ve installed a new leveled section as well as a paved bridge! Expecting more to come! All in all, this is a solid thousand trails to stay at for sure, especially if you can land a cliffside site!
TravelerI have been here for a few months and I love it here. It's not only in the middle of a nature preserve but you're also in the middle of a City. You're nearby to all the stores you could ever need but you're also around a lot of wild life. The staff is friendly and the whole RV park is beautiful. Bathrooms are clean and they even have fun events on many of the weekends. The spaces are well spaced out and you're not right on top of your neighbors. Come on by and stay a spell.
Traveler
I stayed here for a few weeks and although there was a train that went by several times a day it was very quiet. But, the campground sure needed a lot of work. So many of the buildings were in horrible shape. They all needed repairs and repainted. The laundry was good with easy payment options. If you're passing through it's a nice stop. You're very close to the world famous Vasquez rocks. Big downsize is not having any wifi there.
Traveler
I stayed here years ago with my husband. We swam, I did yoga and we just relaxed. We camped and enjoyed our stay.

Nice enough campground close to the town. Is gated, so pretty secure with park rangers that drive around. There are some permanent citizens here, but everyone was nice.
TravelerThis campgroud has two sections. The lakeview area has dirt roads, sparse grass and a few spots close to the lake. The Cottonwood campground has concrete pads and well maintained grass throughout. This campground may have been renovated recently by the looks of it.
There is a small store and a couple of cabins too, but the cabins don’t appear to be bookable via the website.
I stayed in both and liked the spacing and grass better in the cottonwood campground but overall this park was a nice surprise for us, especially given the limited amount of “good” campgrounds around LA.
Showers available, but only ok. Need to use tokens for them. Cottonwood has full hookups thru out, and lakeview is mostly just water/electric with a dump site near the entrance.
Definitely would stay again. Weekends are very busy here
ScoutAn entire section of the campground(K Section) has been closed for approximately 6 years for"renovations". The employees live full-time in all the good sites. Half of the campsites in the other sections are closed because of the park's faulty electrical system. If you manage to find a site with working power then you're bombarded with the smell of raw sewage constantly coming from the park's sewer system. Not to mention all the weeds growing everywhere and the trash blowing around.

We stayed at Crystal Lake campground on Friday the 13th! Luckily we arrived before 3pm as the campground was pretty full by 6pm. I give it 4 stars for being about 90min from Corona. However it is close to LA and there is still a lot of graffiti at the pit toilets and the group next to us was pretty rowdy all night. Sites are all pretty well shaded. Crystal Cafe sold firewood by the wheel barrel and only $20! I’m glad camp fires were allowed as the temperature dropped pretty quick once the sun went down.

LegendJake from the Dyrt here! Deep Creek Camp is a great spot to get out in nature and check out one of the coolest geological features in the area! Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!
LegendI didn’t stay overnight at this campground, but rather used it as the parking place for my day hike to Throop peak. I arrived at 9am on Labor Day, and I was pleasantly surprised that  there were still plenty of parking spots available in the day use area. I use the vault toilet, and wasn’t the cleanest. At the end of my hike, as I was passing through multiple campsites, almost all of them had a boombox playing loud music. To each their own I guess, but I personally prefer the sounds of nature while camping.
Traveler
It’s a spot where you can truly be away. We spent 5 days and didn’t really see a soul. If you like to read , enjoy sunsets, exercise and travel to local spots of interest or just stay put. This is a spot for you. I did see my first rattlesnake and heard the coyotes at night. Very peaceful spot for a long weekend. 5 days was a little much unless you have a car to visit around and did I say it was gated too.
GuideStaying for a week so good so far have spot 120 beautiful grass wilderness area.
Scout
I wish I could be positive. OK. One positive note, the sun was bright. No obvious maintenance in years. Trees are dead and standing for the most part. The laundry smells of cat pee. The flies have taken over. The tweekers have violent tendencies. The large riverbed homeless encampment is next door. They will not return my deposit or any of my months rent after three days of stay.
TravelerVery cool place, quiet, lots of places for tents. Very nice and friendly people work at the cafe at the entrance. There is a lake nearby. We'll come again!
