Mojave River Forks Regional Park maintains cabin rentals that allow pets, with reservations recommended especially during peak periods. Several cabin sites enforce quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM, though enforcement varies by location. A visitor commented, "We stayed in the natural area with hook-ups everything worked great. Neighbors were nice, cute set ups with twinkle lights and people enjoying outdoor fire pits."

      Mountain Lakes Resort - Membership Campground

      OCTOBER 2026

      Site is clean, many activities on weekends They also add 1000lb or catfish and trout weekly depending on season. Members were friendly. Downside is wifi when the campsite is 75+ full and only about a dozen paved spots. Major are gravel and dirt.

      Nice place, bring your own water

      It was a nice place and the people were nice. I checked with the staff on day one if their water was potable. They confirmed everything is potable. My dog had explosive diarrhea day 1 and by the time I got home I had fever and diarrhea. It’s been a rough ride ever since. My dog and I did not share food. We only used the tap as a water source. My husband ate all of our food any only drank store bought drinks. No water. He’s fine. Just me and the dog riding it out. Don’t learn my lesson the hard way. Bring your own water and enjoy it.

      It’s fine

      Some of the campground seems very nice and some is the exact opposite. Pool is very nice and HUGE. But, there are entire sections of this campground that have just faded into non-existent. The bathrooms aren’t great. There are a lot of stationary campers(or what looks to be…) which isn’t really our favorite site to see. But, it was included with our membership and we aren’t going to leave to go pay for somewhere else.

      Never got response to reservation

      I never had the chance to stay at this site. We’re so disappointed as it seems amazing. My reservation request expired and I never heard from them.

      The reviews in Hipcamp are all so positive but none are newer than Aug 2025. So I wonder if they’re just not booking anymore. Seems strange based on the effusive praise of the host. Hope they’re ok.

      Wanted to leave this review so others are aware that they should have a plan B if they attempt to book this site.

      Warm for March

      Stayed here for one night tent camping. No one in sight in the tent section. Good spot with showers and restrooms. The pool and spa were open.

      Camp Eaton

      Amazing private camp rental through a great organization

      We booked Camp Eaton for our wedding, and we love the camp and staff so much that we've gone back to visit and stayover for special occasions. All of the staff are incredible, just good people. The bookings are only available for groups and you must reserve in advance. It's also a great non-profit org to support!

      The camp can accomodate 120 guests over night through a combination of yurts and cabins. They have their own well, so fresh water is available. Amenities include: large dining hall, kitchen, bathrooms, showers, and laundry. Amazing activites on the grounds include: swimming pool, sports areas, archery area, rock climbing, and even a zipline ride. There is amphitheater with a campfire ring Picnic area with barbecues. The location is a short distance from bouldering near Horseflats and Mt Hillyer and hiking trails including the PCT.

    Guide to Piñon Hills

    Cabin camping near Piñon Hills, California offers access to San Bernardino National Forest terrain at elevations ranging from 4,200 to 5,800 feet. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing while summer days typically reach 80-95°F. Most cabin rentals require advance bookings, especially during holiday weekends when availability becomes limited across the mountain communities.

    What to do

    Hiking at Bonita Falls: From Bonita Ranch Campground, access nearby trails leading to waterfalls within a short distance. "Spaces aren't too close together either. The creek running behind the camp is great to explore, and a waterfall is a short hike away. We also lucked out finding berries in August," notes Jonathan G.

    Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening hours provide the best opportunities to spot local wildlife. "Black bear, deer (wandered through our site), red foxes, Stellar's Jays, woodpeckers, other birds," reports Forest G. from Crystal Lake Recreation Area, listing the animals spotted during their stay.

    Fishing opportunities: Several cabin locations offer fishing access for trout and other species. "There is water, electricity hookups, along with a dump station and separate tent camp spaces," mentions Rick S. about Mojave River Forks Regional Park, which provides water access for fishing.

    What campers like

    Rustic seclusion: Many cabins offer private settings with minimal neighbor interaction. "We ended up in site D47, which seemed a little quieter because it was further from the main road and the sites are well dispersed," shares Forest G. about Crystal Lake Recreation Area's cabin areas.

    Family-friendly amenities: Crystal Lake Recreation Area offers facilities that families appreciate. "There are lots of spacious camping sites, clean bathrooms, running water, numerous shade trees, and a cafe/store for all the things you forgot or for a ice cream treat on a hot day!" reports Chris B.

    Access to natural features: Mountain Lakes Resort provides cabin accommodations with lake proximity. "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," says Harout K.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Mountain cabins experience significant temperature variations. "It was nice and cool a good break from the heat. There are a lot of sites here for camping unfortunately they are not all open for use," mentions Robert A. about summer conditions at Crystal Lake Recreation Area.

    Reservation timing: Booking patterns affect availability at most cabin locations. "We arrived around 4:30 pm (driving from LA it was about 2 hours with traffic), and there were lots of sites still available," notes Forest G. about a Friday arrival at Crystal Lake.

    Environmental impacts: Mojave River Forks Regional Park and other locations maintain strict rules about environmental protection. "We had a great overnight stay at this park. Two other campers were there, and we had no interactions other than waving," shares Jason M. about the park's spacious layout.

    Seasonal closures: Some cabins operate on limited schedules. "It is closed during the winter months, but you can still catch some cooler weather when it first opens during the season," advises Rick S. regarding seasonal operations at Mojave River Forks.

    Tips for camping with families

    Bug protection: Insect activity varies seasonally around cabins. "There are beautiful views of the mountains. Has bathrooms (no flush). Lots of Mosquitoes and bugs. Well worth it. Has a fire pit at each spot," explains Katarina A. about Crystal Lake Recreation Area.

    Noise factors: North Shore Campground cabins experience varied noise levels. "This is a nice site with lots of shade. There is a lovely hiking trail at the far end of the site. There is water, flush toilets, fire pits, and picnic tables. It is a short walk to Lake Arrowhead. Sadly the sites are small with no space between the sites. The noise restrictions after 10pm are not enforced so bring ear plugs," advises Summer A.

    Store access: On-site provisions vary between cabin locations. "We had our kayaks and it is a beautiful lake to kayak. But when it gets windy, know your limits. The campground also has a great store there. It has all the camping necessities," shares Ed E. about North Shore Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Utility reliability: Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon offers cabins with varied utility access. "After some boon docking prior to our arrival, we wanted all the bells and whistles the park boasted they had. Took us just over THREE HOURS to find a decent spot. Many levels to this park and most didn't have a decent WiFi signal," cautions Lori J.

    Site selection strategy: Locations matter for comfort at many cabin rentals. "We stayed down near the welcome center instead of Lot N and the experience didn't even seem like the same RV Park. No loud music, no barking dog, less dust, and dirt," recommends Keisha D. about Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon.

    Transportation considerations: Cabin access often requires navigation planning. "Park is a large TT resort with recently remodeled lodge in 2019. Great place to stay if you are a TT member. Road to resort is windy and narrow but easily manageable with larger RVs," notes Tyler V. about Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon.
