Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location.

ScoutSite 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.
ScoutHas a security guard that thought she was God or something like that. Never seen anybody or place so petty on the place and still searching for the championship horseshoe pits and I can't stop talking about the dark green of the fishing lakes and the fish swimming on their sides
Travelervery pretty sight the mountain air is incredible. the staff is very helpful and friendly. at night the drunks go crazy and the bears steal their food.
ScoutIt 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.
GuideNice KOA for an overnight stop. The campground is clean, quiet, and well maintained, and the dog park was excellent—our dogs really enjoyed stretching their legs after a long drive. The only issue was the pull-through full-hookup site. The sewer connection was on the wrong (driver's) side and located near the front of the truck, so our standard sewer hose wouldn't reach. We needed about a 30-foot sewer hose to make the connection. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again. Just be prepared if you plan to use the sewer hookup in a pull-through site.
TravelerBeautiful, well maintenance, great experience. So clean.
ScoutThis campground has good amenities, more than most and quite close to shopping and dining. They offer full rv hookups and both 30 and 50 amp sites.
TravelerWhen I booked at the reservation site I screenshot that water and 30 amp power was available at my site. There is NO water hook up. Overall it’s good 7 out of 10. Lots to do within 2 hours of this place. Staying for 6 days.
GuideMy husband and I were just passing through, and I personally wouldn't stay there again. It was very dusty and depressing. There was a dog that had been dumped there, and I could see that the staff had been taking care of it, seemed like good people making the best of a bad area.

Hot springs soaking: The thermal springs near cabins provide natural relaxation opportunities. "The deep creek hot springs were absolutely fabulous, as they were situated next to a cold creek where we could do therapeutic hot cold plunges. The hike to the hot springs was fairly tough, but we found it easily with the trail starting right on the property," explains Jessica B. from Deep Creek Hot Springs Camp Retreat.
Cabin variety: Options range from basic to equipped units. "This place is awesome full hookups lots to do trails and not to mention right on top of the creek. Friendly staff helpful too restrooms r clean showers clean too," shares Sara H. about Bonita Ranch Campground.

Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "We reserved and camped at this beautiful campground back in July of 2018. It was a great experience," shares Ed E. describing his planning for North Shore Campground.
Site spacing concerns: Some campgrounds have limited privacy between units. "Sadly the sites are small with no space between the sites. The noise restrictions after 10pm are not enforced so bring ear plugs. Expect a lot of people walking through your site," advises Summer A.
Access challenges: Many cabin areas require navigation on unpaved roads. "You will have to drive 6 miles of mountainous dirt roads to reach the property, but it takes you away from all signs of the city and surrounds you in nature when you get there, making a very nice camping experience," notes Jessica B. about Mojave River Forks Regional Park.
Kid-friendly activities: Several sites offer organized recreation. "Beautiful views, picnic areas, and plenty of kid-friendly activities make this a great family destination. Nice place to camp, weather is around 75 during the day and about 50 to 36 degrees cold through out the night," reports Martin O. about Rancho Jurupa RV Park.

Full-hookup availability: Several cabin areas also accommodate RVs with services. "We pulled a 27' Travel Trailer from Livermore, CA and picked out the perfect site #94. It was the furthest RV site north of the campground and we had power, water and sewage. It was a lake front campsite so we had a nice view of the lake right in our 'front yard,'" explains Ed E.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. "Porta potties. Not too many amenities. Just what you need to camp right by the shore. Nothing more, nothing less. Our site wasn't super flat," warns Christian N. about Mission RV Park.
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts RV site accessibility. "This is a fairly nice place to camp. I would avoid camping here during the summer since it does get very hot. 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. about Mojave River Forks Regional Park.
