"The charge $10 per person per day to fish in their Lake. And you can’t swim or let the kids play in the lake because it’s a reservoir."
"In the back of a small town 2 miles behind a stater brother's. Most sites are near level on gravel and close together. Laundry uses quarters or a third party app to pay."

"Stone Creek Campground in San Jacinto Mountain State Park is the perfect getaway for coastal Southern California residents."
"I was really excited to head out to this campground/ site because it was a close drive from my home, but far enough away to get up in the mountains."
"Tons of hiking trails and within 30 min drive of major shopping/grocery stores. Big Bear is about an hour away with and awesome drive up the mountain."

"This is one of our family's favorite campgrounds because it's a quick drive from San Diego (and OC) and it gives us our "mountain fix" when we don't have time to drive to the Sierra Mountains."
"It's a lovely campground, and our spot wasn't too far away from the restrooms or the creek. Once Friday afternoon hit though, it did fill up to what felt like near full capacity. "

"The bumpy six mile drive up a dirt road to reach this campground is well worth it. The campground has garbage cans and pit toilets."
"The Campground is set off the main highway about 5 miles and only accessible if have a suv or truck as it is a switchback dirt road. Trailers would not be able to make this trek."
TravelerThe campground sites are a bit slanted and there isn’t much privacy at any of the sites. But the location is nice right next to Idyllwild town. All the sites are mostly in shade among the trees and stay cool in the summer. There are large stall gendered bathrooms with showers and sinks. Seems like a good spot for families. Right next to Idylwild Regional Park.
ScoutWe pulled up and it's anywhere between $6 and $10 to park for the night & it's right on the beach. Beautiful. The public restrooms garbage was overflowing that's the only bad thing about it.
ScoutI gave it one star, not because it is a bad place, but because it is not a campground or an rv park. It is a mobile and manufactured home park with permanent residents and an HOA. You can not pitch a tent there, nor can you pull up an RV and camp for the weekend, or any other length of time for that matter. Nice place to live, but not a place to camp. So, as a campground or RV park, one star because the is no option for zero stars. BTW.. I have lived in Escondido for over 20 years and know the park quite well. Although I have not stayed there, I know for certain that what I am claiming on this review is factual information.
TravelerBeautiful lake with boat, jetski, bicycle, kayak, plus many more Rentals available. Great for fishing, swimming, and boating. Go explore private uninhabited Islands in Lake Perris. A Native American museum of natural history of areas.
ScoutWe’ve stayed here before in their Airbnb camper, this time we brought our own camper and it did not disappoint! The free range animals, creek and play area was all we needed to get back to nature. Like the listing says, sometimes it’s quiet sometimes it’s loud. We always enjoy the sounds of nature so it never bothers us.
ScoutVery cool spot near the harbor. It is a little chaotic trying to find a spot as it’s a first come first serve situation with a lot of people vying for spots and trying to save them for friends. The beach is very crowded but still enjoyable.
They have also raised overnight parking to $50 per night. For me it’s still worth it for proximity to the harbor, but your experience may vary.
LegendYou'll be on the dirt roads for a long time to get to this one, not a bad spot during hunting season. This campground has tree and shade but the surrounding area was burnt out and that is when the fees to stay disappeared. Gets used often by OHV folk, there are water storage ponds not far away with goldfish if you lucky enough to find them. Really quite and you won't find a lot of folks using this campground most of the time. Just a few miles past Big Pine Flats.
LegendJust a couple of minutes from Running Springs on the road to the Children's Forest and up to the Keller Peak Fire Lookout. Each Yellow post is a good distance from each other but the road is close, easy to get to for quick forest getaway.
LegendYou will earn this spot as the drive from Hwy 38 is long and rocky. The final road to the spot is a single lane and others wanting to camp there will not know if it is occupied so you may get to meet so new friends. It is up on the ridge some lots of solitude and views.
