"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. "
"Plus, there are a lot of open spaces in the campground and some small trails with cool views and lots of amenities."
"We really enjoyed the drive up Idylwild, beautiful scenery. I think the sites are a bit too close to each other, I would prefer more space between sites."
TravelerWe stayed on a side very close to the main road because we didn't know the "real" ubication is way more down the road, it's like 50m from the main road, therefore easily accessible also with a bigger vehicle, but very calm as there is not much traffic at night.
ScoutIs a bit noisy. Almost full with long term tenants. Still possible to show up and find empty spot.
ScoutThe road up to the camp area is a bit rough. We were in a Sprinter and definitely nervous for parts. But, it was worth it once we got there! It's secluded and has enough trees for a hammock. Our kids loved being able to explore, but they were covered in sand/dirt by the end of the trip.
GuideI will never book to stay here or another Thousand Trails property again. You cannot choose your site or even move when the campground is completely empty. The gave me a terrible spot, which was small, covered in pine cones, on a slope and next to weirdos playing loud music and an aggressive pit bull. Checked out early and found a much more inviting place.
RangerBig Pines Flats is set right next to a meadow at a forest crossing heading to Holcomb Valley, Victorville, Fawnskin, and Green Valley Lake. There are shooting ranges, OHV trails, Jeep trails, hiking, you name it. popular campground and is suited more for tenting or overland types.
TravelerCamp host Bob was so sweet
RangerMultiple free camping spots from the Y up to Fish Creek all the way to Coon Creek Cabin. 1st spots on the left are big rig friendly, you do have about a mile of dirt road before you get to them. Many spots that fill on the weekend quickly, road gets rougher the more you continue up to the cabin, if you have a bigger trailer and don’t find any spots in the first few locations turn around. Camping is designated with a “Yellow Post” and can be found on both sides of the road. You will need a campfire permit to have a fire when permitted, you can get them online from San Berdoo Forest.
TravelerIt was Memorial Day weekend pretty busy but camp site was nice rented pontoon boat just a walk from park all in all good time
ScoutWe were in Serrano for 2 night past Memorial Day and it was wonderful. The campsites are clean, have clean bathrooms/shower access, and they sell firewood for $10. Town is only 10 minutes away for groceries and other necessities. There isn’t a lot of privacy and noise travels but past 10pm everyone quiets down. Would go again!
