"The trees are massive and plenty and make you feel like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of California."
"The campground overall is really pretty and in a great location in Lake Arrowhead. However, we made the mistake of booking site 005, which is right on a ridge... it was SO windy."
$45 - $350 / night
"Silverwood Lake was just that. Lush green mountains in the back drop that surrounded every view you turned to take in. "You need to recharge your batteries!""
"ATV with ice cream and firewood comes around right before dark. Campsites are a bit crowded for my liking. Access to the Silverwood Lake recreation area is a great benefit."
$44 - $91 / night

$33 - $67 / night

"We arrived at Hanna Flat campground around 11 am on Friday, August 21. First thing about the campground is that the road to get to it is pretty rough."
$29 - $58 / night
"Spaces are pretty close together and small, but we got lucky and didn’t have anyone around us (likely due to bad air quality). If you kayak this is a great place to camp, it’s right next to the lake."

"Views are worth it and this is so conveniently located next to Santa's Village.
Will definitely be coming back again sooner than later!"
"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."
"Close to the city but far enough away from the lights. There is a ton of stuff to do here. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, water slides, disc golf, bike trails. The RV spots are beyond huge!"

"Fun off-road adventure to get to the site. Minimal sites so not much crowding."
"Tons of land to hike, on or off trail. Geocaching sites nearby. The Keller Peak Lookout was amazing."

"Searching for reviews or pictures of that site, there were comments about it being too close to other sites, too close to the road, too close to houses, etc."
"All are well distanced, easy to setup in and there is a running water faucet for clean outs. Tucked kinda away and 40 minutes from Big Bear Lake it's not the most convenient place to be."
ScoutI strongly urge you to camp or rent your watersports anywhere else than this place!! The staff here have shown me numerous times over the past few weeks that they don't care about you or your vacation needs!!
ScoutAwesome quiet campground for a more “dispersed” camping feel. Dispersed due to the fact there’s only a few water spigots at select sites and the bathroom were a hike from our spot. We took site #20, it was little bit of a trek from the parking spot to our camp, but the site was extremely spacious and secluded. We decided 4 stars because the forest service failed to post our reservation for site #06 (which has the best view but not much shade). We were here mid July on a Thursday and there were only 2 other sites occupied. Beware the unreal amount of mosquitos.
ScoutArrived at 2;30 pm. Windy. I wanted a place where I could let Bella off leach, so I put it in 4 wheel drive to pull my TAB trailer. Found a good spot. I can see other bigger rigs they did not require 4x4. Interesting view. If your headed north on I15 do not take thirst access road. Almost a 4x4 road.
RangerGreat spot with beautiful hikes! We were there with a larger group for a scout trip and it was great. Lots of room for our tents.
GuideNice spot, close to road with shade from the trees
TravelerYellow Post #2 – San Bernardino National Forest Secluded, free, first-come-first-served tent site tucked deep in the forest near Hemet, CA. No amenities—no toilet, water, or trash—so pack in and out. Fire ring and picnic table on-site. Shaded by mature trees with a dirt/sand/rock surface. Site fits up to 8 people and 2 vehicles.
Access road is rough and rocky but doable in dry conditions with a careful 2WD. Signage is limited—offline maps recommended. Site sits near a dry creek bed and has a short walk to a west-facing boulder with expansive views of the valley.
Wildlife includes deer, lizards, snakes, woodpeckers, and lots of squirrels. Mosquitoes come out at dusk—repellent is a must. Fire bans usually in effect during summer. Great for quiet retreats, hiking, light climbing, and off-grid solitude.
A rugged but rewarding forest stay for self-sufficient campers.
TravelerI am low-income and sometimes I can't reserve additional nights until I get paid in the afternoon. The rest of the employees at Lake Perris campgrounds had no problem with me, always polite, and welcoming. I was contacted 12 times by this deputy for minuscule infractions, several of them before checkout ⏲️ time.
TravelerNot all capsicum are flat, but the park is always beautiful and full of life, birds, squirrels, coyotes, Bobcats. Great place for solo camping, couples, or groups.
LegendHeartbar is the largest campground off of the 38, lots of sites and far enough from the road to be very quite. Access to a lot of hiking and dirt roads, hike to San Gorgonio, drive up to Coon Creek Cabin, or just relax
