What to do
Waterfall hikes nearby: Crystal Cove State Park offers hiking trails that lead to scenic areas, with the backcountry providing excellent views.

Beach activities: Many cabin locations offer direct beach access for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxation. A reviewer at San Onofre Recreation Beach and Camping mentioned, "This campground is so picturesque! It has a camp store, cabin rentals, and camping spots 10 feet from the sand... The ocean wildlife is so cool, and at low tide you can see octopus, starfish, and all kinds of small fish/crabs."

What campers like
Historic beachfront cottages: The historic cottages at Crystal Cove offer a unique experience with direct ocean access. "Love it at Crystal Cove. Great views, nice trails & beach walks. Great restaurant," says a reviewer of Crystal Cove Beach Cottages. These cottages maintain their vintage appeal while providing basic amenities.
Urban wilderness settings: Despite being in metropolitan areas, some cabin locations offer surprising natural environments. A camper at Canyon RV Park reported, "Been passing this exit on the 91 freeway for 25 years and had no idea canyon RV park was tucked in between corona and yorba linda... I litteraly forgot where i was because its like a little bubble... i felt like i was in the woods."

What you should know
Reservation challenges: Due to high demand, cabin reservations often require advance planning. "The only downside is they lock the gates at 10pm not a minute later," shares a visitor about Crystal Cove, indicating strict enforcement of rules and schedules.
Noise considerations: Urban-adjacent cabin locations may experience traffic or crowd noise. At Millard Trail Camp, a visitor observed, "This campground is not a campground if you want to get away from people because there is a lot of people passing by looking at you. You can't really be isolated or have privacy."
Amenity variations: Cabin facilities vary widely between locations. At Launch Pointe Recreation Destination and RV Park, a guest noted, "They have a great area of vintage trailers that can be rented, as well as some super nice yurts. The restaurant was only open one of the nights we were there. Not impressive." Always verify specific amenities when booking.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for kids: Select cabins near water recreation areas. "We spent Spring break here with the family... Amenities are very good for young kids. Canopy Court area has easy and close access to the splash pad, the playground, a large grass area, and even the pool," reports a family that stayed at Launch Pointe.
Security considerations: Many cabin areas offer enhanced security features. "This place is clean! Like no park I have seen before. The staff are always moving around the grounds and 'picking up' as they go. Quiet hours are strict - some may see that as a bad thing but I appreciate it," notes a family camper at Launch Pointe.
Movie nights: Some locations offer special entertainment. At Newport Dunes RV Resort, "They have activities for the kids like arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course or you can rent paddle boards or watch a movie on the beach," making it suitable for families with children of various ages.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Many cabin locations also accommodate RVs with specific site challenges. "The spots are relatively tight. We reserved a spot for a rig with slide outs on both sides to accommodate our 39'er but it took some creative parking to get the rig into the spot in a way that we could actually open both sides," advises an RV owner who stayed at Launch Pointe.
Seasonal considerations: Water levels and conditions can change throughout the year. "The beach was right there, close and beautiful right on Lake Elsinore. Yet the beach was disgusting, stinky and covered with algae," notes an RVer, highlighting the importance of checking current conditions before booking.
Site amenities: RV sites near cabins often include specific features. "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," shares an RV camper about their experience at nearby campgrounds.
