Water recreation at Launch Pointe: Visitors can enjoy the splash pad, playground, and seasonal pool. One camper noted, "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."

A visitor mentioned, "We have just camped to relax, Kayak, fish, and play Disk Golf. They always keep their bathrooms and porta potties clean! Their campsites are well maintained and clean as well!"
Mini golf at Temecula-Vail Lake KOA: The campground maintains a mini golf course free for guests, along with horseshoes and disc golf. As one reviewer shared, "Ideal for family fun. Free mini golf, horseshoes, disc golf and pool area with 3 pools, one specific for kids. Golf cart friendly."
Wildlife viewing near Via Del Gavilan: The private cabin rental offers mountain viewing opportunities with potential sightings of hawks, deer, and other wildlife.

What campers like
Easy beach access at San Onofre Recreation Beach: Military-affiliated campers appreciate the beachfront location. "We tent camped here. The sites are TIGHT and the campground crowded. BUT, the tent spots are ocean front. It was wonderful! So for that I could overlook the crowded sites."
Entertainment options at Vail Lake: Many campers enjoy the full-service amenities including the on-site bar. "Funnily, we learned that KOA raccoons have impeccable manors, and leave very little trace after delicately choosing dinner from the bin, unlike the wild raccoons we encounter on BLM land. I'll post a video of them."
Clean facilities at Launch Pointe Recreation Destination: The campground maintains high cleanliness standards. "Launch Pointe was a great stay for our family and dog! Check in was very speedy. The campground was clean as can be- no overflowing garbages, all utilities tastefully hidden. The privacy fence in each spot is nice and our kids loved the playground."
Spacious sites at Rancho Jurupa: The campground offers large, well-maintained sites. "Great park. It may not seem nice when you are passing through town to get in, but once you enter the gates it's beautiful. Large concrete pads, easy backing in and hooking up. Lots of grass, great place to camp in groups."
What you should know
Fire restrictions at Moro Campground: Wood and coal fires are prohibited. "No coal or wood fires. Kind of a bummer since your evening ends early. You can bring propane pits yourself for fires though. Also, it can get extremely cold at night in the canyons, even if it's in the high 80s during the day."
Weather considerations at Lake Hemet: Winter camping requires preparation for freezing temperatures. "Bring insulation for your water hose or have some type of method that will keep your water lines from freezing. Our water hose froze the first night."
Cell service and WiFi at camping cabins: Connectivity varies significantly by location. At Vail Lake, "We have solar so choose Arroyo Secco at first. We live/work out of the RV during the Covid pandemic, so we bought a cell booster and WiFi relay, but even they couldn't make any use of the provided WiFi."
Environmental concerns: Several locations have seasonal issues. At Wilderness Lakes, "The park has gotten lots better since dairy farm has moved but still has a bit of fly problem due to close by chicken farms and watermelon fields that they let fruit rot last summer!"
Tips for camping with families
Best cabin options for children: Lake Hemet offers family-friendly cabin rentals with lake access. "We had the best time here! The lake with all the blow up toys was a blast! The section we were in only had a volt potty but there were showers there in another section. Every site has a picnic table and fire ring."
Kid-friendly activities at Wilderness Lakes: The resort offers multiple child-focused amenities. "We enjoyed the pool, watching the ducks in the pond, and the kids loved the basketball court. Some parts closed on certain days- store, jacuzzi, community room."
Quiet camping areas: Request specific cabin locations for more peaceful stays. At Wilderness Lakes, "Stayed at Wilderness Lakes for a weekend and was surprised at how peaceful it was compared to how crowded it was. Other campers and staff were friendly and helpful during our stay."
Safety considerations: Some campgrounds enforce strict rules for family safety. "Launch Pointe was a great stay for our family and dog! The campground was clean as can be- no overflowing garbages, all utilities tastefully hidden. The privacy fence in each spot is nice and our kids loved the playground."
Tips from RVers
Site selection at Guajome Regional Park: Research specific sites before booking. "Campground is about 10 miles inland from the coast. There is a bike trail from the campground all the way to the beach. This is a San Diego County park with nice walking and mountain biking paths. There is also a small lake."
Setup considerations at Launch Pointe: The sites require careful planning for larger RVs. "Only arguments - 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."
Electrical needs at Vail Lake: Plan your electrical needs accordingly. "They don't have enough 50amp sites and not all of them are always working. This park is first come/first served and they don't prohibit a 30amp rig from taking a 50amp site, so you can see the problem."
Campground amenities: Consider which cabin camping options provide full hookups versus basic amenities. "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. Campers were playing music, laughter echoes through camp ground but nothing too loud and all quiet later."
