"I had always wanted to visit a ghost town so when this came up in our travel path, we had to stop for a night."
"As other reviewers mentioned, most of the campground is tucked into a narrow sort of canyon just below the Ghost Town."
"It is a bit rough around the edges. Easy to miss the turn because it is on road 15 next to highway 15- yikes. Tough on the road weary. It has a dog run."
"It was very nice except for the sewer drain being at the front end of the site (I had to put an extension on my poop pipe)...the other down side of being in the front is the traffic noise from the highway"
$6 / night
"Have to drive through washboard road for about five miles to get to the campground. Nice site with a trail head to Owl Canyon right by the campground. First come first serve site, but $6 per night."
"Nice level spots with reasonable distance from other campers. The horse campground has no water and is about 1/2 mile from the main campground which has a handful of water stations."
"Easy to use and right next to the road. Quite place. hookups."
"The park is a little distance from the highway, so it's blessedly quiet overall."
"Our space was on the end so we had a lot of privacy but near the I-40. That didn't bother us but it might bother those who are looking for total quiet. The nights were fantastic!! "
"Our near-end site was great for our dogs since no one was booked at the end so we had plenty of space. The space itself was large and we enjoyed the quiet."
$35 / night
"There are several sites at this location that each can hold 5-7 RVs. Each of the sites has a primitive fire ring, but there is no wood in the area, so bring your own."
"I arrived close to 1AM on a Friday and didn't have any trouble getting a prime spot. I originally was planning my trip to a different campground but that was full by the time I got there."
"Located in Afton Canyon, this BLM Campground offers plenty of level sites, compete with concrete picnic tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. There are also pit toilets."
"I did the best I could with finding the exact location on the map using The Dyrt's current capabilities to add a new location. "
GuideRV Park full of residence and full timers. Will accommodate one or more nights. Good place to recharge and do laundry. Everything looks mostly clean and the pool was nice too. Small dog park with real grass.
TravelerClean, relaxing area that gives each party plenty of room. Pet friendly, our three dogs loved it! Staff was incredibly helpful and hard working. Also it was well located as it was a semi-quick drive to a few fun locations. Will be coming again, though I hear it requires a reservation well in advance. This is a very popular location!
GuideBeautiful campground. Clean restrooms and showers. Nice spacious scenic sites. Full hook ups. Big Bear Lake near by, lake level appears to be receding. Bears and coyotes in the area, recommended not to let small dogs or cats roam unattended.

GuideIf you're a active, reservist, national guard, or retired military and desperate for a site with no other option then this might work for you for a day. Reservation can be made up to two months in advance but was able to stay for a night due to emergency situation prior to a white rafting trip the following day. Pets are not allowed anywhere in the facility but have potable water, internet access, toilets, showers. Cabins are also available which is probably nicer accommodation versus pitching the tent out. If you could avoid it, then do and plan well ahead.
RangerThe units were spaced tightly together with a gravel pad and concrete patio. It was $45 but with GoodSam down to $40.50. Old park. Friendly staff. Bathrooms and showers aged but clean. I was told there was cable TV but didn't try it. The pet area was a sandy strip by the fence.
ScoutI wish I could be positive. OK. One positive note, the sun was bright. No obvious maintenance in years. Trees are dead and standing for the most part. The laundry smells of cat pee. The flies have taken over. The tweekers have violent tendencies. The large riverbed homeless encampment is next door. They will not return my deposit or any of my months rent after three days of stay.
TravelerThe campground is a ways into the forest. I'm sure smaller cars could make it but it's not going to be a very comfortable ride.
There are a lot of sites and most were packed the weekend we were there. Lots of families and it wasn't quiet. Lots of pets and it wasn't quiet.
Picnic tables, firepits, the campground manager was on top of people who let their fires get too big.
It's truly a beautiful site though, lots of trails around and some rock climbing as well.
ScoutIt is a bit rough around the edges. Easy to miss the turn because it is on road 15 next to highway 15- yikes. Tough on the road weary. It has a dog run. Near the highway which can be convenient or noisy. Site is nice, bathrooms could use some love.
