    Pineknot

    Pineknot Campground, Big Bear Lake, Ca

    A bit challenging to locate via Google Maps... Just go up (south) Summit Blvd, when you get to the parking lot of the ski resort, veer towards the left, and just past a concrete wall, you'll see the little Pineknot Campground sign attached to an aluminium pole. The campground is very cozy, countless tall pine trees, clean bathrooms, clean sites, water from taps, no hookups, and not for big rigs. The hosts are friendly, but strict! No generators from 8 pm to 8 am, a $3000 fine if your campfire is left unattended, and no rowdy obnoxious behavior is tolerated! We appreciated the rules, and thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful, quiet, deep in the woods getaway!!

    Barstow-Calico KOA

    Beautiful desert site

    I had to change my reservation three times, and the staff was incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to give us the easiest possible stay. The campground itself was reasonably clean with a gorgeous view of the desert and mountains. Sites laid out well and most are pull through and accommodate big rigs. Pool, laundry, general store, showers and lavatories. They did not however have the shuttle to the silver mine as advertised (ended with Covid) and the Enterprise rental in Barstow does not “pick you up“ and were rude besides.

    Shady Lane RV Camp

    A Handy Desert Stop

    Traveling while pulling my utility trailer along makes slow going. And pulling up a long, long, long desert mountain grade can be downright exhausting.

    So this is a mighty grateful thumbs up review. Robert made my day when I phoned up in the late afternoon and offered me a limited use rate on one their full hookup sites.

    And of course, I got in real late, just after late closing hours–10 pm!

    I got the last pull through site at the end of the lane. It was a breeze to pull in, get my deep cycle battery charging. 30 Amp with an adapter is all I need.

    Shady Lane is mostly populated by real big rigs. So a 50amp socket is also on the post.

    The park is a little distance from the highway, so it's blessedly quiet overall. After a grueling pull from Las Vegas, it was a wonderful blessing to crawl into my tent with my feline road companion, Missy. She just loves tent camping the very best. It was down in the 40s last night, but our traveling bed is a cushy cloud ☁️ from Heaven 🌠🌌✨ Just me and Missy and all those stars on that dark desert night.

    Just woke to a lovely quiet morning here at Shady Lane. Fully renewed, to make my long drive down towards San Diego.

    Looks they offer all the basics, showers, laumdry, and the same wifi network is offered all over these desert parts.. So once signed up, its the same login wherever you go on this network.. That's handy. Great wifi signal all the way down at the end of the lane, too.

    Most importantly, Shady Lane offers tent spots and doesn't get snooty about whether you're pulling a utility trailer, or a spit shined mega-rig. On the phone, when I spoke with Robert, told him what I'm pulling along, he was as nice as can be.

    I'm glad I found this quiet little desert overnighter. 🏜 Just right for Missy and me.

    Shady Lane RV Camp

    Not what the picture shows.

    The 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.

    Lighthouse Trailer Resort & Marina

    Good stay

    Little family owned RV spot— some long termers. Everyone super nice. Big spot, shade of trees, walk down to lake. Full hookup. 7 minutes to big bear lake town. Hiking trails out front gate. Probably not big rig friendly.

    Sawtooth Canyon Campground

    Great, and free

    This is a great BLM campground, FREE, individual sites with varying levels of privacy and levelness, no reservations. Each site has a shade structure, table, fire pit, and grill. There are pit toilets but no other amenities. No water and no trash service- please pack your trash out! We had to pick up after some other campers which is just so dumb to have to do. There was a camper there who looked like they had set up for long term residency, and the sheriff came by and kicked them out.

    This is also a big rock climbing destination so you’ll have climbers coming in for the day as well. There are some “dispersed” type sites in the brush area so if you show up and all the spots are taken, you can sleep in one of those spots in a pinch until morning. We were there in late December and there were only a couple of other campers, and then again in early January and it was busy on weekends but quiets down during the week. 

    The road coming in is 1.6 miles of washboard and some big dips, but it’s doable. Cell service is very spotty throughout the campground. Parts of decent ATT or Verizon service, and parts have zero. Lots of hikes and trails and places to walk and scramble.

    North Shore Campground - Lake Almanor

    Beautiful Camping near Lassen Volcanic National Park

    We reserved and camped at this beautiful campground back in July of 2018. It was a great experience. We pulled a 27' Travel Trailer from Livermore, CA and picked out the perfect site #94. It was the furthest RV site north of the campground and we had power, water and sewage. It was a lake front campsite so we had a nice view of the lake right in our "front yard" :-) We had a picnic table and a fire pit for our use.
    The fishing was awesome, but I suggest fishing in the mornings before the afternoon winds come in as the weather cools down. We had our kayaks and it is a beautiful lake to kayak. But when it gets windy, know your limits :-)
    The campground is close to the Lassen Volcanic National Park. We took a drive there for a visit and it was spectacular. 
    The campground also has a great store there. It has all the camping necessities. If you are into hiking and biking, this campground has the accommodations for that activity. It also has a kid's park.  They also have cabins if you do not want to use a tent or RV.

    Barstow-Calico KOA

    Barstow KOA

    We needed a place to stay for our last 2 nights on the road before going home after the place we reserved was not a good fit for our 40 ft Allegro Bus. We called and they had a perfect spot for us for the 2 days. It's clean and quiet here and right off the freeway. We couldn't hear the freeway from our RV. We were so glad we found the KOA. Pull throughs that fit our 40ft plus tow. There's gravel but flat so leveling isn't difficult with the blocks. Plenty of room, some spots with trees and some bushes. Our 4 slide outs fit with no problem.

    Arabian RV Oasis

    A place to stay if you must.

    Full hookups, concrete pads, picnic tables. Many full time campers parked with junk around them. The grounds need a ton of cleanup. Not the safest feeling being in this park.


Guide to Yermo

RV camping options near Yermo, California provide convenient access points for travelers exploring the Mojave Desert region. Located at approximately 2,000 feet elevation, the area experiences dramatic temperature fluctuations with summer highs regularly exceeding 110°F and winter lows occasionally dropping below freezing. Cell service quality varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger coverage closer to major highways and weaker signals in outlying areas.

What to do

Desert exploration: Newberry Mountain RV Park provides a strategic location for desert exploration with unique water features. "The lakes here give it a nice feel since it's in the Mojave desert between Barstow and Ludlow California," notes one camper. The park offers "a swimming pool that looked clean" and "two ponds" that create unexpected water features in this arid landscape.

Historic Route 66 tours: Staying at rv parks near Yermo makes exploring historic Route 66 attractions accessible. "The campground was super easy to find as it was right off I-40 on old Route 66," writes a visitor. "The old caboose, the Hwy 66 hotel mural, and the ducks around the pond were a nice touch."

Mountain excursions: When temperatures climb too high in Yermo, consider a day trip to Keller Peak Yellow Post Campsites. "Hike up to the watch tower and check out all the hummingbirds," suggests one visitor. These sites offer "tons of land to hike, on or off trail" with "geocaching sites nearby."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: RV campers near Yermo appreciate campgrounds that provide adequate spacing. "Our space was on the end so we had a lot of privacy," reports one camper at Newberry Mountain. Another visitor to Shady Lane RV Camp notes, "The sites are tight, but far enough apart for good air and personal separation."

Night sky viewing: The desert location provides excellent stargazing opportunities. A Shady Lane camper recalls, "Just me and Missy and all those stars on that dark desert night." The minimal light pollution creates ideal conditions for astronomy enthusiasts.

Convenient locations: Many appreciate the accessibility of Yermo rv parks from major highways. "We were only here one night but we had a nice stay," writes one visitor. "Located perhaps 3/4 mile from the interstate, it is shielded from its noise," reports another, highlighting the balance between highway proximity and peaceful settings.

What you should know

Military base access restrictions: Military Park Barstow Marine Corps Logistics Base Oasis RV Park has specific entry requirements. "This area is an active military installation and reserved for armed services members and their families only," clarifies one reviewer. "I.D. is required to get on base. Once that is done the office is in building 185 and check is is super easy."

Desert weather preparation: Summer temperatures frequently make outdoor activities challenging. "It was 120° when I got there so the pool felt really good," reports one camper. Winter nights can get surprisingly cold, with one visitor noting, "Due to the expected freeze warning, we did not hook up to the water or sewer."

Limited dump station access: Finding places to empty holding tanks requires planning. "We stopped here to use their dump and fill our water tanks, and were directed to the Flying J south of town," reports a visitor. "The staff person told me that all the RV parks in this area operate this way."

Tips for camping with families

Pool access considerations: During summer months, having swimming options is critical for families. "The best part for me was the pool which was clean and cool," notes a visitor to Newberry Mountain RV Park. "A nice pool and two ponds" provide relief from the heat for children.

Kid-friendly attractions: Holloway's Marina & RV Park offers unique activities for families. "The RV Park is co-located with a marina on the lake offering boat rentals and cruises on their Pirate Ship," explains a visitor. "We rented a boat on Saturday and was great just to walk out on the dock with the kids. 4 hr rental was just enough."

Recreational planning: Timing outdoor activities is crucial with desert temperatures. Early morning and evening hours provide more comfortable conditions for family activities. "The nights were fantastic!" reports a camper, indicating the importance of adjusting recreation schedules around temperature patterns.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling requirements: High Noon Saloon RV Park provides basic amenities but requires preparation. "It's a dirt lot nothing is paved," reports a visitor. At Newberry Mountain, "The pad was a little off level. Had to block one side."

Electrical capacity planning: Understanding your power needs is essential. "We have a 265bh transcend and parked it in a site on the water," reports a camper. "Had to disconnect and park on the side of this gravel site," notes another, highlighting space constraints.

Alternative routes: When approaching with larger rigs, route selection matters. "Make sure you take the back way up the mountain. It's no joke pulling a trailer up there," advises an experienced RVer. Careful navigation planning helps avoid challenging road segments, particularly during peak traffic periods on I-40 and I-15.
