The Best Camping Near Santa Margarita, California

We booked 2 other spaces in this area and I liked the location very much... we had some great views, great trails for hiking and I enjoyed the fact that they had an astronomer one of the evenings to star gaze. Down sides were that something went wrong with the bathrooms and we could not shower or use restroom for the last day and a half, no one ever came by to tell us or give us any updates on the inconvenience. We had to use porta potties and it would have been nice that since the bathrooms did not work that the portable toilets were cleaned... the stench was sooo bad, that we ended up leaving at the break of dawn on the last day . There is no reception at all, you have to drive outside of the campsite about 7-10 miles to get reception. The good thing about it was that we all spent time off technology but in case of an emergency it was a bit unnerving. I would go back to this campsite but perhaps another time of year!

Nice location tucked away in the Santa Margarita mountains

Great for young families. There is a pool, jumping pillow, playground, etc. RV spots are on flat, dusty parking areas and are easy to navigate. Very friendly staff. Internet is slow. The lake is 1/2 mile away, so very convenient. The park is loaded with really nice hiking trails. We are enjoying our weekend stay.
