I love this campground. Its within 10-15 minutes to a grocery or restaurant. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. Its also a very well kept campground. Ive been camping here for about over 10 years. I will be back!

@MustafaT843E2F · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #14

Camp host was friendly and helpful. Site was beautiful. Some shade. Lots of sun. Great spot to view fireworks. Close to shopping and restaurants. Beautiful trees and great hiking trail.

Loved it here!Our camp host was so nice and attentive!Restrooms were always cleaned! Will come again!

@AudreyZ3B17C6D · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very clean camp host was amazing and checked in on us.

@CliffY40583070 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #10

This area was 50% shaded, which was perfect for us. When we went in April, there were plenty of silkworms streaming down from the trees, so be aware! Or camp host was very nice and kind, we had an issue with someone taking our camping spot, but he went around asking each site for us and resolved the situation with no problems.Firewood is $8 a bundle, but it's better to burn wood that was gathered closest to the area. The bathrooms are close, but not close enough to hear anyone using it. They are very clean!I'll definitely be coming back to this campground in the future!

@PatrickM390922 · Camped on Sep 24, 2023 at Campsite #22

Very relaxing stay. Campsite was great, and the camp host was very attentive. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away for a few days.

@JoseG1304798 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #18

Great site with great views. The spot for your tent and fire pit is a short maybe 30-40 yard hike down the hill, but that makes for good spacing between neighbors. Just be aware of that if you sleep in your vehicle. Decent bathrooms, drinkable water near the site, and the views make for a great visit. Awesome host too.

@RebeccaC264620 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #25

The camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean (though there is no hand soap, so bring your own!), but our site did not have any shade and was on a slight slant.

@NereidaA128740 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #20

We really enjoyed our first camping experience here. Host was great and helped us with any questions we had. We will definitely come back.

@EvaLF7546E6CDA · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #5

The campground was good, and very clean. Host was great. And we enjoyed time at Lake Gregory, which was about 30 minutes away.

@johnj3134199 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #19

space was very roomy

@YalitzeCE5A741 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #4

Host Dennis was a great help! Tried to find him at the end but wasn't able to say thank you in person. Thank you Dennis!!! We will be back

@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #26

spaces are very good

@AndreaP9571578 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #19

We were at site 19. It was a nice place with some shade, close to bathrooms, and decent parking spot. When we arrived the camp host was off duty , well according to his sign. It was our first time there and I just wanted to ask for some sort of map or guidance (like they offer at Big Bear) and his initial response was “I’m off duty “ when I was approaching him. Then, I guess he felt bad because he was rude and offered to give me directions. The camp site next to is #20 was up all hours of the night so I m not sure if quiet hours are enforced. It didn’t help that the camp host joined them . If it wasn’t for the fact that my kids love camping -I would have left after that first night. We did see ground moles , deers, blue jays and some lizards. Other than that it was an ok experience for my kids and I.

@IvanG2580487 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #9

Very nice campground and clean restrooms (no handsoap or paper towels, so bring your own!) Friendly camphost! The nearby trail (I think its called North Shore National Recreation Trail) was overgrown. I came here a few years ago and the trail was not overgrown. Also, Lake Arrowhead is a private lake. We were able to visit Lake Gregory about 11 miles away. Great time overall. Definitely recommend!

@IanW4277699 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #22

Great location! The campsite site itself felt secluded due to the surrounding trees and bushes between our site and other sites. We found a nearby playground for the kids to play in, and we also found a dog park nearby for the dogs to run off-leash. Plus there's a nice trail down to a creek big enough to swim in. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to come back!

@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #18

Pinnacles hike is very nice

@MichaelT862538 · Camped on May 17, 2023 at Campsite #26

It's always adequate.

@AzucenaR6FE626 · Camped on May 12, 2023 at Campsite #22

I took my wife and I here for Mother’s Day weekend and we had an amazing time, the area is beautiful and the restrooms were pretty clean for a campsite. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the campsites are too close together, I felt like anyone talking could be heard by the next campsite over and it made it somewhat uncomfortable.

@HueN4A581F27C5 · Camped on May 5, 2023 at Campsite #19

Excellent

@JohnnyY764F6DF · Camped on May 3, 2023 at Campsite #9

Had the place all to myself when I went. Got some snow in the next morning. Camp host was a nice guy, showed me to my site.

@DanielE7671140 · Camped on Sep 30, 2022 at Campsite #5

Great place to camp, clean restrooms, clean grounds, camp host was very helpful and gave us good info, will definitely come back

@joshuaa5803700 · Camped on Sep 30, 2022 at Campsite #4

I don't know to much about camping this was my first time but this was an excellent space for beginners like me brought three people and everyone was pleased with it restrooms were clean and it's away from all the rush of a big city

@JustinP9530522 · Camped on Sep 8, 2022 at Campsite #18

Great spot! “Near” civilization, but still away enough to be really out camping. The host was very kind and helpful too!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
