site #7 has a nice flat ground. Dogs barking at night is the only negative. The trail is hard but I like that dogs are allowed.

The campground was nice and there were great hiking trails. The only disappointment was no fires.

Nice and quiet campground very close to Temecula. Easy to get in and out. Sites are reasonable size and easy for tent campground or use of a small RV.

Campground is lovely, but we should have been notified that campfire interdiction had been extended through December.
I think that when campgrounds are running with reduced resources, such as no fires, no water, etc., fees should also be reduced.

Plentiful very old oaks and sycamores shade a hidden gem just off Hwy 79 SE of Temecula. Driving there from the North you feel you must have chosen an RV park near a Walmart, but soon the topography changes, as does the road--from 6 lanes to 2 and suddenly there is a hard right turn into the campground. The sites are widely spaced and the one-lane road meanders around and then up a slight rise and doubles back, with two turnarounds. The trailhead is at the end of the campground and offers two trails 1 moderate and 1 strenuous. The toilets are vault and extraordinarily well maintained. Water faucets are plentiful. The camp host Jim is friendly and helpful. Great campground for a serene stay, not too far from the amenities of Temecula.

I was unaware that we would hear dogs barking all night long. I will not stay here again simply because the dog barking from the next property over was not expected. If there were electrical so I could drown out the dogs we might return, but part of
our enjoyment of camping is hear nature at night.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
