The site was nice - lots of trees and good shade. We were far enough from the highway that we could barely hear it. The bathrooms are pit toilets with no running water (no sink), but there is water available nearby the campsite. Several birds were out in the morning and it was fun to watch them. We got a good view of the stars at night, but there was some light pollution from Temecula. Overall, it was the experience we were looking for.

This campground was very pretty, and has a great location. You can hear the main road, but it didn't bother me. A lot of of the camp spots barely have enough flat ground to fit one tent. The most spacious with flat tent spots are spots 4, 6, 8, and 7. Seven is a double occupant site. On Friday morning, there were several groups of bros walking to the trailhead at the back of the campground between 5 am and 5:30 am. They were being VERY loud and woke me up whenever they passed. Although I'm glad to hear about their plans to hike "rim-to-rim" and all about their golf game, there should be signs that tell hikers to be quiet and considerate in early hours of the morning.

Nice site and met host who was nice. Bathrooms clean. Would be nice to have some pics of the the sites, because some are super exposed and some have shading and more secluded. Picnic table was warped and almost unusable without resting some rocks under it. Would use DS again but would choose a few other sites below in the shade, knowing that they'd probably have more drive by traffic.

Lovely camp ground , only a 10 minute drive from the shops but you felt completely alone in the camp-ground with limited cell service (a plus for me!). The toilets were clean and the water was running well. One thing that I found odd was that the other campers were quite shy - they seemed confused when I went out of my way to smile at them and say hello just for the sake of being friendly. My friend told me this was not unusual for Riverside County so maybe I was the strange one... Anyway the scenery more than made up for it. At the end of the campsite you can join 2 different trails or you can walk across the road to see the lake (not accessible publicly by car.) Would recommend !

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.
