San Gorgonio

Lots of shaded sites with a pleasant hiking trail between the two loops, at a great elevation. It's close to the highway and probably loud most of the time, but the road to Big Bear was still closed after the big storm so it was pleasant. The real problem is how expensive it is for how little service they provide. The electrical outlets in the bathrooms have all been covered/removed, and on Monday (of a three-day weekend) one of the bathrooms was locked just so they wouldn't have to service it. This was after a long period on Sunday when two bathrooms didn't have a single square of toilet paper. Interesting how different this is from Barton Flats half a mile away, which actually lets you plug in a hairdryer (or charge your phone) and wipe your butt for $35 plus fees.

Nice easy spot to camp with family and friends. The bathrooms are pretty clean and the showers are nice and hot.

With the highway shut down (just east of the campground), the area is dead quiet. We were the only people in the campground one night and the other two nights there were only a couple other occupied sites. It was ideal. The showers were always hot and the campground water was delicious to drink. The campground is very clean and maintained. The camp host was friendly and helpful. I love camping in late September, known as the Indian summer. The air is warm during the day and crisp from sunset to dawn.

It's very peaceful , With a lot of ponderosa and jeffrey pines and oaks. We went during the week and it was very quiet. We stayed in sites 43 and 44. They were very, very good. Plenty roomy and and somewhat private. A small complaint would be that there is not a lot to do besides relaxing and going on a couple of small hikes.

Site 30 felt very much away from everyone. We loved our very quiet and peaceful stay. Furthermore anytime a National Forest campground has running water, flush toilets and showers, as far as I'm concerned it darn close to glamping. A perfect rural peaceful experience.

Our experience was terrible. Highway 38 was closed below and above the campground and we were not able to gain access. We had to drive 100 miles to finally end up in the City of Joshua Tree. It was awful.

The camp host was exceptional

Very cool campsite however people can be loud at night. The host is good about keeping it down after 10pm.

Easy to navigate site design, ample time to fill out reservations, clear refund policies.

I stayed at site 23 on a Wednesday and Thursday night - both to avoid the crowds and because the weekend reservations were all booked up. Nice spacious site, not too far from or too close to water or the restroom. I didn't have any immediate neighbors to my left/right or directly across, so it felt very private and spacious at the same time. Camp Host was excellent, attentive, and a highlight of my stay. She was there when I arrived and had firewood bundles in the back of her cart for me to purchase at my site. Didn't try the showers. Site 23's picnic table and tent area were sunny in the late morning, but I expected that, and the neighboring site was no different. I'll come back again for a mid-week camp.
