Green Valley

Great site with excellent shade, perfect for our family of 3 and dog. Clean bathroom. Host was very nice.

Site #15 has a raven family occupying one of the larger Ponderosa Pines. This meant some (very) unhappy parents when the fledgling fell and small maggots falling from their nest all over camp. Upon arrival, all restrooms were out of order and no water was available at the spigots. The camp hosts did not come around to explain, we had to speak to site neighbors and work together to find a spigot which still worked. Rumor was that some toilet ran all night and drained the well? Not sure, since once again, did not get to speak with the camp hosts despite going down to their trailer to find out. Thankful the general store had jugs of water for sale and we only stayed 2 days. I love this camp ground and the surrounding area, just was disappointed in this trip.

Very friendly and helpful camp host and the campgrounds, are clean and very
nice and I love the nearby lake I have been to Green Valley Lake before, and I will return again,
I also have other campsites that I also enjoy going to, has well

lovely place, great spot in the lovely place, nice easy hikes.

Great site location. Wonderful host, very personable and helpful.

Trailer camped here last few days before it's closure in October as I do every year. However, this year (2019) campfires, even in designated firepits, were prohibited for the last few days of the season. I had brought some different meats to BBQ but was forced to pan fry them over propane stove. Went to bed early every night as it was too cold to sit out under the stars without a campfire. Also, cold in the mornings until coffee was ready and sun had a chance to come over the mountains. A campfire would have made my experience more like truley camping. I think, since it was the last weekend, Calfire could have let us have campfires even if just charcoal. I live in these mountains and think fires would have been fine if camp host had just monitored their size. However, camp hosts were very helpful and nice. Hope the same hosts return in 2020.

Very nice grounds and very nice people

Clean campsite and restrooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Cute lake nearby

We stayed in a group site with friends, and loved the location as well as the camp host. There was plenty of flat space for multiple tents, and the kids loved a small (think SMALL) “creek” that collected into a hole on our site. The only downside was that the site is on the edge of the campground and runs along a dirt road (that was closed) but still had motorbikes and jeeps going on it regardless (and a couple brazen ones coming through our site to get out since the gate on the road was closed). Otherwise our experience was great and we will definitely be back to this site!

The campground is very well maintained. The bathrooms were clean, with flush toilets, running water, and lights. The sites themselves don't have water, but there were faucets all over the campground so you could fill up a jug and take it back to your site. Bear lockers are installed at every site. The hosts were very nice, and sold firewood at their trailer. There was no AT&T cell service at the site, but there was a few miles down the road.

The location is great - half way between Big Bear and Arrowhead. For off-roaders like myself, the Big Pine Flats trail starts just a couple miles down the road. The camp is about a mile past the village of Green Valley Lake, which has a small market and a restaurant. A few miles further is Arrowbear, which has a couple very well stocked markets and gas stations. Running Springs is a few more miles down the road, and has all the services you would need in a small town.

I stayed in Site #1. While it is closest to the road, it's well isolated in it's own private little grove. Parking for the site is quite a distance from the site itself (unlike other sites in the camp), but it is worth it for the privacy - plus there is a foot path between the site and the road for easier access.

All in all, an excellent campground in an ideal location. I'll be going back again.
