We stayed at site 23 and it was perfect! The campground is beautiful and clean. Our site had a level spot for our tent, fire pit and grill. The campground has clean restrooms with flush toilets. Gina, the camp host was super friendly. The only con was the ability to purchase additional firewood in the evening if you run out. Just be sure to purchase some early in the day, otherwise you have to drive into town (only like a 3 min drive). Big Bear village was a nice spot to visit during the day. The campground was quiet and peaceful.

The host was very helpful. Wood can be bought on site, but bring exact cash. Trails nearby that arent on Alltrails. Very cold at night in October. So bring more blankets than you think you would need if in a tent. Bathrooms on site were very clean for a campsite

Have stayed here many times and has always been a great experience. Only one time I was irritated because a camping group had 2 dogs that constantly barked all day long. Bathrooms are very clean and fully stocked. I just want to give a shout out to the short haired girl that works there (sorry I never got her name), she is always hard working and very friendly and remembered me from previous stays. She is awesome!!!! Campground close shopping if needed and not too far from lake.

We come here several times a year and have for the past several years. Always a great experience. Our new hosts, Gina and Anthony, are exceptional. Super friendly, helpful, campgrounds clean. Can't say enough about them. Looking forward to seeing them again next year.

Love the campground. It was quiet and neighbors weren't very close. This site doesn't have a good spot for a large tent. Kind of on a slope. Right next to restrooms and water spigot so that was a plus.
