BEAUTIFUL large campground within walking distance of the village and moonridge. Nice spacious sites with picnic tables, barbeques, and campfire rings. Looking forward to going again.

Nice little campground within Big Bear town and close to Big Bear Lake. Lots of fun activities for all ages. Clean restrooms and water spigots not far from campsites.

Great campsite, right on the outskirts of town so it's not very remote but it still feels like you're in the wilderness for the most part. Most sites are well-spaced. Space 22 is near a water spigot and the bathrooms, but not too near, and far enough away from adjacent campgrounds. However, there wasn't anywhere with kevel ground for the tent so I had to sleep on a bit of an angle, no biggie though.

Love this campground. Each site is situated far enough away from each other to feel like you're actually in the woods. Sometimes you just want a bit of seclusion and privacy when camping. The on site staff person was also really friendly and helpful. Bathrooms could use a bit of cleaning. Keep in mind, there are no showers.

The campground, although basically in town, is beautiful!!! Bathrooms were spotless. On the down side, sites are on top of each other and people were very noisy and partying until 2 am. During the week was amazing! Weekends, not so much.

Quaint camp ground just off the main road. Enough of an escape. Shawn was the host during Halloween weekend, that dude is rad. Super warm guy and keeps the ground looking perfectly woodsy.
