What a beautiful and clean campground. Easy access to fresh water, perfect bathrooms. Definitely check out the hike at Aliso Canyon loop. It was a beautiful view at the top and great exercise.

While the campground looks beautiful. Please take into account the size of the vehicles they say will fit. While the length of the driveways may be accurate, the ability to back into a site is limited due to the large boulders used as raof markers. Also, there are many low hanging trees. Please take this into account. I reserved site 14 and while it states it can fit my rig it was impossible to back it to and has a pretty large set of branches running across the rear of the site. The top of my trailer hit just about every tree around the perimeter drive...5th wheels / RVs beware. Beautiful location and very quiet but unless you want to turn your trailer into a convertible, I'd be cautious. Now I'm off to get my Solar panel repaired because I tore it off driving around this location.....cheers...

We loved the location. We road our bikes to a nearby trail head and hiked a canyon.

I love this campground. It is clean, shady, and convenient. Shout out to our camp host, Stephanie for superb customer service. She was always available and extremely helpful. 10/10 will be back in the near future.

this campground is very nice and well kept. the bathrooms are very clean. only downside is their are no showers. i can in the winter so it was cold day and night so it wasnt too big of an issue. Also its pretty close to the road so you do hear a lot of cars driving during the day but at night it is very quiet. will definitely be back. bring all your needed supplies since theirs no store near by
