There are only about 20 spaces, and more than half are full time rvers and mobile homers. We are able to walk to the lake, the East marina is right across the street. Within a few minutes drive is all Big Bear has to offer...the slopes, Village, restaurants, and right now...Oktoberfest at the convention center! New owners have been doing a lot of work since they bought it in June 2017. The park is very clean and well cared for by the on-site managers. It has a laundry room, and bathrooms. One shower stall only, but again, it's not crowded here. Each space is paved and relatively level. Sites are spacious, most have trees, and each has a firepit and picnic table. The park is very quiet! There is some road noise from the main street in front, but it's not bad. Lots of blue jays, bunnies, and squirrels for your entertainment! They have daily, weekly, and monthly rates. All sites are full hookups. Cable T.V. is great, and the Wi-Fi has been strong and reliable. We love the privacy, proximity to the bike path and lake, and being able to get to the Village and market in 5 minutes. Very nice, comfortable, safe little RV park.

Since we wanted to stay here on Labor Day weekend, we were excited to score two sites for the long weekend. Upon arriving to the campground (after driving up the winding roads up to Big Bear), we checked in at the booth and then proceeded to our sites. After backing into the parkin space, we got out of our truck and wanted to scout the area before unloading our gear. The first thing we noticed was that the area was HUGE. There was seemingly enough space to pitch at least 4 large tents at one site! It was also pretty well-maintained and clean, too. Our stay was brief, but pleasant. We enjoy the mostly quiet nighttime hours. The other highlight of this campground were the clean hot water showers. It's nice that you don't have to pay extra to use the showers (unlike some other campgrounds). The only downside was the struggle to push the silver button for the shower because the water doesn't stay on long enough if you just press it once. We didn't do any hiking this time around, but we did make a visit to the Big Bear Village and the Alpine Coaster during out weekend stay. Overall, this is an excellent campground in Big Bear Lake and it's worth the 6-month lead time for booking since its location and cleanliness are top-notch!

We loved the clean restrooms and the hot showers…read more We also loved having hosts in the campground, which helped keep the campground quiet at night. This campground has a lot of tall trees that provide plenty of shade, especially in the Evening Star Loop. We chose Site #111 in the Lake View Loop because the map described it as shaded. We found that it is actually only partially shaded. If you bring a canopy, it would be perfect. Note: Site #111 is located near the sewage container. I would definitely camp here again, but next time I will choose Site #114 instead. All of the sites are very clean, and the hosts drive around the campground from time to time to check on things, which made me feel very safe.

There are no showers here, but the clean restrooms with running water make camping a little easier. Loved all the shade from the trees and the fire pit and grill at all the campsites. One of the best parts of this campground is how close it is to hiking and biking trails, you can head straight out from camp and be on an adventure in minutes. Big Bear Lake and the village are just a short distance away, so there's plenty to do in the area. This is a well‑kept campground with lots nearby, and bonus points for being dog friendly.

Flush toilets and free showers available (both are generally clean with adequate hot water to shower with, and you'll see the "off duty" host clean them every day, but their condition will be highly dependent on your neighbors). There are a few hiking trail options during your stay: from inside the campground, if you follow the trail by the entrance/the hosts' RVs, to the right, a quick scurry across the highway, there's a mile long hike up to Jenks Lake. If you go left, you'll go through a few other campsites, then an amphitheater, and then an overlook area with a picnic table. There are a few loops in the trees behind the campgrounds, but I'm not sure where they lead as I just turned around eventually. The east loop (1-22) feels more spread out and private although there aren't really too many decent places to hang a hammock in most spots. The west loop (23+) feels a little closer together (but also not bad) with a lot more trees for shade and to hang hammocks. The west loop also tends to have more RVs and generator users for whatever reason though. I've mostly stayed on the east loop and would suggest bringing a canopy for shade. Even though the temperature may not seem that high, the sun is HOT, and is a little unbearable around 1 PM - 3 PM. Surprisingly, bugs are mostly a non issue even in the summer. Bundles of firewood for sale if conditions allow. $10 a bundle as of 07/2025 cash only. Expect each bundle to last about an hour. The host will go around selling however many fits on their cart or you can just drive your car up to the active host and fill your trunk. Big Bear is also a 30 minute drive away.
