    Start of the hike!
    Sica J.

    Absolutely love this campsite! Keith and his family are always very welcoming to us when we come. I am a part of a racial reconciliation camp for middle school kids! We've been using this camp site for over 20 years I've been a part of the organization for about 12. Absolutely feels like home when we come. We take probably 200 kids and maybe 80 staff and they fully accommodate us to the T. They have all sorts of thing you can do. Arts and crafts area Rock climbing Hiking Bonfire Chapel Meeting rooms Pool Ziplining area And much more!

    We went from the 10th of May to the 12th we just went out there to just relax and get away…read more So we got there and got everything unpacked. And found out that the bottom of the refrigerator did not get very cold so I was actually worried about all of our food going bad so we called the front and let them know that the refrigerator was not working. The freezer worked fine so they sent somebody down to check it out. And he brought us a small refrigerator that he put on a table outside. So we could put some of our food in it so we did that, but notice that the refrigerator did not work very well. Either. But anyways, we just kind of dealt with it.. Then the maintenance guy came back and told us that they are giving us a free 2 hours on a pontoon boat for the inconvenience. I truly highly recommend this place, they truly make sure that you are comfortable. And they do try their best.I give these guys five stars.. A few things in their trailer should actually be updated. But we made things work. We will all definitely be going back there.Hopefully, they can get that trailer updated on the mattresses. The refrigerator. And just overall, the cleanliness of the trailer actually was not up to my standards, maybe they could do better, but other than that, it was awesome, very relaxing, enjoyed the nature and most definitely enjoyed the pontoon. Thank you again so much , and we definitely will be returning

    I just completed My second year of fishing and camping here with my grandson. I love this place…read moresimply because of the staff. its camping, so things sometimes dont go as planned but the staff are always extremely helpful! Ed is the person who stands out for me. That guy goes out of his way to do what ever he can to make my visit enjoy for me and my grand-dude. The residents of the lake are also very helpful, welcoming to guest. There was a 8 yr old kid name Tauren who with his father's ok, walked up and down the shore to assist visitors in catching fish by offering his extensive knowledge of the lake and fish habits. Im already scheduling another trip. The water was low for the 2nd year in a row but I cant blame the lake for that! My one complaint is really trivial but the pillows and beds in the cottage were too hard and very difficult to sleep on. Also, the cottage I was in had two uncovered windows in the kitchen and the neighbors can look directly into the cottage at any hour.

    No electricity. No reception / cell coverage. No showers or sinks. There's two (possibly three)…read morewater spigots that you can get water from between the 24-some campgrounds. Each site has a numbered park bench & fire pit. Great view and hiking opportunities! Now that we've established what level or camping we're talking about, I'd give Marion a solid 4 stars & a definite return possibility. Notes mostly for us to remember but it might help when you're booking too. Campground 19&20 share parking but there's enough area to book both and set up all of the tents further into your spot. 20 has a large rock, away from most sites & a large fallen tree which is great for climbing and pictures; lol. 19 has the start of a hill and lots of large rocks. Its a great spot to hike. 22 is good, there's plenty of trees for shade. We've booked it twice and the only thing that bothers me is the exposed metal pipes which are right by the park bench; seem like a hazard waiting to happen. Could also just me griping as I'm still healing from a sprain. You share the parking with two other spots but you get the spot on the far right. I feel it gives you more boundary space for the kids to run around. Spigot near 3 is the most ideal as the other one near 22 is in the middle of 3 sites. Be sure to bring a bucket or container to hold water so you don't have to stumble through someone's campsite once it gets dark! 6 has a nice grouping of rocks to climb & a great view of the mountains. Its close to both a water spigot as well as the large stalls which I dubbed the nice port-a-potties. Its twice as large as the ones up the road from 22 & large enough you don't feel claustrophobic. It also barely smells; I have to call it out because the large one is top notch! That being said, we were walking and a down wind was strong of poo poos. Just know which direction your campsite is. :o All in all great if you remember your necessities and aren't afraid of a little dirt for a weekend+ getaway.

    1. LOCATION is great. Highest elevation drive up campground on San Jacinto. In mixed forest of…read morepine and oak. Easy access to Marion Mountain Trail which connects to the PCT as well as other local trails. 2. BATHROOMS are pit toilets. No biggie but they are FILTHY and there were mice turds, spiders and flies and ants everywhere. For an example of how a pit toilet can be go to the Stone Creek campground down the hill. They're immaculate. Or Palomar Mountain. Also very clean. Honestly I'd rather have no bathrooms and have to use a our luggable loo then deal with the lack of sanitary facilities. 3. RANGERS were very nice. I met the supervisor and we talked shop. Especially about the bear warnings. We had two groups in separate sites and they accommodated us moving locations to be next to each other without issue. 4. BUGS WERE OUT OF CONTROL. This is info only as you can't blame the campground per se but we were there 7/9 to 7/12 and all day was a barrage of bugs. First mosquitos then flies then back to mosquitos. So bad the last day I had 30 flies around me constantly while packing up. 5. WATER is only on Fri Sat Sun. If you're there other today's you have to go down to Fern Basin about 1/2 mile down the road or catch the ranger if he happens to be doing a water quality sample collection like I did :). We probably won't go back here unless the bathrooms are kept clean. There just isn't enough of a reason for us to choose it over the Stone Creek campground which is only a little lower and is 100x cleaner and tidier although slightly less space per sight and without some of the views.

    I was really disappointed in our site. The site was very small and narrow. We had a 16' trailer…read moreand two vehicles. The sites are on different levels because of the hilly conditions. We were in a site that had a retaining wall which was falling apart. I didn't even want to park my vehicle next to it because I was afraid that it was going to collapse under the weight. The site also had huge washed out ruts in our site. It was really run down. I am a member of Thousand Trails.

    Honestly I love this Thousand Trails Park. It's quiet and…read morefor the most part I'd say it's a clean site. It's literally two minutes from a gas station and less than 10 from a super cute village center with restaurants, cafes, hardware store, and a grocery store. I will say communication is different here than other thousand trails sites. Other sites we've been to send us updates via text but here is more word of mouth or calling in. The BEST thing about this site is the people who work here. They are so kind, informative, and friendly. We've been up here in the snow all week and the work and care the whole staff has taken to ensure everyone's safety has been clearly evident. We've been here late summer and felt the same way, very comfortable and peaceful. And on a note of the other reviews don't blame the park for disruptive people. There's those kinds of people EVERYWHERE, and for those of us who have worked in customer service we know sometimes there's only so much you can do. Second if you have a complaint about thousand trails as a COMPANY don't leave that review on a PARKS Yelp, they don't control the website or TT customer service lines. And lastly yes most spots are only electric and water, but that's why you have a map, and please why do you expect to park your RV on a MOUNTAIN and complain about level sites, that makes no sense. Come equipped with leveling blocks.
