PINEKNOT FAMILY CAMPGROUND @ BIG BEAR…read more NOTE: bring hand soap, dish soap, etc! There are bathrooms provided but no sanitizing! Parking is available for only two spots in each lot you end up purchasing, it was super easy to park, our lot was 46, so it was a bit of a drive. It was a very friendly area, there was a fire place, a table, and even a stoned cabinet (to store food, etc). The place itself is very close to all the popular lakes and spots. The only downside was that you might not get a lot of sleep, there are many kids there who were keeping people up even at 5am... maybe it's the family itself! But definitely be aware there might be noises and loudness since it's very family friendly! Overall, i'd definitely come back, it was about $120 for two nights!

I was very surprised how quiet this campground was. Also clean. Had the beautiful experience of…read moretwo coyotes strolling through our campsite, not scared or aggressive just peaceful. The issues I had were people tying things to the trees leaving huge grooves in the bark, wood gathering, and too many cars and people in campsites. We had a group of about twelve next to us they did have two sites but all stayed at one site with 6 vehicles. Also no campground etiquette... please don't journey through my site. Teach your kids better... I will return as I did like the campground!

Review 63/365 day challenge…read more Updating my review, 2nd time staying at this campground. We enjoyed it a lot 2 years/2 summers ago and returning 08.13-15.25 for another family summer camping trip. We're at Campground # 28 Campground # 27 is accommodating for disabilities. Which was right across from our campground # 28. #27 had majority all pavement in the campsite. Around the picnic table along they have their own water spout for water use. Also located closest to the restroom/showers, has a pavement road leading up to it for easy access. REMINDER there is no washing dishes sink available on these campgrounds nor can you use the restroom sinks to wash anything. There is a sign that it isn't allowed. So make sure to bring your own water! This time around downfall is the electrical plugs in both of the restrooms, weren't working the 2 nights stay we were there. I asked the associates that were driving around daily regards to the power. They told me it's a hit or miss. Sometimes the power isn't working and there's nothing that can be done to fix it. The downfall. Love the Serrano campground since it's not far from the actual Big Bear village. Still definitely recommend it. Really clean & everyone is respecting each other especially at night.

Campsite was very nice, clean & very well kept. Campsite host on site. Our campsite was a double site, #32/33, and was wonderfully beautiful. Restrooms & showers located nearby, plenty of shade spots for tent setup. Numerous hiking trails available, short walk to lake for fishing, (purchase fishing license before you arrive) bike riding, and boat rentals are also offered, but kind of expensive. Must reserve sites, 6 months ahead. We'll definitely come back, maybe annually.

This is a great place to stay for a camp.

Other than that, the facilities were overall really great for a church retreat

Got a last minute cancellation for MDW on Thursday PM to go Friday and Saturday night!…read more Recreation.Gov is a super easy place to book. We only had option to have vault toilets so that wasn't my favorite but it's a nice remote campground away from the crowds but 10mins from town. There's some nice trails leading out to some burn scarred forest and campfires were allowed. If you're not a fan of parking lot campgrounds and don't mind non-flushing toilets, this could be a good fit. If you want to be close to the lake for fishing, swimming, etc. and not have to get in the car to enjoy, this isn't the campground for you.

If you're looking for a bit remote campsite, then here you go!…read more GETTING THERE I always recommend booking a few months in advance by online to reserve your spot! To get here, you will drive a 2 mile dirt road. The dirt road was pretty bumpy for us, we took a 4x4 Jeep. I saw a Tesla that made it through, but not sure if lower cars like Honda Civics could make it.. If the road is wet, do bring a 4x4 that's made for wet dirt roads. CAMPSITE I personally like this campground because it is a bit remote. Each spot has plenty of space, so you're not super close to you'r neighbors. Each site has a bear cage for food, table, and fire pit. Some spots are more shadier than others. In summer, it is pretty toasty here, but at night it's a whole other story so come prepared. Very family friendly area. AMENITIES There is a public restroom, it is pretty stinky (there's no sink to wash your hands so bring your hand wipes). No showers. Although there are multiple water facets do fill up your water bottle. Also there's no signal out here, maybe there's 1 bar but it is very spotty. There's a huge garbage disposal at the front entrance, ALWAYS throw your trash away there before going to bed. WILDLIFE You will see some wildlife. We saw coyotes, lots of different birds, insects, chipmunks, squirrels & owls. Do be aware of deer and especially BEARS. There's signs saying bears are frequent in the area, i did hear one late at night so make sure you follow all protocols & keep food away & keep your site cleaned. Overall, i will definitely come back again!

Been coming to San Gorgonio campgrounds for over 30 years. Growing up we couldn't afford summer…read moretrips so my dad would make an effort to get us out of the city for a weekend or two every summer. I've continued this tradition with my own kids and this campground is a mainstay in our rotation. In those 30 years not much has changed (and that's a good thing), except maybe a bit more noise from the road. That's expected though with more and more people moving into the area. Nothing beats the tranquility and peace you feel just sitting enjoying a meal together, playing cards, making s'mores, or telling stories by the fire. Facilities are always clean. Showers have warm water and the park host do an excellent job of keeping them clean. The toilets are also always clean, and flush toilets make it so any unpleasant smells do not linger. Plenty of firewood is available if you're running low or forgot to pack any. Make sure you have cash though. The camp host will come by and offer or you can swing by and pick it up. A few cons: the water spout next to our site was not working so we had a not so long trek to retrieve water. The fire pit at our site wasn't in the best of locations. I would've preferred it tucked in more, but it was located right next to the driveway, and finally the drainage system in the showers could be upgraded. It's not pleasant wadding in remains of the person that showered before you even in shower shoes.

Located on the western side of Big Bear Lake, this park is a popular destination for both locals and visitors, particularly those looking to enjoy a peaceful and leisurely walk with their pets, a picnic, or just some quiet time by the water. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the park, but it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. If the lot is full, there is additional street parking available nearby. The park is open year-round, but the best times to visit are during the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is mild, and the lake is at its most beautiful.

Many people taking pictures or selfies, some people fishing off the small pier, while others were walking their dogs. It was very clean, there is restrooms available (yes there was a line) and plenty of parking, although you may need to wait for a spot. It is a cool park to check out, I've seen pictures of people kayaking, however there are signs that say to stay on the path and not cross over the railing. A nice picnic place perhaps or family photos with the bear. The boulders in the area/park make it a cool photographic area.
