We had the opportunity to go out on a guided fishing excursion today with Kyle at Diamond Valley…read moreLake. When I inquired about a fishing trip for my husband and I, Kyle was efficient in getting us scheduled. We were able to nail down pricing as well. Kyle was very clear about what type of Rod and Reel we should bring, as well as line. He supplied the tackle. We arrived at our appointment time and Kyle was there right on time. We are fairly new at fishing. He explained everything clearly and helped us with everything from showing us how to tie knots to baiting our hooks. He knew the perfect spots to hit at the lake. By the end of the day, the 3 of us each caught our limit and we came away with 30 fish! If you are looking for a memorable experience, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Diamond Kyle. He is super knowledgeable and personable. We will be seeing him again for another adventure in the near future.

Paul was extremely patient with us and provided expert knowledge on how to fish for Bass. His techniques and precise targeting locations helped us land some monster bass! He provided all the gear we needed to catch these monsters. Paul also provided snacks and drinks for us to stay hydrated and fed while on his boat. I highly recommend doing a tour with him. You won't regret it!

Another great trip with Jimmy. Where do I start! His…read moreknowledge of the lakes he fishes, the species that he targets, where in the lake he covers and how to fish each is unbelievable. We are always hooked up. His equipment is updated and top notch. My 2 boy's catch more fish by following his example. More important to me is his patients with them. At 5 and 9, his care shows in his actions. Always teaching them. Cant beat that in a fishing guide. Thanks Jimmy! We look forward to the next bite! David F.

My kids, hubby and I have made some great memories out there on the lake with him. Jimmy is always super patient(especially with the kids) and exceeds all expectations on what a good guide should be. Watching my kids catch their first fish(of many) and how excited they were was all worth it! Core memories locked in. Can't wait for more future trips!

Definitely worth a visit. We went near closing time during one of the heat waves (8/6/23), so we…read morehad to cut our visit short. When the weather cools down, we look forward to checking out the trails, but on this visit, we parked & walked up the paved path to the top of the hill. Beautiful views of the lake & new developing parts of Winchester. Interesting to see how this whole valley will look in 20 years. Bottom line: free to visit, but closes around 4:00pm.. maybe hours change during different seasons, but not sure. Check it out if you're looking for outdoor things to do.

Our walk was lovely and we encountered so many really cool things today. I took a bunch of pictures of nature. I still haven't seen a bald eagle. I was pretty sure there was a dead body in the trash dumpster but after lifting the lid it was just trash that stunk to high heavens. The dead racoon carcass was a crazy sighting! Poor baby, I wonder what ate it? We saw Cormorants, granite spiney lizards, carpenter bees, murders of crows... a whole bunch going on. There are so many things to see here on the trails, you should come check it out for yourself!

Great place and well kept, people are nice, fellow campers respectful. Beautiful location, very…read morecrowded place too, sites are close together. Dogs welcome. Well stocked RV Masters store down the hill if you have any issues. If you are bringing a trailer or RV and expect to have full hookups, please be warned. The location of the sewer hookup on many sites is at the back end of the site that is uphill from your dump outlet and no way you can actually use it even with hose supports. The water hookup is also in some cases a shared 4 bib in the adjacent camp so you will be tripping over your hose. So be prepared to dry camp so your trip isn't stressful. Meaning fill your water and drain your tanks. Electrical worked fine for us. But the outlets are 30a so if you have a 50a rig, bring your adapter. The fire rings can be moved if you need them in another place to not have smoke in your rv so that nice. There is a store and the bathrooms are real toilets not pit, cleaned and kept stocked and they have showers if you need. They have 2 RV dump stations that are free when you stay but only 1 has working water for flushing. Overall , we would camp again with the expectation of dry camping, but the prices should reflect the inability to actually have "full hookups".

I came here wanting to know where I could go for a short little walk and they told me to actually drive down the road a little further to go to the "Idyllwild Nature Center" vs here at the State Park.

I was looking for a hike that didn't require a wilderness hiking permit and found the Cahuilla Mountain Trail. The hike is 2.5 miles each way, but it seems longer because of the heat and the elevation gain. There are several different eco-zones here from chaparral to high desert to pines. Many cool rocks along the way. Some portions of the trail are overgrown and tight. Directions - Take Hwy 371 till you reach Cary road. Go 3.7 miles, the road eventually turns into Tripp Flats road. Look for the sign on the left hand side of the road indicating the trail road ( I took a picture of it ). From the turn off to the small dirt parking lot is about 2 miles up a small winding dirt road. Don't worry, you don't need a 4x4. The trick is to look for something that looks big enough to park a few cars. What tricked me was there wasn't a trail head sign ( though another review I read said to look for it ). Apparently there was a fire and the sign is gone now. So park in this dirt lot and look to the south. You should see an entrance with a metal gate. BTW, If you pass the parking lot by accident and hit to a fork in the road you'll need to turn back, you've gone too far.. - Several rattlesnakes on the trail..
