My daughter's first time on a snowboard and the snow was a success thanks to the skill and professionalism of Instructor Trevor D. Her two hour lesson flew by thanks to his ability to make the activity interesting, low-stakes, and super fun! I highly recommend private lessons for the smaller kids here especially since they are 1:1. On another note, the runs that day were well-groomed and decent conditions for an afternoon. There's a current flex lift ticket deal where for each adult ticket a child ticket is complimentary is a sweet deal. While you do have to pay $30 for main parking lot at West Resort, much of the quality and excellent service has held up. The dirt lot before the main ramp is still free. You just have to walk up the hill or take the stairs.

This was my first visit to Mt. High this year, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I…read morecame on a busy Saturday right after back-to-back SoCal storms, so I expected the resort to be packed -- and it was -- but it honestly didn't feel prepared for the crowd. One of the most-used lifts on the west side wasn't working, which caused a lot of congestion. Traffic getting into the resort was rough, and the transport buses from the east to west parking lots weren't operating. There was no announcement about this, so my friends ended up walking from east to west parking, which was frustrating. On top of that, we experienced a fireplace being out of gas. They eventually got it lit, but by that time it was late, really cold, and we were about to head out because our lift tickets had expired. Overall, the resort has potential, but I felt unprepared for the crowd and the logistics were poorly communicated. Hopefully, they can improve operations and better handle busy days in the future.

So we went to yeti snow play for the first time February 21 of 2026. It was a perfect weekend…read morebecause there was a lot of fresh snow and it was cold but also sunny. So we were so excited to go tubing and play in the snow. We bought our tickets online to reserve a spot. My biggest complaint and issue and that's why there's not five stars, is it took us 2 1/2 hours to go 2 miles from our Airbnb. And when we got to the destination, the parking lot was completely full and we were very, very disheartened that we would have to turn around and take another two hours to get back and then have to come back the next day and hopefully be able to get a spot. I was very disappointed because the infrastructure doesn't seem to be very organized to deal with a big amount of crowds, especially knowing that fresh snow attracts a lot of people at one time. However, I was able to get out of the car and talk to three employees. The first two employees just told me that I can just use my ticket for the next day. But I didn't want to give up so I talked to the third employee, unfortunately I forgot her name, but she told us that since we already had tickets and it wasn't for snowboarding or for skiing that she would make a spot for us for parking. And that just made my day! I was very, very thankful for that because it was going to be very difficult to tell my six-year-old that we weren't gonna go tubing that day. So luckily we were able to get in and park and have some fun! So after finally getting in, I have to say that every staff member that we interacted with was super friendly, super helpful and just very professional. The tubing was super fun for my son. He loved it so much! And the cool thing is that the lines were super short because everyone was skiing and snowboarding. The tubing was super fun and my son went up and down 14 times! There is a little place that you can get food, but we brought our own food since we have allergies. And we were able to find a really nice little bench in the eating area and have our food and it was great. I can't really talk more about the food since we didn't order from there, but it looks like a lot of people are ordering. So for the cost, I think even though it's really high price for what we paid for I think it's worth it because it's a safe and controlled area versus trying to find a random hill to go sledding at. It was nice and definitely we'd love to come back. But when we come back, unfortunately you have to get to the parking lot at 7 AM and you don't start doing any of the tubing until 10 AM so that is unfortunate and that's something that I don't know how we'll plan for that but that's something I wish that they would try to fix her future. But overall, I would say it's a great place to go tubing ski skiing or snowboarding or just playing in the snow. But you need to plan a way ahead and know that it's gonna take you a very long time to get in . I highly recommend buying tickets online!

We reserved Campground No. 12, a spacious corner lot that offers one of the BEST VIEWS of the sunset. During summer hours, the sun doesn't set fully until close to 9 pm, and from a distance, I could see the city lights, which was Lancaster. The campground provides bear lockers to store food, as bears are commonly seen in the area. It's essential to keep food properly in the evening. The campground also has flush toilets and toilet paper, though they may not be the cleanest. There's a fire pit for burning wood and a table for dining. If you forget to bring your wood, the campground host sells a bundle for $10. Overall, I had a great time hanging out with friends, and the distance is tolerable for many Angelenos.

What an awesome little spot!…read more Emphasis on little. The campsites are very close to one another with very tight parking for your vehicles. However, if you come in with more of a community mindset than seeking isolation in nature, it'll be just fine. We went camping with our teen and our toddler (sorry neighbors), but there were lots of other children around so it felt pretty family-friendly. The camp host was super friendly and they had local firewood for sale onsite. Facilities were pretty clean, even when they were a little bit more on the trashed side during a 5am bathroom run (was it children or critters, idk but the toilet paper was everywhere haha). Every campsite had a bear box, picnic bench, and fire pit; trash disposal was conveniently placed and walking distance from most campsites. Since it was July, it was on the warmer side but still fresh and beautiful. My toddler had a blast chasing all the lizards. And while we were a little nervous about the bear warnings with a hyperactive toddler in our party, we didn't see anything bigger than a squirrel. We will definitely be back!

We definitely had a great time and recommend staying if you're nearby and looking for a clean, quaint campground with a lot of space. Only thing to note is the sites are not directly accessible by car, you will need to walk just a few steps off pavement.

Kinda cool that you can review campsites on Yelp, too. Anyway, here's my review of this site I…read morevisited just recently: I initially planned on visiting Table Mountain campground, just 5 minutes away, but that place was packed out the wazoo. Couldn't grab a spot. So I came here as a backup. It was 11pm or so, but my party was able to snag a spot out of 6/8 occupied sites. We grabbed an empty table and some real estate at the top of the hill. The site is used for sledding when the snow comes in for the winter, so the grade is quite noticeable. Cars must be parked at the bottom of the hill, so if you have a lot of things, be prepared for some tiring back-and-forth from the bottom to the top and back again. Since our tents were set at the very top, we had the privilege of getting some extra steps in. Each campsite here is within 50 feet of another. You are within eyesight and earshot of your neighbors - this is a bit of a downside, as I prefer camping in peace and away from other people, to get away from the city. Bring earplugs if you can spare the space. We were granted the opportunity to listen to a large family rev up their trucks throughout the first night. It went on from 11pm-3am. That would have been ideal if my definition of camping was setting up my tent in the middle of a monster truck rally. But alas, it's not. Sites also come with a grill and a fire-ring, very nice for cooking if you wish to do so. I think firewood is sold at a few stores nearby, but you can scavenge for extra around the grounds, too. The two bathrooms at the bottom of hill were a predicament. It wasn't entirely clean (which most camp potties aren't already) but you are galactically screwed if the door gets left open. Flies will swarm the two toilets and make it virtually impossible to do your business. One or two flies won't deter me from popping my squat, but I'm telling you: I instead chose to dig a hole way uphill, park myself behind a tree out of sight, and did my thing out there. It was that bad. The black plague would have been proud. On the topic of bugs: BRING BUG SPRAY. And citronella candles. And keep your tent doors closed at all times. The bugs here go crazy. Seal your foods, especially any sweets, and make sure to keep your cooking materials off the ground to avoid ants. Other than that, there was plentiful shade and the trees are swept by a decent breeze that visits every so often. It made up for the sweltering heat that had been bogging down LA for weeks. When our louder neighbors would leave to hang out at the nearby lake, it was serene and awfully peaceful. Plus, since the campground is situated between two bigger hills, the sun doesn't linger around too much during the day. While it gets the job done, this site is a sub-par escape from the city and serves only as a mediocre, last minute find; my advice would be to reserve a much nicer, cleaner, and quieter campsite months in advance. Do your research, pack smartly, and have fun.

So after discussing dates, we settled on this past weekend. I looked up campsites around the area, checked the Forest Service website for more info, and settled on Blue Ridge Campground. Our back up campground was Guffy Campground, which is also nearby. Directions: You take the 2 Hwy past the city of Wrightwood, keep going past Mountain High Ski, and the next turn after the ski lifts is Blue Ridge Rd (I think there's an East or West added to the street sign). You make a left turn onto the street, with Wrightwood behind you. It is a dirt road, and road conditions are a little rough. We took 2 SUVs out there and they did perfectly fine. My Mazda 6 would not have made the trek up. It's about 3 miles from the turn to the campground, which is at the top of the Mountain High Ski lifts. The road takes you directly there. Campground: It says there are 8 spots. First come first serve, I think I only saw 7. You only need an Adventure Pass to camp here (you can pick one up at the ranger station, sport chalet, rei day use is $5, yearly $30), meaning the campground itself is free. There are 4 vault toilets. Decent and they had toilet paper. Each site had a campfire ring and a picnic table. The views are amazing up here. Since the campground is perched on top of a mountain, you can see city lights on both sides of the mountain. I tried to catch the sunset, but it's obscured by trees and mountains. It's still so beautiful though! I saw a glimpse of the sunrise and it lit the sky up! Tips: HIgh clearance vehicles or 4 wheel drive. Adventure pass. Call to check fire restrictions, when we went we were allowed a campfire. Bring your own water, there is no water up here.
