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!

This is a great place to stay for a camp.

The hike down is beautiful with wide desert views. Just remember: going back up is a workout. Bring plenty of water and be ready for sun. The hot springs themselves are awesome--several warm pools and the cold creek right next to them. It can get busy, but still really relaxing. Overall, a great adventure spot if you're up for a tougher hike. Would definitely go again.

The hike back from the hot springs is no joke, especially on a hot day if it gets to 80s. It is nonstop uphill for about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your speed. Still gorgeous.

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.

9/7/2026 thru 9/9/2025…read more We come to Dogwood every year because we really Love it here. We do the hiking trail twice a day, grill some meats, take Hot showers before bed and sleep in tents. It is beautiful here, the facilities are clean and most importantly you can take Free HOT showers. This year we planned to stay two nights at Campsite #87. But left early, only staying the one night leaving around 1pm on 9/8/2025. During the night around 1am we heard someone or an animal walking around outside our tent. (We have Never experienced any kind of wild life animal or people walking into our campsite before. This was the first time this happened to us). The steps were light and almost human. The light grunting and chewing on what sounded like twigs or maybe acorns and light heavy breathing is what made us realize it was not human. But we were not sure and all of us were scared to look outside. After staying still and playing dead for two to three hours we finally fell asleep and woke up around 5:30am. And started our day. Went for a hike and came back to our tent / campground. HUGE Black Bear encounter. We got back to our campsite before 10ish, ate, relaxed and were drinking tea. When suddenly out of no where I saw a huge Black Bear just casually strolling into our neighbors campsite walking past their RV camper and headed we towards the garbage dumpsters or towards the Rimforest high school. We Jumped into our car and stayed there until the bear was out of site. Then we met with the Park ranger and let them know that we just saw the Black bear. Park ranger then confirmed that the bear was also here last night. And that that there was a Mountain Lion lurking around as well. So we had to be on high alert and if we see the mountain lion to hide or get in your car. I gave my family members one look and within one second we agreed to pack up and head back home. Although we know bears can be seen whenever you go hiking or camping. We never expected it to actually ever happen to us. So to be safe we had to cut our trip short.

Another great stay. This year we did not have nearly as many yellow jackets (thank goodness). This…read moreyear we maybe had 4-5 all trip. Last year 6-year-old nephew got stung over 16 times one afternoon. They ended up having to take him to the emergency room and leave to go back home on the first night. I suggest if you're going to bring traps just incase to hang them around the site. Last year we set up 6 traps around the site and water spout. Each trap had between 50-over 100 in just 2 days. That would be my only complaint about this campground. The bathrooms are plentiful clean. They are serviced and refilled multiple times a day. There are free hot showers too. The sites are pretty shaded and depending on where you stay...some sites are small and others are nice and secluded. There are some sites with hookups towards the front of the campground. The camp hosts are attentive and give you warnings when wild animals have been spotted. We did have a black bear run through our site at breakfast one day but it just passed through and didn't bother us. Best local campground close enough to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear.

One of the best campsites I've ever been to. It's located near Joshua tree and originally I thought…read morethere would be others here but we were the only ones onsite. They provide many amenities for $150 per night. You get this awning which covers two large picnic tables, a smoker slash grill, a preparation table trashcan and a gas grill for those days when fire season is in full swing. They provide paper towels and TP for the portal potty and they have a large 5,000 gallon water tank and portable 5 gallon water jugs for use around camp which we used to put out the campfire after use. They have a fire pit and chairs and tables. You essentially get 10 acres of land to yourself. You can go hiking, rock climbing or mountain biking in marked trails. We stayed for two nights and had a blast as it was way more than we expected. This maybe our new go to campsite only 2.5 hour drive from the SGV. I recommend if you go that you go in a high clearance vehicle as 4x4 is not needed but you may run into an incline where you loose traction and needs push or pull from someone as one of our friends needed.

This is a great campground local to San Diego. About a 40 minute drive. I used to go to the…read moreCuyamaca Campgrounds a lot. This one is located about 5 minutes away. Green Valley has (small - around 3 feet high) falls and cool water to soak in. It is south of the main campground and the public can park there (I think there is a parking fee to get into the campground?) and 10 minute walk down to the falls. Really peaceful, and the amenities (showers/bathrooms) have been greatly improved over the years. It barely feels like 'roughing it'! My onlycomplaint, and it was a BIG one is the flying BUGS were buzzing/bombing me he entire trip! Some people's blood (MINE) is supposed to attract them more than others. Because I noticed other campers were NOT impacted. Bring a skeeter hair net or repellent. I went in September , Space 41. Oh! and wild turkeys came right up to my camp space! Cool.

Restrooms are clean with toilet paper and sink. Just no paper towels (take a hand towel) Stayed from 6/19/20 to 6/21/20 and all slots were taken but everyone was respectful to each other. Ground is dirt and bit not leveled well so do be wise to where you want to place your tent.
