This place is fantastic! Must be alumni, faculty or staff of UCLA. They have family camps, which are so popular that you need to put your requests in a lottery very early in the year. They have things for all ages. The children are in age-appropriate, scheduled activities all day and evening if they want. This gives the adults time to wind down. There is an open honor bar, too. The 3 buffet meals are fabulous. In the summer the Bruin Grill is open as well. The cabins have a loft upstairs with full bathroom and a bedroom downstairs with a private bathroom. Fireplace, large deck. No kitchen, fridge, microwave or tv. The setting is in a forest, which is beautiful. There are 40 acres to explore hiking. This is about $1,000 per adult for about a week.
They also have a Family and Friends option for the summer before the camps begin. It's $190/night for the cabin, with buffet breakfast only. We were able to use all of their games & equipment for free, including the docks for fishing (Bring your own tackle, etc.) Note that the cabins are not air conditioned, though. We happened to go during the 90 degree heat wave and it was a little uncomfortable. They do have fans, though. Neither the Bruin Grill nor the Honor Bar is open then. Unfortunately, it was too hot for most of the things to do. Lake Arrowhead is privately owned, so we couldn't go on it or the beach. Cute little restaurants and shops; however, a lot of them are closed due to the poor economy nowadays. read more
