Hesperia Lake Park
Overview
Hesperia Lake Park offers a refreshing desert escape in the High Desert of Southern California. Known for its man-made lake and tranquil atmosphere, it provides a unique setting for RVers looking to reconnect with nature. The park is managed by the Hesperia Recreation and Park District, ensuring a well-maintained environment for families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a peaceful lakeside retreat. It serves as a community hub where natural beauty meets recreation.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the High Desert region of San Bernardino County, the park sits at the edge of the Mojave River basin. The landscape features rugged desert hills contrasting with the lush, manicured greenery surrounding the central lake. Its proximity to Main Street in Hesperia makes it easily accessible while still feeling like a secluded getaway from the bustle of the Inland Empire. The high elevation provides cooler evening temperatures compared to the lower desert floor.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV sites at Hesperia Lake Park focus on a rustic experience, primarily offering dry camping options for those who enjoy a traditional outdoor stay. The centerpiece is the 16-acre lake, which is regularly stocked with trout and catfish, making it a premier destination for shore fishing enthusiasts. Guests also enjoy access to shaded picnic areas, a playground for children, a camp store, and clean restroom facilities with showers for convenience.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park’s boundaries, visitors can explore the natural beauty of Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area, located just a short drive away for boating and hiking. For a unique desert experience, the Mojave River Forks Regional Park offers additional trails and birdwatching opportunities. History buffs will appreciate the California Route 66 Museum in neighboring Victorville, which provides a fascinating look at the culture and legacy of the Mother Road.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for avid anglers and families who enjoy a traditional camping vibe without the need for full resort luxuries. Because it emphasizes dry camping, it is a great fit for self-contained RVers or those looking for a quiet fishing weekend. It serves as an excellent basecamp for travelers exploring the High Desert or those needing a scenic, nature-focused stop along their journey through San Bernardino County.

Great family park. It’s so beautiful has plenty of shade. You’re able to buy little bags of duck food for just $1 and you can let the kiddos feed the ducks. Also the staff has always been nice. 😊

Hesperia Lake Park is a great little get-away in the desert. Plenty of green trees and green grass. A play ground for the kiddos, picnic tables and ample trash receptacles. All the bathrooms are port-a potties. There is a general store that basically carries, water, soda, beer, ice, jerky, and assortment of individual sized snack chips. You can buy small bags of duck food for $1. Fishing is allowed on the lake but no boating or swimming is allowed. Overnight camping is also permitted, for a fee. Open pit campfires also not permitted. Great place for an afternoon picnic with your special someone or a weekend camp out with the family.

Lots of ducks, geese, even a couple pelicans! Fishing, snack and tackle, and a natural spring fed waterfall. Picnic tables and nice for walks.

This is for Hesperia Lake Park equine area! We camp here when ever we head south. The equine area campground is head and shoulders better than the regular campground as it is huge, we've never seen another camper (weekends or week days) and is very quiet. It is not right next to a busy road that the locals think is a national race way! Water hookups, no electricity, no sewer and we love it! The gates are closed at night to keep the yahoo's out but not locked! If you don't mind the lack of electricity and using pit toilets but love the seclusion, quiet, dark skies right next to the Mohave river, this is it!
