Hesperia Lake Park
Overview
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.

LOTS of ducks, geese, and other birds that are in huge crowds because they're used to people! They sell bird food for the birds if you want to interact with them. (Don't pet; they are wild). Great for young kids! There's a good sized playground with plenty of picnic tables for parents to sit. But honestly the birds and waterfalls are way more fun to play/look at! Good sized lake for fishing!

It's open ahain and not charging for park entry. There is a small fee if you want to fish. Playground looks like it was recently re-modeled.

Went fishing here the day after memorial day. The fishing was very disappointing. Did cat h a thing. Only the duck and geese were entertaining. Some rude teenagers were taunting the wild life here. Sad to see. $114 to fish here for all day, what a waist of money. Better to have gone to Disneyland. Also, saw sheriff's scadaddle young kids off the green grass attempting to play with their ⚽ soccer ball. What's the point of the grass then? Just to look at it? Likely won't be returning here again.

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. 😊
