Idyllwild RV Resort - Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA

Lovely nature around. Campground facilities are lacking. Never did find a shower out of three none really worked. Two showers were out of commission one drizzled a very small amount of hot water and one was not warm at all. Very rough showering. The pool had no bathroom so guess what you're swimming in. No store or anything at all. The drive here is scary. The sites are nuts to try to get into and uneven. I probably would not return here. I'm typically not hard to please. As long as you realize these things and they would not bother you you're all good

I do not usually review Thousand Trails parks, but Thousand Trails Idyllwild absolutely deserves one. I have loved coming here over the years because it gives me exactly what I crave: the quiet, beauty, and solitude of the forest. I was lucky enough to get a couple of snowy days during this stay, which made it feel especially magical.
But what really made this visit stand out was the staff. I was staying in a site off the main road, and with the snow, I was concerned about access, especially because I was going through propane quickly and needed a delivery truck to be able to reach me. As soon as there was a break in the weather, the staff made sure a path was cleared from the paved road to my site so the propane truck could get through.
They also went above and beyond in another way that meant a lot to me. I needed medication for my dogs, and without a car, getting it would have been extremely difficult because of the steep elevation change in the park. The staff kindly brought it to me, which was far beyond what I would normally expect.
As a solo RVer, snow can feel beautiful and a little intimidating all at once, but the kindness and care from the staff made me feel safe, supported, and genuinely looked after. Everyone I interacted with was wonderful and helpful throughout my stay. (Not just at check in)
This was an above-and-beyond experience in every way. Thousand Trails Idyllwild is a special place, and the people working there made it even more special.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in California, Pine Cove TT is the spot. We stayed here recently and loved the quiet, wooded atmosphere. The park itself is beautiful, but what really made the experience for us was the staff. They were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.

We've been in dozens of thousand trails parks from east coast to the west coast. I think I'm already quite qualified to pintpoint a nice tt park. This one is my favorite 😍

P.S. I don't know if I'm allowed to write names of especially hospitable staff members here so I won't. But they deserve a praise for their diligent work.

This is actually one of my faves. If the roads hadn’t been so washed out and sketchy it would get 5 stars. The recent storms really messed them up. The bathrooms were tired but the water and heater were hot. The area is beautiful and some sites are better than others. The vibe was quiet and serene. The laundromats had a nice folding table. I would go back.

This park is beautiful. Having said that if you have anything bigger than 25 feet you are in for a rude awakening. The road coming in is very tight and the park is just as tight. There needs to be a large amount of road and site work done to make the park more accessible. We have a 29 foot fifth wheel and did damage the truck backing in due to incline of the site. I have to say if I still owned my tent trailer that I had 25 years ago this would be my favorite park.

My family and I went over the weekend and stayed at this campground. The staff is super friendly and the rooms were clean. We will definitely be booking another day here soon. Thank you so much to all the staff for making us food at home we truly appreciate it. 🙏🏼

Beautiful spot up in the San Jacinto Mountains with a nice little fishing spot on the campground. Cool place and we live locally and still try and come every so often. We stayed in the cabins because we’re doing some renovations on our RV this year and they’re pretty nice. Kinda small but has everything that you could need while out camping.

We did a campground and loved it, you are surrounded by beautiful Jeffrey pines, incense cedars, manzanitas and canyon live oaks! When you step outside you smell the beautiful maple syrup/ vanilla fragrance from the Jeffrey pines. The staff is amazing and our experience was awesome. My wife and I loved it and our toddlers had lots of fun. Every camper we talked to was cool and also loved it. Bathrooms, pools, showers, trails were all super clean and everything was family friendly. Location is great and just a few minutes from the town. We will be going back soon and we are going to be getting the membership. I want to give a BIG THANKS to John, Bill and Chris! See you guys soon!

Will not bring my rig here again even though it's a pretty location.  Thousand Trails is implementing a new policy of assigning sites.  This would be fine if I could select, but not so much when they assign.  When we arrived I asked to be at a site near my cousin.   They said they were full and we could not change.  THE PLACE HAD LOTS OF EMPTY SITES - wider more level, easier to back in- THEY LIED.  We ended up in a busy area, not out at near the perimeter enjoying the quiet. The sites were
Steep and we Damaged our rig and truck backing in at 90 degrees.
I am so annoyed they did not respect my request to be with other family camping at the same time.
Some terrible roads- eroded, narrow, trees close to roads with obvious damage from vehicles, and tight turns.
They need a full-time bulldozer leveling sites especially after erosion of the winter and spring seasons.  The staff forgot to open the lodge at hours posted when the sales person was off for two days.  I had to call the ranger station and ask someone to open the lodge.

Beautiful campground in an absolutely fantastic area of southern California.  It was the perfect little getaway to spend some time away from the city on a long weekend.  The campground is clean, the staff is friendly, there is a pool and hiking trails.  And it is only a few minutes outside the town of Idyllwild.  We will be back!

Rick is amazing! He will go above and beyond for anyone and is so helpful! If I could give him a 100 out of 5 stars I so would and the park is so beautiful! This is the only good thing about this place!

Now on the other hand one of the park rangers here is so rude! He’s not helpful and I had the worst experiences with him and I get along with EVERYONE! If you stay there you will find out quickly who it is. One of the incidents my husband had with him is when he went at 4:30 pm to fill our propane tank, which they close at 5, this ranger stated to him “I was hoping to leave here early, but I guess I’ll fill it”.

One, that’s your job and two, you don’t close till five and three, it’s still daylight so don’t be freaking lazy!

The other rangers are nice and mind their own business.

From the time I started staying here till now the park has gone down a ton. I have noticed they don’t have as many employees AND don’t count on doing your laundry here. The washer and dryers are horrible!

Quiet park in the forest of the San Jacinto mountains.  Wildlife, hiking, fishing. grilling and sitting around the propane campfire. A great plsce to get away and relax. What could be better?

Not all lots have sewer. Some lots are for smaller rigs. Big park. We jogged around all over. Good trails and lots of tent camping sites

This place is my favorite Thousand Trails location so far. I have been up there many times and always have a pleasant experience. The customer service this last weekend exceeded my expectations, even though they are incredibly high given my previous experiences here. Arron went above and beyond. Thank you!

Rick  gave a wonderful overview.  Very helpful.  Beautiful  place!
