Lake Cahuilla (Riverside County Park)

This park is beautiful and well kept. Unfortunately, my wife and I had a difficult experience while camping overnight. We booked and paid for the campsite months in advance, but when we arrived near the campsite, at about 8pm, the car gates into the park were padlocked. We tried to contact the park multiple times, through multiple numbers, but we're unable to get ahold of them. The voicemail informed us that the car gates closed at sunset (which was hours before we got there). There had been no mention of the gate closure in any of the confirmation emails for our stay, nor in the general park details. Eventually, we managed to get in, after asking someone within the campground for a gate code. (The campsite had not emailed us the gate code.) Once we got to our campsite, it was very nice. The bathrooms were clean, and the area felt very safe. They should just be more clear to campers about check in times or send a gate code for those paying for overnight camping.

Nice lake with an rv park. Wouldn't go on a hot weekend, there are trees, but they are sparse. It was cloudy and there was light rain, so I lucked out on a perfect time to check this out. Water and electric hookups, picnic tables and fire rings at all sites. I'll be back again before it heats up here in the desert.

Nice clean camp grounds and RV hook ups. Still under semi construction. But nicely upgraded with landscaping and park like amenities. Note:: No swimming or floating or going in the lake is allowed if you are human or animal. You can only fish from the shore. Lame!mussels and invasive plants dont live on humans or dogs. We booked in advance and they are dog friendly but fail to tell you can not swim or let your dogs in the lake. An oasis that you can’t have if you want to utilize the facilities in the heat. Their renovation construction is almost done and they have a swimming pool, along with other out door bbq and shaded picnic amenities, basket ball court, pickle ball and tennis ready to open the weekend of the 7th with a fishing derby and freshly stocked lake. It’s nice!

It was a nice place to fish a lot of catfish you actually catch fish. It’s really nice to go there. There’s benches there’s restrooms you get to drive up on your spot park your truck or your car pull out your chairs and whip out your fishing poles and start fishing. It’s really fun, especially if you go for a day fishing it’s awesome especially for families who have nothing to do. It is fun and interesting. And the best time to fish is early in the morning right when the park opens at six is when the fish first start to bite so it’s best to get there early if you wanna catch something but you’ll catch anything no matter what have fun. It’s a really fun place. kids can run around, but you just gotta make sure you keep an eye on them.

A quiet and beautiful place to watch the sun rise. Although its under construction its stil a great place. I think all the construction they are doing will only enhance this great this place.
