Stayed in site 22. Clean campground, quiet after 10pm, plenty of space between sites. Great firepits, nice BBQ and picnic table. The camp hosts were easy to find and pleasant but I caught them early at 10am. No water, no toilets, just port-a-pottys. The Applewhite Picnic area across the street is great for daytime creek access but it got ravaged by storms in late 2025 and is closed for a while which makes the creek access from the campground a driving excursion instead of a walk. Stargazing is better than flatlands but still too much ambient light from LA/San Bernardino corridor to see the Milky Way clearly. You may notice the train horns at night as they go through the Cajon Pass alongside the 15 but there is also a nice low rumble from the creek about 300 feet away. Pretty pleasant. Oh, don't camp there if you want to leave early the morning of the annual Fontana Days Run as your only exit from the campground is the staging/starting area for the annual 6K run to downtown Fontana! We watched people stretch and jog from 6-7am and were the 7th car in line at 8am behind the Fontana utility trucks behind the tired runner pickup bus behind the last runner and made the freeway at 930. Shoulda read the signs. My bad!

The campground is nice, but due to damage from December storms, there is no river access from the campground. The picnic area across the street is closed indefinitely and the rest of the nearby river access is private property.

It is an excellent place to go to relax. The price is affordable, and the couple who run the place are super friendly; they keep the area clean. Of course, weekends are a different story—it is always packed. Sometimes there are unsupervised children getting into mischief, as well as people playing their music very loudly. The restrooms aren't perfectly clean, but the peale enchrge do the best they can. I am eagerly looking forward to summer so I can go back at least once a month.

It’s always a great experience here with my man :) I come every weekend with him and pick out different number spaces everytime. Feels good to smell the outdoors! ^_^

After reading all the reviews we decided to book site #10 its in the upper loop. Its at the top of a ridge and we only had 2 "neigbors" but weren't close at all. We booked a sunday through Tuesday. Only took away one star because it was almost impossible to find the camp host to buy wood or pay extra fees but they drove around once or twice a day . Also the upper loop portal potties need toilet paper but we brought some so it wasn't an issue. We took walks around the park, went to the day use area and bonita park area both days and had an amazing time. Site ten is relatively flat we put our 13 man tent under the large tree and had only a gently slope. As for people saying the creek and sites have trash everywhere, as of october 21st 2025 there is NONE . I genuinely didnt see ANY trash at the campground or at the day use picnic area. We all got in the creek . Our site had a spigot right out side it and it was perfect . And the fire rings are MASSSIVVEE. We will definatly be back before it gets too cold and again in the spring !

Stayed there for 3 days and two nights camp was clean and well maintained although on the second night the lady in charge of the park approached our campsite in the golf cart very rudely and told us we had to turn off our fire because we couldn’t have our wood exceeding the fire pit because it was windy she didn’t even say goodnight or didn’t even give us a warning there was no signs anywhere regarding this matter after she told us she kept circling around we looked at other peoples fire pits and there were some that also had wood out the fire pit

Very well maintained campground. I wish it was actually next to an actual stream or river but it's got very good sites with fire pit and fire grill if needed (which I don't because I have my own wood burning stove) with two concrete picnic tables each. It was very peaceful and I got a lot of reading time in... Also nice people running the place. My second time staying there and definitely not my last.

What a wonderful site. Riley, the camp manager, was very helpful and kind. The coyote roaming the hills behind the campground, barked like a dog for hours. I found it hilarious, others not so much.

Took two of my grandsons to the picnic area. We played in the stream then had a nice little lunch. Was a very nice first experience for the both of us. The camp ground was full so plan ahead for a spot.

Great cozy campground! I like that it's easy to get to- no crazy elevation which is nice. I also like that they have a nearby local market in case you forget to bring something. I also like that the sites are not too close together. Overall, everyone kept to themselves and was respectful of the rules. The camp host was also really cool- checked us in and went around giving updates regarding the weather and if campfires would be allowed since it was windy that day. The only thing that was a bummer were the restrooms. One of the women's restroom had a door missing and didn't flush and the other would leak water. Not a huge deal but I'd be mindful of being some waterproof shoes lol. Still, it was a Great quick getaway from the city. 👍

Stayed here mid October '24 on a Friday overnight with my dog. There were plenty of spots to choose from for First Come First Serve when I arrived around 4p. It was self serve for the payment and claiming an un-reserved spot, which was unexpected with so many reviews talking about a host. I didn't have change, so I overpaid. Unfortunately, the spot that I chose was on the lower loop and there were a lot of large loud groups and barking dogs on that side. The "quiet hours" were not enforced at all - the lower loop was still loud after midnight, and a group started doing a call-and-repeat before 7a. There was also some kind of night construction happening, too. The only time I saw a ranger or "host" was twice in the morning a few hours apart, who told me to leave before check out at noon. I guess because the group with the reservation had come early, even though check in doesn't start until 2p? The camp overall has lots of bathrooms close walking distance from all campsites. There's also faucets with running water, but I think the water isn't potable so I brought my own. There was plenty of toilet paper in the bathrooms (no showers) and they were clean enough with plumbing. Campfires were allowed despite High/Red warning in the provided pits w/ grates, and there's also a stone bbq and picnic table for each campsite. It was very hot in the day and very cool after it got dark. It was a little too cloudy at night for a good view of the stars, but otherwise could be planned for nice visibility with the stretch of road nearby to the shooting range. I wasn't able to find any good trails or ways to access the creek without going to the picnic areas nearby. I did a little hiking in the stretch of road to the shooting range, to where the creek would have been, but it's too hot now for any water there and it wasn't a pleasant hike since there's no trails and just rocks. Highly recommend thick pants if you go out there for some solitary nature experience - there's SHARP plants! If you go to the picnic areas, you do NOT need to pay additionally for the Adventure Day PASS; just keep your reservation in the window. Finding a "first come first serve" spot on a Saturday night without a prior reservation would have been much more difficult, if not impossible, so I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, I may come here again for the price, the creek nearby, and sky visibility. However, I'll be sure to reserve on the upper loop next time and bring exact change.

First time camping here. We had so much fun! Hot weekend, water was ice cold. You can walk up to the creek (upon exiting the campgrounds, make a right, short walk up and picnic area / creek is on your left). Lots of pincher bugs, mosquitoes, etc. on the camp site (I only mention this in case you're a picky camper). We booked spot #28, no shade at all, so I suggest bringing a canopy. However, the camp site to our left and in front has plenty of trees and a water spout (that we used). The camp host appear to be a couple, and their dog - super kind and welcoming! There are no showers on site, so we brought our own pop-up shower. Bathrooms are close and convenient, didn't mind foot traffic from other campers. Dog friendly. No cell phone reception. Can't wait to return!

Went to check it out. Would be good for a quick getaway RV trip. Stopped by the ranger station and walked on a mile long trail.

I was with #boyscouts #troop50 #victorville for a two night camp out. We've been accustomed to vault toilets, no running water and rocky camping spots. So it's a luxury to have running water, flushing toilets and soft grass to pitch our tents on.

The camp hosts were very helpful,and the ground were very tidy.
