San Bernardino/Serrano

Molly Alvarado

CONS: Showers were not so great. I had some unreasonably loud neighbors. Unattended kids and families were continuously walking through my site. PROS: Plenty of spots to hang my hammock Great cell service to get work done Close to town and easy bikeway access

I had the BEST time at Serrano Campground. The site is located on the north shore (10 min drive from Big Bear). Cougar Crest Trail is in walking distance from the campgrounds (highly recommend if you are looking for a nice hike), and there is a walking/biking path that takes you all the way to the lake. The campgrounds were clean and in great shape. I was shocked with with how clean the restrooms and showers were. A small win is that the showers are free to use so you don't need to lug around a heavy coin purse. Fire wood is available for sale on the grounds if needed and there are park rangers that monitor the entrances which made me feel safe. There are pumps around the sites with water that can be used for drinking or to wash your dishes. The campground is at a distance where it feels like you are out of the city, but there is still cell reception. I will definitely be coming back.

This is a really nice campground. The people are friendly and the place is clean and well maintained. They have free hot showers and they even sell wood at the camp entrance which is really convenient. The campground is very peaceful. Some large groups were a little loud and allowed to have fun without being bothered. It was a very chill atmosphere which is what you want when camping.

2nd time staying at this campground. We enjoyed it a lot 2 years/2 summers ago and returning 08.13-15.25 for another family summer camping trip. We're at Campground # 28 Campground # 27 is accommodating for disabilities. Which was right across from our campground # 28. #27 had majority all pavement in the campsite. Around the picnic table along they have their own water spout for water use. Also located closest to the restroom/showers, has a pavement road leading up to it for easy access. REMINDER there is no washing dishes sink available on these campgrounds nor can you use the restroom sinks to wash anything. There is a sign that it isn't allowed. So make sure to bring your own water! This time around downfall is the electrical plugs in both of the restrooms, weren't working the 2 nights stay we were there. I asked the associates that were driving around daily regards to the power. They told me it's a hit or miss. Sometimes the power isn't working and there's nothing that can be done to fix it. The downfall. Love the Serrano campground since it’s not far from the actual Big Bear village. Still definitely recommend it. Really clean & everyone is respecting each other especially at night.

Beautiful campground. Spacious and very clean, great toilets and hot showers. There is a gorgeous bike path that leads to the lake, campground was very busy but everyone was quiet and respectful. I gave it 4 stars because we saw mice running around our tent few times and it’s the only thing that might stop me from returning unfortunately:(

Beautiful, clean and secure campground. Plenty of space in each campsite. Also lots of things to do nearby at the lake which you are literally steps from. And the best thing of all 20 degrees cooler than down here. You feel safe there. Love this place. I come every year.

Excellent campground! Most of the campsites have nice shade from trees, the Apline Pedal Path goes right through the entrance, and the lake is about a 5-10 minute walk across the street. Booked our next trip here before we even checked out!

Jonathan Valencia

Very nice campground for RVs with hookups and also for regular tent sites. We stayed at site 43 and it is super spacious and not too close from the other sites.

Nathan Hendricks

Really well kept, clean, flat campsites. Excellent large table, fire pit, and bear box. The location is also top notch right across from the lake with a pretty direct path to a little beach by the observatory. Restrooms are large and clean with real toilets and full showers.

This campground has been one of the best for us so far. This has been our 3rd campground and lake arrowhead would be our 2nd best. This campground had private showers. We actually camped out for 2 nights and stayed on #5 which had plenty of room for 6 of us. It seemed to have more space than others and the restrooms/showers were pretty closed which we enjoyed. We came here after Easter and it was pretty quiet and cold at night lol. Recommend this campground if you love big bear you’ll have a great time.
