The Good: Friendly staff! Great rates. Gated so it felt safe. Wi-Fi worked good. Lots were graveled but level. Propane refill on site was handy, but we left during lunch hour so didn't get to use it. The Bad: Close to a busy road so you do hear a bit of traffic. It is nothing to worry about compared to other parks we've been at. No fenced dog area, which is a big thing for us, but there was a large grassy area the dogs were allowed on. Unfortunately some of their guests are terrible about clean up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has an interesting variety of sites. There are very nice concrete patios on the passenger side. But obstacles on the driver side make it a very narrow fit for the coach on the pad. Our first visit years ago (with a 32' double slide) was an over nighter in a pull through. The fit was tight enough that I wasn't comfortable with extending the driver's side slide. Our current coach is a 37 footer with three slides. The driver's side slide runs the length of the coach. Our back in site required very careful placement to avoid rubbing the sidewalls against the patio slab yet still open the driver's side slide without hitting the power pedestal. Our previous two pull through sites were long and narrow. Many of the sites in that area are side by side hook-ups. Some of the sites are nicely staggered to avoid opening into your neighbor's door. Others are not. Our current site, in an area usually reserved for more long term stays, is huge. Getting the RV correctly into the site (and it did require leveling pads under the front tires to keep the jacks from raising them off the ground) was challenging, but worth it for a 3 day stay in this most definitely a desert setting. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate is Good Sam, AAA, Seniors, PA. You get a discount, but less than 10% off the daily rate. OK park, paved roads, gravel sites. Extremely narrow sites, but long. Virtually empty except for seasonals; park maybe 20% occupied at the most. Everyone had a dog and they were all noisy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A good place to stay in this area. We had previously stayed at Mojave Narrows County campground but between the constant train traffic and "locals" that hang out there, we're done with it. This place is convenient, close to restaurants (including Starbucks and In N Out!)and shopping. The manager was great and took me around to find a spot that I could get my 34' 5th wheel into since the pull through sites were all taken. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very narrow gravel pull-throughs, not very level. WiFi & TV good. Close to shopping and I-15. Very clean park even though permanent guests ring the outside of the park. We stay here only because it's the best place in the area. Not saying much for Hesperia and Victorville. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed overnight, very convenient to I-15. Older park, sites are long enough but quite narrow. Our slides wouldn't extend in the site assigned but we were able to switch easily. Lots of noise from highway and town. Not much shade. Pool, spa, restrooms & laundry facilities all nice and clean. We were given the combo for the gate as it closes at 6 pm. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good cable reception and wifi worked well. Would stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pretty nice older park. Lots of permanent or long term, but well maintained and clean units. Spaces are small and okay, but not great big rig spaces. Wi-Fi very poor, down load and read email, very slow transmit speed, forget website viewing. Okay pet area but no enclosed space. Decent place for a quick stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet park just north of LA area with easy freeway access. Gravel sites without lots of shade, but clean restrooms and great pool for a reasonable price. Seemed like a number of permanent residents with well-kept sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed her on three other occasions and have had problems finding an adequate site for a big rig on each occasion. The sites are narrow gravel/dirt with cement patios. The electrical hookup boxes are older and taller than most which can cause a problem with slide-outs hitting them if not careful. They also have tall vent pipes about every other site which makes it difficult to extend slide outs. There are several trees which need trimming to prevent rubbing on the RV's. The utilities are fine with good electrical. All in all the staff was very friendly and allowed us to pick a site since the park was pretty empty. The park has good Interstate access and is close to shopping and restaurants. One highlight is their Saturday morning breakfast served in the club house. It is an all you can eat for $2/per person and very good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean, well run park. Staff was friendly and helpful and let us look around at other sites than what they had assigned our reservation. It is convenient with easy access to highways. The pool was being cleaned thoroughly the morning we left, so we didn't swim; but it appears to be a very clean pool in good repair. We would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It's true, the sites are narrow, especially if you have slide out rooms. The office was kind enough to try to keep from renting the space next to ours when other sites were available since it was a tight squeeze for even a travel trailer to fit into the space. The management seems very disorganized. The original site we were assigned was occupied when we arrived, and they didn't know how many units were coming in from a group they had booked to arrive the next week. We thought we might have to move during our stay but lucked out. Also, note they are not set up to accept US Postal deliveries at the street address,. Our mail got sent back to its place of origination. The park has many residents, but overall the folks we met were friendly. It is very convenient to the freeway without a lot of noise, and shopping was a breeze. There was easy access to the park, and price was about right for what you got. Laundry was functional but very cramped when other campers/residents utilized it at the same time. Disappointed that the pool was not up and running. With the park full and the weather warm it would have been much better to relax around the pool. We might stay here again, in a pinch, just because of the easy on, easy off access to the freeway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice, very clean little park. Usually no trouble with availability. Level sites on packed gravel with cement pads. Pull-throughs are very close together sharing the same hookup island. I think they're called side-by-sides. Most of park is permanent or monthly resident RV's. But none are junky, real old or run-down. Wi-Fi is free: the signal is weak, but still functional. Max number of TV channels. Complaint: the grounds crew showed up at 6:50 AM and started mowing: loud! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
GOOD NEWS: Clean cement and gravel sites; staff person was very helpful and conscientious. BAD NEWS: NO FREE Wi-Fi. The poor staffer must tell callers that they have "free Wi-Fi" when they call to make reservations. After many frustrating attempts to use this "free Wi-Fi" including the staffer trying to help me find a location, I finally asked to see the Wi-Fi device. It was a tiny, cheap thing that was ineffective and improperly connected. What a waste of time! EXTREMELY SMALL SITES. Sites are narrow and packed in. Some big rigs couldn't open their slide outs. Those that did manage to get them open, could probably open their windows and hold hands between rigs. MY RECOMMENDATION: Go to the other slightly older, but more spacious park in the area. Or, for even more space in a park setting among more natural surroundings, go to the Regional Park. See this site for reviews of other parks in this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is a very pleasant place to get off the hot desert highway and stay a night or two. The staff person was friendly and helpful. The campground is well maintained. There is a security gate that is closed at night and you are provided with the number combo to open it. This is the second time we have stayed here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Extremely clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Some sites are a little narrow but usable. Wi-Fi signal is very weak in the RV section, the staff will allow you to go to the mobile home section where you can get a good signal. All facilities are very clean. Close to the 1-15 and 395. I will absolutely stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our first visit to this park. A great place for overnight or short stay. Very clean and quiet. There is a nice pool and spa, the laundry facilities were small but clean and in good condition. We are not a fan of side by side hookups, or I would have rated them higher. We will stay here again for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good Sam Discount is accepted. This is a great over nighter. Sites are a bit tight but usable. It is easy on and off I-5. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is easy access from I-15 or Hwy 395. It is kept clean but the sites are close together on the hookup side and narrow. The sites are gravel and level with the patio area cement. Ok for overnight or short stay although there appear to be several permanent residents. Wi-Fi was adequate if you are close to the office, otherwise marginal. We've stayed here before, mainly because of the convenience to the major highways. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have used this RV Park a lot in the last 6 years. We stay there so we don't have to drive in to Los Angeles. If is a very handy park for this. The park is clean and the manager is very helpful and friendly. We will stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here during the terrible windstorms last year. This park seemed to be out of the worst of the wind. It's very clean, but the sites are fairly narrow. The helpers are great (I think they might be snowbirds and just like to help). It's in a convenient location with easy access to the interstate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has little to offer other than a place to park with hook-ups. The area is not scenic, it only happens to be on the way to/from Las Vegas. The RV portion of this park is one or two rows of old side by side hook-ups, with narrow gravel pads and cracked concrete "patios". The large pipes protecting the hook-ups were at a very awkward height and location, and were the source for a large dent in the slide of a neighboring RV. There is no landscaping in the RV/overnight area. The rest of the park is mobile homes and permanent RV residents. The facilities are stark and tired. We stayed one night and do not plan on returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A good park to stay in while visiting the area. Sites are gravel pull-throughs with shared hookups; not all will accommodate slide-outs. Sites are fairly level with a shade tree. Good cable TV, close to shopping, but also close to I-15 (noise). Gate locked after 6:00 PM, a nice touch in this area. Office has limited hours and no supplies, and propane is cheaper across the street at the gas station. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Still haven't seen much of this campground, as we were tired and it was near dark when we pulled in. This was the alternative to the skanky Wal-Mart we were originally going to stay at in Barstow. Within 5 minutes, crackheads were begging for money, so we came here. Looks very nice. Gates closed after 6pm, which makes me at least feel secure. Tons of cable TV channels, in English,
Spanish, and something Asian. No official Wi-Fi, but I found 2 unsecured networks to use. Park is quiet, but not too far from I-15. Kind of pricey, as the above rate is for Good Sam. I'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We could only give a 3 rating because there was NOT a dump station! The campground is nice and if you like birds: plenty! We were here for one night only. We don't fish, but apparently the fishing is good! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight during December. A number of locals were fishing in the lake in the afternoon. There was only one other party in the campground proper with us. We had a lake view with electric hookup but no water hookup. Other sites have both hookups but no view. We liked the place for a short stay, nothing to rave about, but quiet, clean, fenced off. I believe the electric box had a 50A receptacle (I only need 30A), but the fuses may have been 30A. If you need 50A just call to get the low-down. Overall, I would recommend the place for a stop-over. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a city of Hesperia municipal park, & the condition is about what one would expect for that. It's high desert, flat, open & a long way from luxurious. It's obviously under-funded & needs maintenance, but it's kept clean, well-run & quiet time was well enforced despite an annual "pow wow" being held there the weekend we were there. It's off a rural road, so there was very little road noise to disturb our sleep. It's certainly not a "destination" but, based on the reviews of the other places in the area, including a cousin I have who lives there, it seems the place of choice for an overnight or two if the opportunity presents. We would stay there again when in the area. The lake yielded 1 huge trout & several large catfish that we saw during our 3 days there. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Well maintained park operated by the County of San Bernardino. The sites are roomy, level and easy to access. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. The Mojave River Forks name implies that a flowing river would be nearby. In fact, the Mojave River is not readily accessible to the campground and only flows seasonally. For watersports, Silverwood Lake is only a 10-minute vehicle ride away. The main activities featured at this park are hiking and equestrian trails. We made reservations ($5.00 fee) at www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/parks/ and only had to show our reservation confirmation at the entrance gate. We camped at site #18 which did have a shade tree. A very quiet park and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was nearly deserted when we camped here. There are a number of sites with full hookups and others (in a different section) without any. Each site has a table and a firepit, also a grill. There seemed to be a shade tree or two at each site, along with grassy areas. Sites are packed gravel and seemed ample for most rigs. The restrooms are older and fairly basic, but were well maintained. A quiet, peaceful place with lots of acreage on which to walk or ride bikes. This is a San Bernardino County park and the only payment method accepted when we visited was cash. There is an on-site host. Note that you must have proof of insurance on your rv, plus show the registration papers before you are allowed to register. We stayed here for two nights and would happily stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Another typical CA state park- a bit run down and dirty, tiny sites close together, packed on weekends. This is a wonderful mountain reservoir, clean and scenic. With CA-138 running along 3 sides of the canyon, don't expect any quiet. The road in (from I-15 to the west of the park), roads within, and sites are a bit tight for a big rig, but with care and skill can be managed. Friendly rangers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground. Clean and well patrolled, which is nice if you aren't an all-night partier. Nice sites with tables and fire rings, and plenty of room for tents. Good shade and open grass area. Great family campground. Miles and miles of bike trails. The map is a little misleading - it looks like you are closer to the water than you really are. It's a little hike to get down to the lake. But it's still a nice spot, and the fishing is okay. Nice weekend getaway! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A very nice state park. It is heavily used in the summer but not in the winter. There is a boat rental, store and sites are spacious. We will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice family park run by the state. Big level, paved sites with lots of room between sites. Lots of trees, and room to run. Pay showers are heavily used by tent campers, but looked to be in decent shape. Dump station at entrance. Bikepath runs down to the lake about 1 mile away. Good fishing at the lake. It is VERY hot here in the summer, though. Not many local stores, so stock up on supplies before you go. There was a fire on the edge of the CG about 2 years ago, and there are still a few signs of it left. Overall, a good place to spend a weekend with family. We camped here in a Motorhome.
