Cappie’s Scoop: Camping is a lot of fun especially when there are lizards to chase and holes to dig! Our campground was near a walking/biking trail and across the street from a trailhead. I got to hike the trail across the street all the way up to Bertha Peak. It was a lot of fun and I got a great view of Big Bear Lake. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: During the time we camped, the restrooms were clean and water was available throughout the campground. The camp host and security were also very responsive to any inquiries and enforced quiet hours which we enjoyed at night. Beware of coyotes running through the campground and they are incredibly loud when howling in the night! We loved site #86 in the Evening Star area because it had a lot of space in between our neighbors and some shade.
Directions: Take CA-330N/City Creek Road towards Big Bear. Follow the road for almost 15 miles and continue east as it turns into CA-18/Hilltop Blvd. After 12.3 miles, turn left onto CA-38 west. Continue driving about 6 miles and turn right onto N Shore Lane. In 0.1 miles, turn right into the campground entrance.
