Bonelli Bluffs RV Park

We arrived on Halloween evening (10/31/20) and lots of kids were out with parents, trick or treating and either didn't see our 1 ton truck pulling a 38' 5th wheel or didn't care as we snaked through very tight turns to get to out site. Several times we sat and waiting for groups to get out of the middle of the roads. Our site was nice, but it was near an airport and when planes took off they sounded like they were going to fly through the rig. They were loud, but they stopped taking off around 10pm. Getting out was a lot easier than getting in and if we were going to stay again, I'd stay in a different part.

We felt lucky to have found a camping spot near my mother-in-law's home in the middle of Claremont. There aren't too many places to pull a 22' trailer into and camp. So we were thankful for Bonelli and we'll probably camp there again when we come down to visit (if Covid is still around).

It's a very crowded campground, at least in mid-October, with people blasting music as if you are not 20 feet away from them. There is no privacy in most spots down in the lower loops (Area E & F). If we come back we'll try to get a spot up on the bluff a bit more but those are stacked up too. It just seemed quieter up there.

There is no wifi unless you sit outside the registration office door on a little cement bench. That was a bummer!
Also, they do not let you in until exactly 1 pm!

But it served it's purpose and the staff who we dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

We will definitely be coming back here. We live in Laos angeles and had been on a road trip up in the northern US. We needed a place to stay as someone was in our house. It was gorgeous. Beautiful lake view, trees, green grass. Spacious sites. Firepits, tho under the current conditions of the wildfires I doubt they allow fires. I loved the chirping birds in the morning.

It is a beautiful place, no doubt and i know this Covid nightmare is in full swing but good signal (either wifi or cell) is important for me as i work remotely. The park had no Wifi (which i dont get but ok..) and i have a whopping 1 bar of verizon in the “C” campsites area.

The drives are VERY narrow and ya gotta really work the trailer into the spots

Long term residents have (so far) been extremely welcoming and that is a great ammenity. But we wont be back

Bonelli Bluffs RV Resort & Campground (formerly East Shore RV Park) – San Dimas, CA
We stayed here for 10 nights in April 2019. At that time it was called East Shore RV Park but now has a new management company and name. We had a fabulous, large site with a spectacular view, site #A108, a Preferred Site. It was back in, level and had FHU, a paved pad, cable, picnic table and a very large grassy area. We had no wifi at our site, our Verizon 4G had 4 bars. Staff was efficient but not overly pleasant. This CG is built on a hill so it has different levels and areas with a variety of site types and sizes. Sites are well placed at 45 degree angles. Laundry room was large and sufficient. We did not check out the restrooms/showers. We would stay here again if we could get the same or similar site.

We stayed here a second time (the first time - covered in a previous review - was amazing), this time on a lower loop than the first. It made a huuuuuuuuge difference, it turns out. Around 10PM every night, the skunks came out in full force. It didn't matter how many people were out and about, how many camp fires were going, or cars going by - they didn't care. We were in a spot pretty close to a dumpster so we constantly had skunks underneath our trailer or at least within a stone's throw. They were pretty bold.

Our dog got sprayed by a young one before we had discovered skunks were a thing here, unfortunately. That was a late night.

The lower loop wasn't as spacious as the ones higher up (near the entrance of the park) but it was fine for the week of July 4th and we spent most of our time visiting family nearby, anyways.

So, yeah, I'd stay here again but maybe in skunk off-season or if I could guarantee a spot on one of the upper loops.

Didn't have trouble getting a good weekday site. Weekends is a different story. We were there Monday through Thursday. If we wanted to stay Friday we were going to have to move to a much less desirable site squeezed between two other RVs. That said, the view was fantastic. Good walking for the dog. Plenty of room to back in to the site. We could have stayed hooked up if we wanted to. However, the roads got tight in the evenings when a few too many people tried to park, often extending into the roads. Lots of long term residents.

Avoid the F section. Tight access on the roads and sites squeezed together.

Great sushi at Kazama Sushi in Claremont.
