We stayed here while I finished out work after our house sold. The site was pretty level, so it made set up easy. We have two dogs, and it was an additional $2 per night per dog on top of the nightly fee. The water is infested with quagga mussels, so I wouldn’t recommend putting your own boat or kayak in. Fishing required a California ... more

We are a full-time family and typically boondock, so take this review of a real state park RV campground with a grain of salt. We're used to having our own space. First, the grounds themselves are OK. Decently clean, though certainly not spotless. There are tons of birds around so just about everything is covered in bird crap (picni... more

It’s been about 13 years since we were here last. The campsites are fairly clean, level and wide. Our 33.5’ rig fit fine. There a picnic table and fire pit for each site. Full hookups and spotty wifi. Cell service (Verizon) was not reliable. My husband managed to get a good signal on his phone but I didn’t. Our TV was able to connect t... more

Decent campground. Full hookups available. Tons of spots and wasn't crowded either of the two times I stayed here. All spots seem to be level. Many pull thru spots available. All in fairly close proximity to the lake. Some trees but shade is at a premium. Few tips... Don't reserve online. They charge an extra $8 for that benefit. ... more

It's been a while since we were here. Still a great park. Not too expensive, great location, full hookups, and an awesome park to explore. Walking/hiking trails for days, kayaking, fishing in Lake Skinner, etc. Tons to do for anyone. We come here, of course, because it's RIGHT in the middle of all the Temecula Valley wineries.

This was our first camp trip with our new trailer. It was the first time with any trailer. We chose this site because it was close, familiar and had pull through sites. The sites were clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and except for the occasional Ranger drive by, they stayed out of site. We spent the afternoon in ... more

We used the Passport America rate for a mid-week stay. It is off-season so the park is quiet and lots of space. You do need to call the park in order to get the Passport America rate. The kiosk staff, host and store staff are very friendly. Our space was flat, clean and easy to access. I agree with another review that stated not m... more
