Overall Rating: (on a scale of 1 – 10)

Pros:
Everything from tents to big rigs welcome.
Pull through sites!
This place is HUGE over all. Clusters of camping with large areas of land and activities between.
Camp Store
Fishing, boating
Bicycle rental
Lots of trails, walkways
Children friendly; many things to keep kids busy-water park, several playgrounds, dirt areas and paved areas for riding bikes, etc
Full hookups and partial

Cons:
Potential ant problem; we were warned and bought ajax to deter but they are big and black and saw them everywhere- didn't end up having issues at our site though

Sites are too close, bbq pits adn benches are so close that you'd hope you either know the neighbors or are really social.

Wifi was pay per use and cell phone was spotty coverage

Comments:

Rate: $ nightly rate, weekly or monthly if you know it.

WILL BE BACK LATER TO EDIT AND CONTINUE WITH THIS.

That area looks very familiar.

You might also want to check out Lake Perris which has a camping/RV area near the lake. There is a huge beach there that is open for swimming and boating. That is just a little ways north of where you are there.

I was thinking about trying it but heard bad things... we'll give a try though, at some point, as we'll run out of places to go being tethered to my husbands office for awhile. :roll:
