From north of jct I-68 (exit 29) & Hazelton Rd: Go 3 mi S on Hazelton Rd.
We were there for a bike race. Great park with really nice camp sites!
Went to the Bike Festival there, which is a yearly event. Was invited by my daughter who teaches classes there in skills techniques needed for mountain trail biking. Enjoyed the company of approximately 800 friendly mountain bikers.
Facilities there are kept clean on a daily basis, and include hot showers all day long.
I'm definitely looking forward to attending again next year!
We own a camp here. We absolutely love it. Great people and places to see. Also great atmosphere
Way overpriced deeded properties . Very loud place especially around the waterpark area . The comfort stations are very dirty with all the kids in and out . Guaranteed a dirty seat if you have to sit , and no toilet paper ever !!!
Bring your own TP/Clorox wipes !!!!!!
Very crowded lots no real privacy very limited as far as how you build pavillians or sheds . Make sure you read the building codes before you buy . You really need about 4 lots in a row if there is no neighbors behind you
Or street to street 6 lots definently (3 in front , 3 in back ). Then you hope your neighbors aint there when you are .
Theft is a huge problem . Everything from firewood , outside , to anything inside . If you dont want it stolen take it back home with you .
Loud at night also , everyone partying for sure 🍺🍺🍺 🤓 .
Its definitely a place to party all night for the adults and let the kids run wild .
The weather in the summer is great .
Only 2 stars because its terribly crowded , Big Bear craming in to much in a limited space , and overcharging for everything . The waterpark is great for the kids but you dont want to own property anywhere near it . Same thing with the lake , way over rated . Very small .
It's nice to look at and would be great if you had it all to yourself but unfortunately you don't have it all to yourself .
Very limited lakefront properties and way overpriced .
The bike trails a big hit but it uses to much of the property and has been commercialized . You really cant just enjoy the woods anymore . I wouldnt call it a private campland anymore .
They will let anyone in if theres money to be made at the deed owners expense . Less private for a deed owner for sure !
Also if your thinking of buying these properties with 20- 30 year old or older campers , chipmunks and mice have been chewing on these things for years
And are well established here . Make sure you inspect very well .
They chew through everything from wires , pvc lines , plastic bins etc...
If you got quads motorbikes golf carts outside they'll chew everything on it that they can .
So when people say they're leaving it for you don't think they're doing you a favor it's basically garbage and you got to get rid of it and all that cost money and time !!!
Also make sure if you got a golf cart make sure it has a batteries cuz that's a high theft item . And even then if you have batteries they might be bad got to buy a new ones. $$$$$$$$
You also have to factor in the winter time snow . Anything that's close to the ground within 3 ft is going to rot . sometimes big bear will get a lot of snow up there when theres none at lower elevations. Building codes here prevent proper measures to winterize to your liking .
Winter time is usually when a lot of theft occurs and you could leave your sheds open or whatever you have and you can only hope that they close it back up when they're done looking .
🤣🤣 . Rodents and animals will just chew it all up if they aren't courteous to close it back up .
Like I said before make sure you take anything valuable home with you after you're done with the camping season .
On an end note don't believe all these five star reviews . I'm telling you the real deal !!!!!!! Not a private Camp land , like I said , like it used to be .
Beautiful but security is a joke. We pay thousands of $ to own camps and yearly assessments to have security not vet guests upon entry. Holidays are always havoc and guests always destroy something. Police.do patrol but if you want to drive a golf cart drunk with no worries of getting pulled over or watch kids under 10 with a cart full of kids wreck havoc, this is the place to be. People don't watch their teens and they're disrespectful to the adults and bully the little kids. Accommodations could be updated like pool and mini golf and some of the bathhouses are very nice, others not so much.
