Rancho Jurupa Park is situated along the Santa Ana River and located behind Mt. Rubidoux just west of charming historic downtown Riverside. This popular award-winning regional park boasts a natural semi-rural setting of shady cottonwood trees, graceful meadows, and two lovely lakes, while still providing easy access to the entertainment opportunities and urban conveniences of the city.
Visitors to Rancho Jurupa Park enjoy a gorgeous 200-acre recreational area with many amenities including a thrilling splash pad for water play, a rock climbing playground, miniature golf surrounded by spectacular waterfalls, a disc golf course and two fishing lakes.

Cabin was infested with bed bugs and employee kept making remarks as if my family must have caused the infection, saying that there has not been any mention or report of any type from any other guest from the previous guests that had occupied the cabin in the previous 3 weeks. After continuous conversation as to what would be done to accommodate my family at 3 am, it was divulged by a different employee that the very cabin had been treated for bed bugs only a month prior to our visit. The service and attitude of one of the employee's were not as professional and accommodating as I'd think they could've and should've been, considering the seriousness of the situation. My family and I ended up going to a cabin with some other family members also staying overnight. First time I stayed at the park, which we have our annual family barbecue every year for the past 5 years. First bad experience I've encountered at the park and would recommend using the facilities, except for staying overnight in the cabins they have for rent.
Not a bad place overall, but I would advise anybody planning to camp there in an RV to make sure that loud, partying tent campers won’t be parked next to you when you want peace and quiet for the weekend.
We chose a spot with full hookups but did not notice on the site map that it wasn’t in a part of the park that prohibited tent-camping. So, guess who pulled up next to us around sunset on Friday night? Two carloads of twentysomething partiers with two run-down cars and a raggedy-looking popup trailer. Friday night wasn’t TOO bad, but they spent all day Saturday feebly attempting karaoke CC to their boom box, and continued well past the 10 pm quiet curfew…
My wife and I didn’t say anything, stayed inside the RV most of the time, they didn’t ruin our weekend, but they also didn’t seem to care how much they were bothering others and we had the good fortune of getting stuck right next to them (there were NO other tent campers in our section of the park)…
Again, not a bad place to stay, but watch who you get put next to…
Great place to bring the family for fishing and fun! The cabin my brother rented for his birthday was clean. ac kept the place cool. Nice trail for walking or riding. Bring some bug spray though or get eaten alive by mosquitoes 🦟
It's a nice campground to walk around, thats it. I camped out in a tent and the area was super crowded. the bathrooms were disgusting and someone literally pooped on the floor of one of the shower stalls, yup it was there the whole weekend. No clean up was done. A camper I met was gracious enough to provide me with the private code to use the beautiful, grand, luxurious RV shower stalls... the RV lot looked like a beautiful neighborhood. If your camping here come in an RV or don't bother coming at all, so gross.
