The campsites are pretty small but it’s beautiful and there are many amenities. They didn’t tell us to leave due to the storm but it felt heavily suggested. At this point a refund for one of the days would’ve been a great way to have us come back as these reservations aren’t cheap and they had us relocate our site (again because of the storm) after setting everything up. They apologized but continued to encourage us not to stay. Only stayed for one day.
By far my least favorite of the thousand trails they advertise for all these spots, but they don’t tell you there are only like 20+ full hookup sites that aren’t annual residents, and most of those sites are so sideways we lost a prime spot to a employee who likes walking around in his underwear… we were gonna move across to a relatively level spot across from us talked to the people there and everything, then said employee goes and closes the site down to “level” it I told him if your gonna level sites you need to level this one we are so sideways we can’t even dump, then proceeded to close down every other relatively level spot in that area and left ours open, and maybe only 20+ spots for full hookups isn’t a big deal for most but the dump is only open from 9-4 so there’s always a line and it backs up people trying to leave or come back in because of it. the town and view are a must see
Wonderful escape for a few weeks in our RV. The staff is amazing and super friendly. (Shoutout to Bill for helping us choose our spot!) The only downside is that only a handful of sites have full hookups (sewer) and only a few 50amp spots.
Otherwise a lovely place to stay and disconnect. Hikes are gorgeous. Views all around 360°. Wildlife sightings! The lodge is awesome with activities, billiards 🎱 , ping pong 🏓 and books 📚. Also, the fur babies loved the dog park.
One tip - bring bug spray! Flies are circling your face at all times outdoors, but that's just everywhere in Idyllwild.
Also, don't take your dogs walking at night. There are many predators in the area. (Take it from my experience. I lost my cat to a coyote in a similar campground 🐺)
Thousand trails Idyllwild was beautiful.
The drive up was a little getting used to. But well worth it. Very clean, well taken care of. Plenty of restrooms, showers and washrooms throughout the campground. Trails were nice, staff is friendly. I was bummed that the lake was dried up but overall, very peaceful. Everyone was pretty respectful. Definitely coming back.
