June 4, 2018 A great way to escape the heat of Palm Desert...however Their premium priced "meadow view"($53) was a very small back in space with low pine branches. My sewer hookup was up hill, and the water spout was at the front of the site on the opposite side and needed two hoses! I then looked around, and NONE of the spaces I saw looked level. When I complained to the staff, I was told "it's an old campground", and I could switch to a "regular" spot....however no refund of the price difference... Read More

No free access to the lake for campers. Camp store is way overpriced(a small 3lb bag of ice was $5). No WiFi, No cell service(T-Mobile).
BTW.... take the long route! Drive up the mountain from the town of Hemet. DO NOT attempt the Palm Desert side...especially large 5th wheels or class A's. The Hemet approach has a more gradual grade and wider roads.
