Very peaceful and relaxing area of the mountains…read more First time visitors as we are here with a group of 18 family and friends. It is a well kept area, clean and quiet dispute all the critters walking around our tent last night including two hollowing ??? About fifty feet away. This is nature after all. Not a big deal to some but for someone that has not camped in over 30 years, I was wide awake most of the night and now, I need a short nap to recharge. Fully recharged after my nap and I am ready to enjoy the this outing once again. We visited this camp ground with a group of eighteen in all and we had a BLAST! We had camp sites 5, 6, 7 and 8. We all had 6-person tents yet had enough room for twenty-tents as our areas combined were HUGE! We played games, bonfires, ate together, used cots, went hiking, visited a public playground less than one mile away and used a zip line, played volleyball and had a picturesque view of Lake Arrowhead. There is also a hospital w/ emergency services directly in front of our camp ground entrance if such services were ever needed. I can definitely see us returning in the near future but for now, the memories we created will stay with us forever.

Hello, the campground was full this weekend. On Thurs I got…read morea wild hair and checked for reservations and coincidentally I got one night only at the best site #19. Incidentally, when we arrived to check-in, we were greated by a delightful Dennis! He was a wealth of knowledge. He rakes each site before the next person comes. Aside from making it clean for the next person...he picks up all tiny trash and food bits we toss around and dont make it into the fire pit. He cleans all of this up which prevents "visitors" while were sleeping. Yes, visitors. Were in nature but it belongs to squirrels, mice, snakes, bears, coyotes and mountain lions. So we took note and did a full look for any bits we left behind so Dennis could just rake and not worry about out food and trash. He's a great guy and youll hear his cart going around checking on things. He is actually security, housekeeping, front desk, greeter, janitor, grounds keeper, friendly neighbor, game warden for the little camp ground, so be respectful bc he lives where he works. If you hate the thought of snakes and bears, stay some place like a city KOA. This area is lush with trees and full of dry brush...(snakes like the brush!) Also bugs werent an issue whatso ever!....we sprayed ourselves with OFF and were fine. Kept tent zipped up in case of critters. We did not see any snakes or bears. Upon departure we saw a coyote in the morning near the entrance doing his own thing. Upon arrival check in with the Delightful Dennis, your camp host. Follow his directions to a T and youll be fine. I keep a bear bell, air horn and utility knife for protection in my tent. No swimming or showers at camp ground... Swim at Lake Gregory!!!- Arrowhead is a no swim lake.

They also have many spots designated as "first come first serve" which is nice as that means you have a good chance of just showing up on the fly and getting a spot if needed.

The program staff was fun and patient (Camp Hollywoodland, a 5 star review coming your way soon!), The food was fresh and cooked with care & love, The Rangers led hikes + expeditions + info sessions with humor and wisdom, The campground was clean + well-maintained, And of course mother nature for her everlasting beauty. My family had an amazing time. We returned happy, fufilled, and rested.

Our 4th time here, and probably more fun with kids. Our second trip up since both sons were grown,…read morebeautiful surroundings with cabins that are a bit rustic; 2 bunk beds and 1 single (sleeps 5), heater and electrical outlets. You're advised to never turn off your heater because it gets quite cold at night and after lights out, they won't be out to fix it if you can't get it back on again. There is table tennis, archery sign up, crafts, nature talks, s'mores around a campfire, hikes, etc. that are all optional. Saturday night our Ranger even told "ghost" stories, like the time he was patrolling Griffith Park (where he still works), and spotted a lone woman walking the road near Travel Town around 3 AM. Turning around to see if she was alright and pulling next to her; her face was like porcelain and she appeared to be holding something which she was trying to hide. She responded "I'm okay" then walked off toward an extremely thick growth of brush, disappearing before his eyes. He stated that the whole experience gave him "the creeps" and didn't seem real. But our ranger, who shall remain nameless in my review, was also a great guide and leads all 4 hiking excursions. And if you're up to it, if nothing else, do the hike to Heart Rock. Maybe 2-3 miles round trip, but requiring a lot of up-and-down climbing over rocks and roots on the trail. Heads Up: There are wild animals in the vicinity; and yes, bears and bobcats have been sighted. Owls can also be heard late at night. Storing food in your cabin is highly discouraged. And one more note; none of the cabins have locks on their doors. Also more of a rustic, not romantic getaway. Not much romance with only single and bunk beds provided. With thin plastic mattresses that weren't made for comfort. And you supply your own bedding or sleeping bags; don't make the mistake of forgetting your pillow like I did this time. I had to use one of my wife's extra sheets as a makeshift pillow. Not good! I paid for it with less then 2 hours of sleep. I was in a sleeping bag. The road up to and down from Crestline, Hwy 138, is a bit more treacherous then I remembered as well. Check In is from 10 AM - 12 PM Saturday, and Check Out is at 2 PM Sunday. But for 1 night, it's a very full weekend experience, and at $55.00 per person, which includes 4 meals, everything else is inclusive. That is, everything but water. For some strange reason, all camp drinking fountains have been put out of commission. I'm still scratching my head on that one. Yet throughout the entire day, the general store building provides free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate but you have to pay for bottled water. With the exception of free bottles given out this past Sunday while me and Jackie just happened to be playing a game of ping pong. And there is water at each table during mealtimes. A nice getaway though if you don't mind roughing it for 1 night. Camp Seely is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles.

Its not as quiet as I thought the ad explained, when booking one night at this spot…read more It's very rocky & other tent site customers can be quite noisy along with the road near tent set ups that aren't designated. You just find a spot... you'll find out pretty soon that people come riding motorcycles dirt bikes and ATV`s through the road at all times except at night late night other than that it's close to the lake and if you have a fishing license you can fish and plenty of places to shop and eat and a couple of bars if you want to get a drink. No campfires allowed which was a big disappointment but we made do with a propane gas grill. If you don't mind roughing out all that, it's a nice place to set up a tent for the night. Make sure to bring toilet paper trash bags no toilet and bug spray plenty of bugs if you get my drift bugs in your ears no water or running water I should say so baby wipes and plenty of baby wipes. Before I end this review just a little heads up if you've ever been on a scavenger hunt beware it's very secretive and you'll get text messages to find a spot and if you're still confused as we were the host that you book the site with may or may not drive down to meet you and help you out as to where you set up your tent. it's a free-for-all first come first serve place you tent wherever you find a little flat area which isn't very many. Lots of rocks and not very flat right along the dirt road where people come and go riding there vehicle's

I didn't check to see if there's a fee to stay at this site. But in another comment, someone mentioned $115 a night for the group site. There seems to be a parking driveway area for the cars. Then a line of big rocks to separate the parking from the actual campground. There were four tables, three bear boxes, and a vaulted toilet covered by 4 wooden walls. The areas to pitch a tent are decent but some areas would have to be on a slight slope. Or you can get your truck between a couple of the rocks and put your roof top tent up too. You can walk off in many directions to explore. There is a trail from this site leaving down somewhere but we didn't check it out.

Unless you are avid off-roaders, avoid at all costs. We took a girl scout troop up here,…read moreintentionally looking for a group site to avoid interactions with other campers. Having stayed at group sites before, I didn't think this would be any different. We had 4 different groups off off-roaders come and try to intimidate us off the campground. One had the audacity to park and attempt to "share" the site with us. There is a yellow post site down the road and dispersed camping in the area but all were booked. One group started howling and making noises to scare us off at 11pm. Ranger was informed on two different occasions and put the groups on warning. Avoid unless you're an off-roader or like loud, drunk, rowdy neighbors.
