I was surprised how much I learned about Big Bear on this tour. Our tour guide/narrator was great!

The process of setting this trip up was super easy from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Lindsey and Trevor were an absolute pleasure to be around and seriously the friendliest, most welcoming hosts. My husband and I did the sunset cruise for a date night and it was SO magical. And the drinks?! DELISH. We had the classic Mai Tais, which my husband was especially stoked about since he used to be a bartender -- and we both agree, Trevor definitely has the bartending skills! 10/10 experience and we will absolutely be doing it again!!

The different activities and they way they engage the kids it's nicely done. The jokes are hilarious for the time. The soldier's ration was a great way to give a nice experience to everyone in regards of the limitations. The ration included a small piece of corn bread, a slice of cheese, a piece or jerky maybe about and inch and an Apple. I would recommend you check the weather before coming. In the summer I suggest bringing a hat because the sun gets pretty hot. In the colder months make sure you layer and maybe even bring a beanie and bring closed toe shoes. We couldn't leave without out trying something from the kitchen. We ordered a Family chicken pot pie. Please read the full instructions before baking. I got home and was working simultaneously and I accidentally burned the top. I skipped the part were you brush the top with egg to make it brown. Instead to brown it I put it in the broiler Next time I'll be bringing and apple pie home as well. You can order ahead of time, but they ask for you to order before 11am if you want your order to be ready by the time the programs is over.

He also took AMAZING photos for us throughout the experience, which made the trip even more memorable. This company has consistently been great. We actually did a tour with them 3 years ago, and it was such a fun and memorable experience that we knew we had to come back again.

I meant to post a review of this charming family campground earlier. We had been planning a camping…read moretrip over Labor Day weekend in Los Angeles National Forest, but then we realized there would be a heat wave leading to 100 plus degree weather. Our planned trip was a no-go. Our eight year old son was very disappointed. We brainstormed Big Bear as a place to go, as it would be a relatively balmy 85 degrees. Only problem was, I couldn't find any openings at any of the Big Bear campgrounds for the busy Labor Day weekend. I looked and looked, and finally found Camp Tanda. Before Covid, it was a Christian camp that only catered to large groups and kids' camps. During these times, they adapted for small families. I was happy to find they had one opening left for the holiday weekend. Our trip was saved. Our son was excited. The campground is lovely and clean with lots of trees. It's been around for seventy years, so the cabins have a rustic, vintage feel. We tent camped in a lovely spot near the kitchen building. Everything was very clean. There are restroom facilities, potable water, and hot showers available. There is also a basketball court, volleyball net, ping pong tables, and horse shoe game. The price is very affordable. The lady running the camp was very kind, bending over backwards to make sure we had all we needed. She provided a shade tent at no extra charge, and gave us a s'mores kit our first night there! Things to be aware of: This was and still is a Christian camp. No alcohol, drugs, or weapons of any kind are allowed. Very strict no noise between 10pm and 8am rule, which suited us fine. The camp is located very close to Big Bear Lake, which meant we could hear Air BnB partiers nearby. It's not fancy. Everything is quite old, but it all works fine. We stayed in tents, but they do have cabins available. Bring warm clothes for nighttime. Not everyone wears masks, but even at full capacity, it was never crowded. Easy to social distance. No campfires allowed, but there is a legal gas campfire from 7-10 pm. If you have a family who likes to camp, this is the place for you. Call or e-mail them for a reservation!
