There are no showers here, but the clean restrooms with running water make camping a little easier. Loved all the shade from the trees and the fire pit and grill at all the campsites. One of the best parts of this campground is how close it is to hiking and biking trails, you can head straight out from camp and be on an adventure in minutes. Big Bear Lake and the village are just a short distance away, so there's plenty to do in the area. This is a well‑kept campground with lots nearby, and bonus points for being dog friendly.

The issues I had were people tying things to the trees leaving huge grooves in the bark, wood gathering, and too many cars and people in campsites. We had a group of about twelve next to us they did have two sites but all stayed at one site with 6 vehicles. Also no campground etiquette... please don't journey through my site. Teach your kids better... I will return as I did like the campground!

Spent 2 nights/ 3 days here on a weekend (Friday-Sunday) in early July with a party of 4. We were…read moresurprised to be able to book a site online less than a week before. When our party arrived at the campsite, the host gave us the option of choosing a different campsite as they said our original site (#11) wasn't great. We camped at spot #74 and it was very spacious with plenty of shade in the afternoon (the mornings were quite hot). There were two dumpster sites a short walk away, and a parking space large enough for our 2 cars (crossover/ hatchback). The potable water pump was also closely accessible across the road. There are no flush toilets at Heart Bar, only vault toilets. However, staff kept the toilet area pretty clean and stocked with toilet paper. Each site has a firepit, picnic table, and bear box. The hosts sell firewood as well. This campground is also dog friendly, and our dogs had a great time. Compared to other campgrounds I've been to, Heart Bar is a lot bigger and feels more secluded and peaceful as there is plenty of space between campsites. I loved it here! Already thinking about when I can make my next trip back.

The camp grounds have a lot of room in between parties so you do not feel so close to each other. The only drawback I found first is the entrance sign is really small and in no time you can miss it. I want to say I missed it the first time because I was hoping to see a bigger sign. Otherwise the campgrounds volunteers were very kind and helpful. Lots of pine trees with so much to explore. I fell in love with this camp site and I highly recommend to take your own trash back home. I found many of the dumpsters the next day full. I do not think it is to much to ask. It was a perfect weekend with a full-moon and it does get a bit chilly at night with thin air. It was really refreshing to get out of the city and relax under so many trees. Our experience was our neighbors were peaceful and kind. if you forget firewood they do sell some on site. extra small car parking fee per night $7.

I've camped here a few times and it's always a good experience. Not too far from LA and Highway 38…read moreis a much easier drive than Highway 18 going to Big Bear in my opinion. Flush toilets and free showers available (both are generally clean with adequate hot water to shower with, and you'll see the "off duty" host clean them every day, but their condition will be highly dependent on your neighbors). There are a few hiking trail options during your stay: from inside the campground, if you follow the trail by the entrance/the hosts' RVs, to the right, a quick scurry across the highway, there's a mile long hike up to Jenks Lake. If you go left, you'll go through a few other campsites, then an amphitheater, and then an overlook area with a picnic table. There are a few loops in the trees behind the campgrounds, but I'm not sure where they lead as I just turned around eventually. The east loop (1-22) feels more spread out and private although there aren't really too many decent places to hang a hammock in most spots. The west loop (23+) feels a little closer together (but also not bad) with a lot more trees for shade and to hang hammocks. The west loop also tends to have more RVs and generator users for whatever reason though. I've mostly stayed on the east loop and would suggest bringing a canopy for shade. Even though the temperature may not seem that high, the sun is HOT, and is a little unbearable around 1 PM - 3 PM. Surprisingly, bugs are mostly a non issue even in the summer. Bundles of firewood for sale if conditions allow. $10 a bundle as of 07/2025 cash only. Expect each bundle to last about an hour. The host will go around selling however many fits on their cart or you can just drive your car up to the active host and fill your trunk. Big Bear is also a 30 minute drive away.

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.

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.

There is a lodge area suited for food service with lodge tables. Everywhere is woodchipped and paths are well marked with rocks lining walkways. The roads leading up to the campsite can be difficult to find as markers are a little hidden but once you get used to the drive, it is very easy to navigate. Big Bear lake is about 40 minutes away from this site. Grab pie on your way up to the site and enjoy a weekend up here- oh but be aware of beard and rattle snakes!

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.
