One of the best things about basing your RV in Yucaipa is the incredible variety of camping within a short drive. From alpine forests to desert oases, here are five RV-friendly destinations our customers love. Before you head out, remember that a quick pre-trip inspection keeps these adventures worry-free.
1. Yucaipa Regional Park
Right in our backyard, Yucaipa Regional Park offers RV camping with lakes for fishing, swimming areas, and easy access. It is a great spot for a quick local getaway or a shakedown trip to test your RV before a longer journey.
2. Big Bear Lake Campgrounds
A scenic drive up Highway 38 brings you to Big Bear Lake, with several forest and lakeside campgrounds. The cool mountain air is a welcome escape from summer heat, though the elevation and cold nights can be demanding on your RV systems.
3. San Bernardino National Forest (Barton Flats area)
Along the Highway 38 corridor, the Barton Flats area offers a string of forest campgrounds surrounded by tall pines. It is a favorite for RV owners who want a true mountain camping experience close to home.
4. Lake Perris State Recreation Area
About an hour away near Moreno Valley, Lake Perris offers RV sites with boating, fishing, and swimming. It is a popular summer destination and a great place to put your RV to use.
5. Oak Glen and the Apple Country
Just up the hill from Yucaipa, the Oak Glen area is famous for its apple orchards and fall festivities. While camping options are more limited, it makes a wonderful day trip and seasonal destination for local RVers.
