Big Pine Flat Family Campground

This is a secluded campground located northeast of Big Bear lake. It takes roughly 30 minutes on a winding dirt road. Lots of off-road vehicles and ATVs here.

Nice campground. We came in late at night so we stole the camp host spot. He came to collect fees in the morning and was totally understanding and super helpful explaining where the other campgrounds and yellow post sites were. Unfortunately they were out of water when we went but everything was clean and well maintained. Will definitely be back!

Guy running the camp ground is rude as heck. Literally was interrupted right in the middle of eating lunch by the guy just to be solicited that it was a camp ground. He could've been nice about it. So we had to pack up our half eaten lunch and picnic table into our trucks and drive across the street to the visiting area.

Nice spot to camp with OHVs. Getting a trailer/RV here is a lot harder than the maps would have you believe. It’s 45-60 minutes of dirt road travel once you leave Fawnskin. Any high clearance car/suv would be much easier but there’s plenty of areas where passing isn’t possible so meeting traffic could mean someone backing up to a clearing. Check website for annual season opening dates.

Great for OHV Camping. 4 stars due to no natural water sources like creeks, lakes etc nearby. Campsites are small, but it has running water and outhouses. 33' is the max trailer length. Weather is always better than surrounding areas no matter the season. No cell service, nearest is 2 miles away or on a ridge. Fire rings and picnic tables present. Shooting range a half mile away, but closes 1 June to 1 November I think.
