Holcomb Valley Ranch

We had our wedding at HVR at the end of July 2026...safe to say, it was quite literally the BEST DAY EVER!! The bride and grooms suites were clean and set up nicely. The shower's were clean, and many of our family members used them and said they were great! Ed, the camp host, was FANTASTIC!!! Super accommodating, and helpful! He and some staff even joined us during the reception lol We've heard from so many friends and family members that our wedding was the best/coolest/most emotional/beautiful wedding they've ever attended and I truly think HVR had a huge roll to play! 10/10 could not recommend them more. Here's pics from the wedding day and the rehearsal :)

Visited Holcomb Valley Ranch in Big Bear while attending the Young Men’s Weekend event, and the setting was absolutely incredible. The location itself is impeccable — wide open, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It’s easily one of my favorite camping spots. There’s something special about waking up to the sound of wild horses in the morning, a rare experience that adds to the atmosphere. I camped here for 3–4 days, and it was remarkably quiet and relaxing. The only noise came from a road behind the property where off-roading vehicles passed, but it was minimal and never distracting enough to take away from the overall peace of the place. The land is vast, giving everyone plenty of space to spread out and enjoy without feeling crowded. For anyone looking for a spot that combines natural

We camped at site E3 at Holcomb Valley Ranch and it was such a memorable experience. The ranch itself is incredibly peaceful, with beautiful views & surrounded by towering pines, open meadows and wide-open skies that make for amazing stargazing at night. We had a bit of an adventure when we first arrived late in the night—our Tesla Model 3 got stuck on the way in. To our surprise and gratitude, few of the folks from the ranch along with camp host Ed came over to help pull us out, even though one of them had his daughter’s wedding to attend within the hour. That kind of generosity and helpfulness is rare and we are so grateful and blessed to encounter this. The campsite at E3 is spacious and quiet, a great spot if you want a mix of privacy and views. That said, it’s important to note that i

Great place for a camping detour, very scenic. You'll find the most helpful people as your camp hosts. Make sure to look out for big bumps on the road and especially if you have a sedan, otherwise your car may get high-centered.

I am not one to write bad reviews - I know everyone has a bad day or certain things happen. However, what was supposed to be a peaceful getaway in the forest because a terrible experience. So, I received a call on the way up the hill from HVR staff. I was told there are NO fires permitted due to safety reasons; after all there was just a big forest fire (the Gold Fire) that had burned nearby. I was told that charcoal or propane fires are acceptable. I was also told that there was a huge wedding this weekend (first I had heard about this, else I would not have booked a site here, but more on that, later...). He said I will indeed see people with fires at various sites (which we did), and those are OK (for them, not me or anyone not in the wedding party), because they had booked this a long
