Green Valley Campground

Tucked away between Big Bear and Arrowhead is the nice, quiet campground at Green Valley Lake. I've been twice now and found the camp hosts to be kind and welcoming, the bathrooms to be excellently maintained, and the setting pretty perfect.

Most sites are sized well enough for a few tents, however there are a few with uneven, sloped terrain that might make a tent difficult: so van campers and RTT-users can claim those. Be sure to look at the available sites on something like campsitephotos, in addition to the ones on the reservation site, in order to gauge whether a site is good for your group.

Some sites are tucked away and offer extreme privacy, and some.well, don't. Some are expansive but lack a lot of level ground, most have at least some tree cover. The family camp site (or double site) is all +. Tucked away, expansive, level. You even get a little bridge and babbling brook.

There is a short 3ish mile hike available that starts above the campsites and loops around and ends nearer the town that has great views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And a longer hike available as well.

Absolutely loved this campground! Just spent last weekend there. Our campsites were great. As a group of 7 we easily split 2 sites next to each other. But I will say it is hard to tell from the website how big each is. So if you have an opportunity scope out the different sites I highly recommend doing that. The bathrooms were kept very clean and well lit. The camp hosts are super nice and do an amazing job keeping an eye on things and keeping the sites tidy and ready for guests. Each site seems to be equipped with a fire pit and a bear box - which you definitely should use! We saw a bear while we were there. I would highly recommend this as a great place that feels far away and quiet but is honestly not too far of a drive from most of Southern California!

This is our second time visiting green valley campground. This time there was damage from a storm at the campground we had reserved. But thankfully Judy called well before hand and moved us to a open sites that fit our group and was very comfortable. I appreciated the communication and help Judy gave us to have an amazing camping trip!

This campground is beautiful! It's a little bit secluded, and most of the sites have nice shade. The restrooms are kept very clean and the camp hosts are so friendly! It is in bear country so you should be diligent about keeping your food in the provided bear lockers.

Great place to camp! Nice views and spacious campsite. The restrooms were very very clean. Our camp hosts Judy and Ed were amazing! They were extremely hospitable and informative. They were very sweet, and made the experience that much more enjoyable! Will definitely be back. Would highly recommend.

We come every year for the 4th of July. This year was the best. The 2023 camp hosts go above and beyond. The bathrooms were the cleanest we have ever seen them. The camp hosts were super communicative and helpful. I wish these hosts could stay every year!

Beautiful campground! Site #33 is amazing but will only accommodate 1 large vehicle, less than 10'. Right now, there's a little stream right behind it that you can hear. Lots of shade and very private.
