Campgrounds near Colton, California
Colton sits in the Inland Empire at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, putting RV travelers within an easy drive of both city-edge full-hookup parks and the alpine campgrounds of the San Bernardino National Forest. Inside the city and within a few miles, Terrace Village RV Park, Reche Canyon Mobile Estate and RV Park, San Bernardino RV Park, and Mission RV Park offer paved, level sites suited to longer rigs, with the standard utility connections RV renters expect. About an hour northeast, the mountain corridor along Highway 18 and Highway 38 climbs into pine forest above 5,000 feet, where Forest Service campgrounds serve trips focused on Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. Thousand Pines Christian Camp adds a group-style option in the same range. The combination lets families base near Colton for errands, theme-park day trips, and freeway access, then move up to cooler elevations when summer valley heat builds.
Things to do near Colton
San Bernardino National Forest sits a short drive from Colton and offers hiking, scenic drives, and mountain landscapes. Lake Arrowhead is known for boating and fishing, while the Rim of the World Scenic Byway provides panoramic views of the San Bernardino Mountains. Big Bear Lake is a popular destination for water sports in summer and skiing in winter. Closer to town, families use the Colton base for day trips to Glen Helen Regional Park, the Mission Inn district in Riverside, and the outlet shopping in Ontario. Trailheads on the south slope of the San Gabriels and along the Santa Ana River are reachable in under an hour. Joshua Tree National Park and the high desert lie to the east, making a multi-stop loop realistic from a single Colton-area site.

Seasons split sharply between the valley floor and the nearby mountains. From late spring through early fall, Colton itself runs hot and dry, with afternoon highs commonly in the 90s, and RV renters often shift uphill to escape the heat. Higher-elevation campgrounds in the San Bernardino Mountains offer relief from summer heat but may close during winter snow, while the valley around Colton can push past 100°F in summer. Spring brings the most comfortable valley weather and reliable mountain access once snow clears. Summer is peak season for Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, and Forest Service reservations move quickly. Fall is the sweet spot for many travelers: warm days, cool nights, low rainfall, and lighter crowds after Labor Day. Winter is mild in Colton but can close mountain roads and campgrounds, and developed campgrounds near the San Gorgonio Wilderness close during the winter months. Fire restrictions also tighten during hot, dry stretches, so checking current forest orders before a mountain trip is essential.

The trailer worked well for us, especially when a cold spell brought temperatures below freezing for couple of nights in the end of May. It was easy to tow up into the mountains and back. Jonathan is a great host. He is very helpful and accommodating, quick to answer questions, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Will rent from him again.
Igor G. - Jun 2026
Jonathan is great and the trailer was in great shape and exactly what we needed. I'll definitely be renting from him again.

How to book near Colton
Private RV parks in and around Colton, including Terrace Village RV Park, Reche Canyon Mobile Estate and RV Park, San Bernardino RV Park, and Mission RV Park, take direct reservations by phone or through their own websites. Weekly and monthly stays are common at these properties, so calling ahead for nightly availability during peak weekends is wise. For Forest Service campgrounds in the surrounding mountains, bookings go through Recreation.gov. For most San Bernardino National Forest locations, individual sites can be reserved six months in advance and group sites twelve months in advance. Thousand Pines Christian Camp handles group bookings directly through the camp office. Vehicles parked at developed Forest Service trailheads and day-use areas on the San Bernardino National Forest must also display an Adventure Pass.
What to expect near Colton
City-edge parks near Colton are paved, mostly flat, and built for travel rigs rather than tent campers, with full hookups, laundry, and some freeway noise at certain addresses. Mountain campgrounds are a different experience: pine and fir forest, cooler nights, and often no hookups. At Barton Flats, for example, there are no hookups, though parking aprons are paved and a dump station is available. Cell coverage drops once Highway 18 or Highway 38 climbs above the foothills. Bears are active in the higher campgrounds, so food storage rules are enforced. California campfire permits are required for any fire use in the forest, including charcoal grills and gas stoves, and fires may be prohibited during high-risk periods. Layers are useful for mountain stays even in summer, and extra drive time helps on the winding two-lane roads.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Colton, CA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Colton, and are there ways to save?
RV rental in Colton is affordable, especially if you plan ahead or travel outside peak summer. Expect nightly rates from about $95 for travel trailers up to $250 or more for larger Class A motorhomes, with spring and fall offering the best value. To save, book during shoulder seasons, consider week-long trips that often unlock host discounts, and compare listings using the RVezy filters. Early spring and late fall bring lower demand, more choice, and great value for your Colton RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Colton%2C%20CaliforniaWhat license do I need to rent and drive an RV in Colton?

Yes. Many hosts in Colton offer RV delivery directly to your home, event, or a nearby campground such as San Bernardino RV Park or Glen Helen Regional Park. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy when you search, then your host will set up the RV and provide a walkthrough on site. It is the easiest way for first-time renters or families to start a Colton RV trip without driving a larger rig through city streets.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Colton%2C%20CaliforniaHow far can I drive my RV rental from Colton, and what are popular routes?
You have plenty of range. Most hosts set a daily mileage limit, often 100 to 150 miles per day, and RV rental with unlimited mileage options are available using the filter on RVezy. From Colton you can reach Big Bear Lake (about 35 miles), Joshua Tree National Park (about 75 miles), Palm Springs (about 60 miles), or Las Vegas (about 220 miles).

You have several solid choices. Popular RV campgrounds near Colton include San Bernardino RV Park (big-rig friendly with full hookups), Glen Helen Regional Park (family activities and fishing lakes), and Prado Regional Park in nearby Chino. Overnight parking in Colton city lots is not allowed, so plan to book a proper RV site in advance. Many parks offer late check-in, just confirm your arrival time with the campground or your host.
parks.sbcounty.gov/park/glen-helen-regional-park/When is the best time for an RV trip in Colton?
Colton is a year-round RV destination, but the sweet spot is March through May and September through mid-November. These months bring warm days around 70 to 85 F and cool nights, perfect for RV camping in Colton or trips toward Mt. Baldy. Summers can be hot, often above 95 F in July and August, so plan early starts and pick shaded campgrounds. Winters are mild, with December highs near 60 to 70 F, great for low-crowd adventures.
weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=sgxIs Colton a good starting point for first-time RV renters?

Every RVezy host provides a personal walkthrough at pickup or delivery, covering slides, stabilizers, leveling, the kitchen, and waste systems. The area has wide highways, RV-friendly fuel stations, and easy drives to nature. Choose delivery if you would rather skip city driving, and ask your host any questions before you go: you will feel at home behind the wheel quickly.

help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I drive my Colton RV rental to another state or Canada?
Interstate road trips are common for RV rentals from Colton: just message your host with your travel plans to confirm. Trips to Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are popular for parks like Zion, Grand Canyon, and Joshua Tree.

help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on an RV road trip from Colton?
A little planning saves money. Most motorhomes average 8 to 12 mpg, while travel trailers and campervans usually do better, especially at speeds under 65 mph. Local California gas prices typically range from about $4.50 to $5.50 per gallon, so a round trip to Joshua Tree (about 150 miles) often costs $60 to $100 in fuel. Fill up in Colton or Fontana before heading into the mountains, where prices are usually higher.
energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/transportation-energy/california-retail-fuel-outlet-annual-reportingHow far ahead should I reserve campgrounds near Colton?
Book early, especially for weekends and holidays. Top campgrounds near Colton like Glen Helen Regional Park and Prado Regional Park can fill up weeks or months in advance. Use the San Bernardino County Regional Parks reservation system for local parks, ReserveCalifornia for state sites, and Recreation.gov for national parks and forests. Midweek stays tend to have more last-minute availability and a quieter atmosphere.
parks.sbcounty.gov/reservations/Is driving an RV in and around Colton easy?
Yes. Colton's flat terrain and wide roads make RV driving manageable, even for first-timers. Avoid rush hours on I-215 and I-10 for smoother travel, and watch for posted overpass clearances on truck routes. If city traffic feels intimidating, choose RV delivery in Colton and start your trip right at the campground. You are about 90 minutes from Big Bear's scenic mountain drives and roughly an hour and a half to the desert quiet of Joshua Tree.
dot.ca.gov/programs/traffic-operations/legal-truck-accessWhat equipment and hookups can I expect at local Colton campgrounds?
Most RV parks near Colton offer full hookups with water, sewer, and 30 or 50 amp electric, ideal for motorhomes and travel trailers. San Bernardino RV Park and Glen Helen Regional Park have on-site dump stations and potable water, and many parks add WiFi, picnic areas, and pools. Bring a sewer hose and water filter, or ask your host if these are included with the rental. Regional parks often have play areas and fishing lakes, a nice plus for family RV trips.
parks.sbcounty.gov/What features can I expect in Colton RV rentals?
Colton RV rentals range from compact campervans with comfortable beds and simple kitchens to large Class A motorhomes with full bathrooms, kitchens, TVs, and air conditioning. Many listings include outdoor grills, solar panels, or generator options, and seatbelts for all passengers are standard in motorhomes. If you need specific features like bunk beds, a pet-friendly rig, or a generator for a family RV trip, message the host before booking. RVezy filters make it easy to find the right fit.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Colton%2C%20CaliforniaAre there popular add-ons or extra fees with Colton RV rentals?
Many Colton hosts offer convenient add-ons like housekeeping kits, bike racks, camp chairs, or portable generators so your trip is fully tailored. Expect possible extra fees for mileage over the daily limit, generator hours, or returning the RV uncleaned. Pickup and drop-off times are arranged directly with your host. If you want unlimited mileage, apply the filter when searching to see eligible listings, and review each listing carefully so there are no surprises.
