From Temescal Valley you can head to Lake Elsinore for shoreline walks, boating access, and ample day parking near the marina that make launching small craft easy after unhitching. A scenic run along State Route 74, known as Ortega Highway, offers winding canyon views and convenient pullouts for photos, with campgrounds and picnic areas accessible off the route. Cleveland National Forest is also within easy reach from Temescal Valley and provides trailheads and dispersed camping areas suited to towable rigs that can park nearby. Interstate 15 connects these destinations efficiently, so you can plan short drives and return to your campsite the same day.
