We had a great RV trip through California, and the RV was perfect for our family of five. It was comfortable, easy to drive, and had no issues at all—we really enjoyed traveling in it. Our family will remember this trip forever! Lydia was a wonderful host: very responsive, communicative, and accommodating when we needed to adjust our schedule. The airport service was also very helpful, and she was friendly and easy to work with. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience. We’d happily rent again and would definitely recommend.

Jack was the best. He made it so easy, was extremely thorough, communicative and helpful, and was as accommodating as he could be. When our group hadn't booked a campsite yet, Jack even sent along links to sites with openings still that he had been to befor. Above and beyond.

When is the best time for RV camping in Big Bear, CA?

Winter (December to February) is a snow-play season with highs in the 40s and 50s and freezing nights, ideal for skiing at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Spring brings quieter trails. Book early for holiday weekends.

How much should I budget for fuel on my Big Bear RV trip?

Most motorhome rentals average 8 to 12 mpg, and California gas prices are typically among the highest in the country, often running higher in the mountains. Fill up before the climb up Highway 18 or 330 for better prices, and budget an extra $100 to $200 for a family RV trip exploring the lake and nearby parks.

How far ahead should I book campgrounds in Big Bear?

Book early for Big Bear, especially for waterfront sites at Serrano Campground or popular spots at Pine Knot. Summer weekends, holidays, and ski season can fill up six months in advance. Reserve national forest sites through Recreation.gov, and check directly with private campgrounds for their booking windows. Some campgrounds offer first-come, first-served sites for last-minute travelers who arrive early in the day.

Are the roads to Big Bear safe for RVs? What should I watch for?

The main highways to Big Bear (Highway 18 and Highway 330) are paved and generally open year-round, with winding mountain grades and scenic views along the Rim of the World Scenic Byway. In winter, chain controls can be in effect, so check Caltrans road conditions before heading up, especially after recent snow. For lighter traffic and better visibility, arrive midweek or before noon, and choose an RV size you are comfortable driving on mountain roads.
