RV camping near Hemet

·

Surrounded by the San Jacinto Mountains, the area around Hemet invites RV camping enthusiasts to embark on unforgettable outdoor adventures. It's impossible to touch on Hemet without mentioning its namesake Hemet Lake, an incredibly popular spot for water fun and RV camping. Diamond Valley Lake and Lake Perris are additional options for swimming and laying out, but RV campers looking for desert landscapes have their options too. Mount San Jacinto State Park is a major highlight, accommodating campervans and travel trailers up to 24 feet in length at RV campsites offering full hookups, flush toilets, picnic tables, and hot showers. Hike to the peak of the 10,000-foot mountain for expansive views of San Gorgonio Pass and neighboring Palm Springs. And if you can't snag a site in the state park, private campsites and RV parks nearby typically have more availability, greater privacy, and amenities like slide-outs, barbecue grills, and speedy wifi connections. The rocky outcrops and desert plant life of Joshua Tree National Park, just on the other side of Mount San Jacinto, encourage even more RV exploration. But with average daytime highs in the mid-90s and above during summer months, RV camping near Hemet may be more comfortable during off-seasons like winter, when temperatures stay in the 60s.

State park 23mi from Hemet · 173 sites
At 10,833 feet in elevation, this is the second highest peak in California. There are two ways to get to the summit. You can hike the whole thing or shave off about 6000 vertical feet by riding the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Either way, the summit is not to be missed. For a real challenge try the epic Cactus to Clouds trail. It was rated as one of the hardest day hikes in the world by Backpacking Magazine. Its 21 miles take you skyward through sub-alpine forests, mountain meadows, snow-dusted crags, and gnarled granite. An alpine start is required to avoid the midday heat so be prepared and take plenty of water. Campers have plenty to choose from. The San Jacinto area offers two drive-in campsites, four hike-in primitive campsites, and adventures for every brand of wilderness craving. If you want to backpack to the summit over a day or two try the Deer Springs Trail. This park has adventures for every brand of wilderness craving.

It's so nice to "meet you" my name is Taryn and my hubby's name is Anson. We are parents to two-year-old twins, so saying we have our hands full is an understatement. Anson is a folk and blues musician and has traveled all around the U.S. playing his music and I work for a children's book company. One day, we decided that we wanted to live the rest of our lives hosting live music, and events and that's how Rock & Tree began. As the idea grew, we wanted to create an Open Canvas so that the guest could dream up what they wanted on our stage. We moved to the Inland Empire from Santa Monica, in 2017 with the dream of building an open canvas event space out of sustainable, re purposed and natural materials. Our mission is help enrich the culture of Perris, CA by providing a unique venue that takes you away from the hustle and bustle and takes you to a wonderland of nature surrounded by rocks and eucalyptus trees. Anson and I continue to build everything ourselves with the help of our friends and family every now and again. Our process is that we source as much lumber using the dead Eucalyptus trees we have here on the 36 acre property and we are constantly trying to come up with innovative ways to use recycled and donated materials in the venue. During the pandemic, we turned our venue into a campground so we could open up the venue to people who needed to get out into nature. We are now open for daily camping and private events. You can follow our journey on our Instagram.

It gets very cold at night but the star filled skies are breathtaking. This time during our stay we had 3 kitty visitors and 3 dogs that rolled up to our camp multiple times, it felt like they were checking up on us. It was so cute. The sweet Aussie poked his head in our tent to say "you good?" haha It was so cute and they were extremely friendly and social! The black kitten stayed at our camp all night and cuddled on our laps by the fire. It was such a lovely experience. TJ and her crew have done an amazing job with this place, I don't have enough words to explain. Just see for yourself! You'll love it!! Can't wait to visit again!"
