Rancho Jurupa Park in the United States

We have stayed here several times and enjoy it everytime. The sites are HUGE in the cottonwood camp area. Super clean and lots of grass (sorta brown with water restrictions etc). There is mini golf, splash pad, rock climb area, 2 playgrounds, bike paths, 2 fishing ponds, and a nature center. Bathrooms were clean and facilty is patrolled by security and RivCo Sheriffs. Dont let the town of Jurupa scare you off. The park is super nice

We came here as a stop-over between Joshua Tree and the beach. The other review mentioned Cottonwood Campground, but I didn't pay attention and opted for the slightly cheaper Lakeview Campground. The site was dirt, and all the grass was dead. I couldn't let me kids run around outside because of all the stickers in the dead grass. The nearby parks were nice. This part of Riverside isn't too spectacular, but it's a quick drive across the bridge into downtown Riverside. If you decide to stay here, pay the little extra for Cottonwood. The spaces are wider, asphalt, and the grass isn't all dead.

We needed a place to stay in Riverside that would be close enough to Benedict Castle that we would not have a long commute. This park is only 10 minutes and an easy drive to downtown Riverside. I attempted to book online but same day check in is first fine first serve. However the staff stated they had a couple openings to accommodate us. When we arrived we were shocked to see such a nice park with lots of amenities. Our site had 50 amp service with full hookups. We walked all around the park (200 acres) and checked out the other sites. The new section is full hookup and all concrete and pavement. They have a water feature at this park for kids and it was a hit. They have a disc golf course that seemed to have some action on it as well. We saw plenty of people fishing around the lake but not many were catching. We did not need to use the bathrooms and did not check them out. When the camp ground fills up you tend to hear a lot of neighbor noise. We would stay here again for sure.

We stayed here one night while traveling through Southern California. The campground is divided into two sections. The older section (which I walked through) has gravel roads and gravel pads, and most of the sites have only water and electric connections. We stayed in the newer section, which has wide paved roads and is populated with full hookup pull-through and back-in sites. All of the sites have level concrete pads with a small concrete patio section, a picnic table, and a fire pit. The spacing between sites is excellent, and the sites are clustered in a way that leaves gaps in the row: if you’re on the end of a cluster like we were in site 206, one of your neighbors may be as far as 50 yards away. All of the sites are surrounded by grass (which are watered by sprinklers) and some have trees that provide a little shade. Each campground section has a bathhouse with bathrooms and showers. The bathhouse in the newer section also has laundry facilities: we didn’t use the laundry or showers, but the private bathrooms (accessible via a key code) were nice and clean. There are two dumpster areas on either end of the newer section. The other park amenities are shared with the day-use area: there are least two playgrounds, a large pond, a disc golf and mini-golf course, and a water park. There is a camp store near the park entrance that sells firewood; I don’t know what else they offer. There is no off-leash dog park, but there were plenty of places to leash walk our dogs, and plenty of ducks, ground squirrels, and rabbits to entertain them. We were here on a Sunday night and the campground was half-empty, so it made for a quiet evening. In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna during our stay was about 32Mbps down and 7Mbps up. We had no trouble streaming video the one evening we were there. The one speed test I did with my AT&T phone showed 20Mbps down and 2 up. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

We stayed 2 nights in site 244. We only had one neighbor on the right next to us, the other site on the left was about 25-30 yards away. We faced the open meadow area that leads to the riverbed (no access to it). The pad was concrete, was fairly level and had dirt between sites. Some sites have grass between each site. Our neighbors were quiet and respectful. Although when we walked around the campground, we saw plenty of spots that were crowded and playing loud music during the day. Once quiet time began at 10, we didn’t hear any sounds except a pack of coyotes on the first night who seemed to be having a party. The store has a few limited items. There’s a tired mini golf course that is in desperate need of refurbishing but if you have your own putters and balls, it’s free. Otherwise it’ll cost you $5 to play. There is also a frisbee golf course and fishing ponds. The views of Mt. Rubidoux and open fields with the mountains far behind are beautiful. We were last here about 18 years ago and they’ve definitely made some improvements. We would come back here again.
