North Shore Campground San Bernardino National Forest California
North Shore Overview
North Shore campground has 26 campsites and is located about 3 miles from Lake Arrowhead Village in the San Bernardino National Forest. One group campsite is also available (#27). Â Lake Arrowhead is actually about a 3/4 mile drive from the campground. Lake Gregory is also 20 minutes away.
Campsites are set in a mixed conifer forest and most involved a short walking from the parking spur to the campsite. Sites are best suited for tent camping but a few can fit a small RV (sites 17, 20, 26 and 27). Sire #27 is a small group site that can accommodate up to 4 vehicles and 16 people. Most of the other sites allow 1 vehicle and 8 people. Each campsite also has a table, food storage locker, fire ring and grate.
The campground is generally open mid April to mid October. Amenities include potable (drinking) water, flush toilets and trash collection. Firewood is also available for sale from the camp host. As an added bonus, the Lake Arrowhead Hospital is about 1/2 mile away if you get a boo boo while camping. Cell service is good in the area.

Stayed at site 10 for three nights. Site is large with plenty of shade on one side and sun on the other. Bathrooms and water close by. Would definitely book this site again.

I want reserve a site or more for a scout troop camp out in November. How many tents to a site, how many group sites are available and what is the weather like in November? Thank you
Hi Suzette, North Shore Campground (Lake Arrowhead) is usually open mid April to mid October. It is closed in November. There is one small-group site (#27) that can accommodate tents – up to 4 vehicles and 16 people. You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability/reserve.
Hi I am inquiring if there is fishing and boating in the lake to campers? I will be bringing an RV for Oct 9-11 but wanted to know before booking!
Hi Yolanda,
Lake Arrowhead only has private access for boating, fishing, etc. North Shore campers can not access the lake. Your best option is Lake Gregory (near Crestline). It allows public access (including for campers) for boating, fishing and other activities. Big Bear Lake is another option (where you can fish, boat, swim), but it’s about 27 miles away.
