Serrano Comments & Reviews
Visted Serrano Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Serrano?
Serrano is separated and named into different sections. Do any of these campsites have a lake view because there’s a section called Lakeview and that can be deceiving if none of them actually have a lake view.
Hi Desirre,
If you click on the Campground Map you’ll see that the sites in the Lake View Loop are closer to the lake and some do have views of the water. Campsites 109 to 122 are your best bet for water views.
How far is the lake from campsite 117?
Serrano campsite #17 is about 1/4 mile from the lake/water (across North Shore Lane).
do you need an RV to be in snowberry ??//
Hi America,
You don’t have to have an RV in the Snowberry loop/campsites at Serrano campground.
I have reservations for this weekend. (3/16 to 3/18) Are the sites cleared of snow in the Lakeview loop?
Hi Barbara,
Big Bear did just receive 12-18 inches of snow the other day. I’d recommend calling Serrano Campground directly to see if they’ve clear the campsites of snow. The phone number is: 909 866-8021
Can you visit Camp Serrano just did the day. Thinking of drive up there to have a picnic with my husband
Hi Beatrice,
Parking in Serrano campground is only for registered/paid campers. You can park in areas close to the campground and walk through it.
