Anyone have a review of Paradise Cove Campground at Lake Isabella, CA?

Ryan Corsa

Can't find any on the internet and we're trying to book a last minute camping spot.

Answer
PARADISE COVE CAMPGROUND
Located on south shore of Lake Isabella off Highway 178. Paved road; 58 family units and 80 RV sites; No limit on Trailer length; Restrooms-2 flush type, 1 with metered showers, and chemical toilets; Water; Fire rings, tables and grills; RV dump station, $8; Fish cleaning station. Open year round. Supplies at Mtn. Mesa. $20.00 per night. Sites 59-138, $14.00 per night, $5.00 for each additional vehicle, Dry and dusty but good in location very close to the boat launch, occasional bear issues so keep the food and poodle locked in at night. bring your own shade and a way to tie it down the afternoon winds kick up pretty good at times. Not my top choice because of the lack of shade and the primary wind direction makes it's beaches take the worst of it I prefer the west shore campgrounds or camping on the river above or below the lake. My top choice is Hobo south of the lake.

camping grounds in southern california by water?

Vahe

I want to go camping with like 10 people, I need a place by water that's swimmable(clean) like a clean lake or something and I'd prefer if they had restrooms, or just toilets, but it's cool if it doesn't, somewhere maybe by los angeles, not too close to nevada or mexico, any Ideas would be much appreciated, oh and a place where I wouldn't need a permit.
I did say southern california, lake Tahoe is way to far.

Answer
Well all your beaches are out, all of southern california's beaches unless they have a campground are closed to overnight camping. All of southern California's beach campgrounds are reservable anywhere from 7 months to a year in advance and were booked for the summer that long ago.

Your popular lake destinations like Big bear, Silver wood, Castaic, lake perris are under the same conditions booked 7 months ago. However they may have a week day spot.

Now you open up some opportunity by camping in dispersed area's where you won't need a permit accept to build a fire. However your group is on the big side. So you want water that is swim-able and toilets there is only one destination I can think of and it pushes your southern california request to the limit. For you I recommend the kern river north of lake isabella at one of the many dispersed campsites along the river they are free some sites have portable toilets fire rings and picnic tables. to get one go midweek Mon- thur they will be filled up by thursday night. Good luck!
