East Shore Recreational Vehicle Park

Would be a 5 if it weren’t for the skunks, ants and small planes.
Beautiful Park. Excellent views.
Lots of skunks! Had read reviews about a skunk problem, but didn’t believe it was a big deal. Saw 3 or 4 the first night here roaming around through the campsites. Three roaming around and under our camper 3^rd night here. Four another night. We were talking to another camper, and she counted 8 under someone else’s camper one night. They just go about their business digging for grub, and you steer clear. We pack it in when they start to show up around 7:30 every night. We have to close the windows occasionally due to the odor.
We are not the only one with ant problems. They started showing up the 2^nd day here. Seal up your food, get ant traps and sprinkle Borax around your jacks, tires, hoses and anything else that is on the ground that connects to the camper. We did that and then just sprinkled an entire circle around the camper, and it seems to be working. F170 is bad. We should have known when we saw marks from Borax around jacks from previous Campers on the lot. We noticed our neighbor inspecting his camper and asked him if he has ants. He said yes and was trying to see where they are coming in. We gave him the information on what to do. He left for a while, and the next morning, there was Borax around all of his jacks, tires, etc. We heard another lady complaining, so we gave her a can of our multiple cans of Raid.
Pool says it closes at dark, but it closes earlier. It is a good distance from F section.
There is a small aircraft airport very close to here. While it’s cool to see the planes, it isn’t cool when they are taking off at 7:45a.m. when you’d like to sleep in. They are loud. They are still in take-​off when they go over.
Maybe some of the other sections of the campground that are higher up don’t the have the same issues. I’d request section A or B.

This is a beautiful park, with nice wide spaces and good distance between each RV. All the roads and sites are paved and there is grass between each site. The staff is great, everything is well maintained, and the store prices are good. There are lots of birds and bunnies. It would be 5 stars except for the evening visitors… skunks. Obviously this is not the fault of the park, nor is it anything that they can change, but it is a concern if you bring dogs with you. If you don’t bring any pets than it really isn’t a big deal. If you ignore the skunk, he will ignore you. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return, Pepe LePew shall not win!

Wow where to begin. At first sight this park appears well maintained and clean, and it is on the surface. After going through the main gate I was told go direct to my site then to the office to check in. We rode our bikes there and were promptly told do not lock our bikes outside as they will be stolen, leave them in the trailer at night… uh ok. Taking our lives into our own hands we went on a bike ride. Again, nice park, nice rigs until we arrived at the hip hop concert down below where a camper had enough sound gear for a concert playing… No ranger to be found. In my stupidity i did not know this was a privately run park on public land… i guess noise and theftis a problem, the rangers can not be armed in this state so the county sheriffs are always here. My favorite experience was starting laundry at about 12.30 in the afternoon… As soon as i started two loads a ranger came in and told me laundry is closed for water conservation from 12 –6pm. Ok i get it, Idid not read the hours posted the doors were open my fault… my question is why do they water about 80 acres of grass every night then??? Liberal logic at its best… So i loaded up wet laundry and drove to another laundry. I guess if you live in a city this place is a paradise, for us not so much…

Beautiful property. We had a lake view at a great cost. Kids loved it … Wish benches where a bit closer to our RV but that’s ok. Lake was beautiful bathrooms where clean … Definitely will come back. I will say the people
Up front in the mini mart where amazing at registration not so much … But hey they are at work who likes to be at work lol.

There are a lot of long term campers here that have pretty much taken up residence here. The bathroom facilities are not well maintained and limited (2 showers and 1 toilet in the men’s). No paper towels, hand dryers, or toilet seat liners in the restrooms. Not all the sites have fire pits. Some spots have amazing lake views. While others are a row of 3 parking spaces.

so this is a tricky review. It was an all girls camping trip. we had a great time. we always have fun together. we bring the party.
the check in was bumpy. the young girl at the front desk was very confused. she struggled to check me in. sent me to my tent space 6 with a map that helped very little. and provided zero help with the directions and neglected to provide the required parking pass.
the skunks are a major problem. they are not scared of people and several times lingered relatively close to our group. at one point our site had 4 skunks
the resident’s and or RV users do not curb their dogs. down by the lake there is so much dog shit.
no dogs allowed in tent sites but several of our neighbors had dogs.
clientele very eclectic possibly sketchy. we had a group of American girls the troop near by. we had a couple with a blind cat on a leash. we had seveal drunk dudes. and a large group of Asian people with small children that loved to run thru our site squealing and screeching being kids. some Renaissance characters from a show. lots of colorful people.
it is very loud. the guests are up all night talking, setting up and breaking down, cooking, listening to music. planes flying over, trains and automobiles. even fireworks
was it fun? yes
would i come back yes
soon? doubtful
do to the skunks, the dog shit, the people working at the front desk
, the fact u cant swim in the lake! im gonna have to explore what else is available for tent camping

April 2016. We stayed for two weeks in our Airstream trailer. The park is large and adjacent to a wilderness park with a reservoir/​lake, lots of greenery and trees. Ducks and geese. Most sites are spacious. It was very quiet except for low flying private planes taking off from nearby airport, but not at night. The park appears to be well managed with pleasant rangers.
Downside: there are many permanent residents and many of the sites look like it… lots of
junk surrounding many RVs. We were forced to change sites after the first week even though the site we vacated was not occupied for several days after we moved. It was puzzling as
there were many vacant sites. I was told maximum stay in a site is two weeks.

Our Boy Scout Troop went camping at this park for a Pre-​Camporee weekend and my entire troop was impressed by the cleanliness of the sites. The grass were well-​groomed and one do not see trash as you can expect from public campgrounds. Also, the landscaping of the trees were very well spaced apart that you can feel the nature but not closed in by it. And its close proximity to our Home Base just makes this place a perfect get-​away with or without our troop.

Don’t let the appearance fool you!
Blatant prostitution, drug dealing, and even drunken street brawling taking place regularly in the monthly guest sections. I returned twice to find drunken fights at the Adult Pool spilling into the street. It was the prostitutes, their tricks, and their dealer friends. Park Rangers and Sheriffs are called regularly to intervene, but the perpetrators go unscathed and are back at it the next day.
Good residents complain constantly, but Park Management is utterly ineffective in dealing with any of this. The prostitutes, dealers and their friends (customers?) threaten and intimidate the residents who have complained about them, and still management does nothing. The reputation of this park is tanking.
And they will let ANYONE in the gate. [C’mon people… a rusted, lowered, ’89 Lincoln, with tinted windows and no hubcaps is not a classic… it’s a DRUG DEALER!] On a daily basis, you can watch the drug dealers, making their rounds dropping off to the residents (handoffs in full view on the street) who in turn sell amongst guests.
And if this isn’t enough to convince you to stay elsewhere, the park is overrun with skunks. I can’t count the nights the skunks cut loose near my RV making it nearly impossible to remain in the coach. Several nights I had to evacuate to the nearest Marriott just to get some sleep work.
There are many good things about the park, well maintained, scenic, great Rangers, and the office staff are super. But in light of the above, and management’s ineffectiveness to cope with it, the bad completely negates the good.

Awesome awesome! We have had an amazing stay here. It’s tucked away from the hustle of California but is still conveniently located right off of the freeway so it’s easy to go. The park is clean as well as the bathrooms. I think I’m the only one who has used them since our stay and I see them being cleaned everyday. Every person who works here is nice and accommodating. Not to mention the views of the lake are incredible! We seriously couldn’t have a better view, and no matter where you are the view will be great. The location is awesome. The only kind of bad part is the fact its right by an airport, not a busy one but it’s still somewhat noisy, so don’t expect to get perfect peace and quite. But it’s close. Whenever we come back we will definitely be back to East Shore RV Park!

Owners and management are extremely dishonest, be sure you you research your spot booked and more importantly don’t make any changes, cancel or try to switch dates even within the time they say is ok. If you have any issue what so ever that requires a refund they will short you and their manager will say it’s out of their hands, the owners did it and I have no control. What’s the point of a manager in this case? Anyhow the way this place is being managed has detoured me from going there anymore, good luck staying in business.

Love coming to this place! Very close to home so we can get away right after work. The price is really reasonable as well. Feels like your away from the crazy city yet if you need things it’s a too easy to get!

Ok, full disclosure I have not stayed here and I will not. I recommend that you don’t either. The reason: their cancelation policy is punitive. I was on my way to SoCal and had mechanical trouble which made it impossible to keep our reservation. I called 72 hour+ before arrival and they would not refund my deposit. They would not even offer a credit. I am a full time RVer and find their policy out of line.

This review is not based on the site itself but on the customer service of their entrance guard
I visited the campground on Wednesday June 17, 2015 at approximately 2:30pm. I was interested in viewing the tent campground area to see if it would accommodate our needs. The gentlemen working the front entrance was not knowledgeable of the services East Shore offer. I asked him if East shore offered tent camping and he said «No, only RV» and he asked me to turn my vehicle around and try another entrance. So I did as he suggested, drove down to the nearest entrance (Bonneli Park Gate) and inquired about tent camping the ranger informed I was at the wrong entrance and to go back from where I came from (East Shore) and speak with the guard I just spoke with. So I drove back to the East Shore entrance and as I was making my way back I noticed the sign on the road said «East Shore Campground», I told the guard at the front gate again that this is where I am being referred to for tent campground and there’s a sign down the road indicating this is the tent campground entrance, he insisted I was at the wrong location and gave me a pamphlet to call the number on the pamphlet for reservations, after a few times of going back and forth with him, he finally agreed to tell me I was at the correct location. I don’t understand why he was not able to tell me from the very beginning that I was at the right location for tent camping, he neglected to help me and made me turn my vehicle around, waste my time and gas to drive over to another entrance. It was a very frustrating experience, the gentlemen is not well trained on what the campground has to offer and poor customer service, he neglected to provide me with accurate information and help me. It was very frustrating experience.

Clean and peaceful place for a quick camping trip with the family. This is our second trip here and I’m sure we will be back. The people and staff are very friendly here. Plenty of space between campsites to have some privacy but close enough to be with friends. One suggestion is to make reservations early to get the most scenic views of the near by lake.

We bought a trailer and East Shore RV Park was our first glamping experience. We brought our dogs and stayed three nights. It was a wonderful experience. We me some nice folks from Texas who gave us advice on the trailer life. We made our way to the nearby lake and our dogs just loved running around.
I loved the space we had. It was a pull through, which meant I didn’t have to stress out backing the trailer into a spot. Each spot was divide by spacious grass. We had to pay extra for our dogs. Not sure why. Overall, a good experience.

Awesome — Awesome — Awesome.
We love coming here!!! It’s clean and safe and there’s lots and lots to do to keep our kiddos busy and having fun — — beaches, parks, play equipment, tent camping, clean bathrooms and showers, fire pits, lakeside fishing… it’s wonderful.
WiFi is only available in the store (which stocks just about everything you may want BTW) which means you are truly unplugged when you are here — which means you can relax even more than you ever thought possible — lol.
Prices are reasonable and worth every.single.penny!
Overall: we are totally coming back!

we stayed at wilderness six. Tent camping. The tent site was dirty, and sloped. Not all sites had sloped sites but many were. As far as wilderness we looked out over the RV park and were visited by skunks and raccoons and kids on BMX bikes. Bathrooms were surprising clean. The Pomona fairgrounds and airport kept things exciting with interesting small planes overhead, but also kept it noisy. The lake is for fishing there so to get to the swim section is a long hot walk or a drive. Good place for jogs, but once the sun is out and doing its thing the area gets unpleasant. When the sun goes down the RV noise rise to the tent sites.
Wilderness camping not really. I do not recommend this place for tent folk.

Useful Tips
If staying at East Shore RV Park
1. Laundromat hours 9am-​10 pm, takes quarters.
2. If you need change, go to Market across the street, withdraw cash from ATM machine ($ 2.50 surcharge fee) and cashier at market will give you change.
3. Check for empty washers before unloading. The lids should be up to indicate a vacant washer but we found them all down thinking all we’re being used.
4. Pizza delivery– Red devil pizza in La Verne 909−599−8355. They know their way around.
5. Mail slot against the wall of market is outside, facing laundromat.
6. Fax service– Market staff will do it for you for $.70 a page and give you a confirmation sheet.

I would have given it 5 stars… but some of the women who work at the front desk are seriously rude and seem really annoyed when you ask a question.
Aside from that, this is an AMAZING place to camp! We were in section B and the picture I posted was taken from right behind our motorhome. Yup. That was our view for 4 days. Loved it so much. All soft grass you can’t help but walk barefoot on, HUGE spots (ours was 75 ft), pool, playground, fishing beach. I can go on and on.
There is also a market on the property that had prices that were shockingly low. Yes, low! There were items that were cheaper then Camping World.
I really want to give this place 5 stars. Why did those women have to be so darned rude?!?
