Camping in Big Bear

Big Bear Lake - The adventure kicks off as we arrive at the campsite! After brief introductions and orientation, all guests receive camping gear, tents, and sleeping bags. Everyone gets to choose their spot at our private 29-acre campsite! Guests will learn how to select the perfect spot and set up their tent. Afterwards, everyone is free to explore the grounds while your guides prepare a delicious lunch.

Big Bear Region - Lunch is served around noon, family-style, allowing everyone to pick whatever they like. We can accommodate a variety of diets and tastes, and we also serve drinks and snacks. The group enjoys lunch for about an hour.

Big Bear Region - The real fun begins after lunch! The entire group can explore the wild lands of San Bernardino forest and surrounding mountains. Those who want can participate in our “Treasure Trek” scavenger hunt. All participating guests will receive a map and a list of tasks to complete. These tasks range from finding a specific plant to acting out a scene or taking a photo of a unique feature at the campsite. The fastest team or guest wins bragging rights for the rest of the night! This is a perfect opportunity to explore this beautiful site! There are stunning views from smaller peaks around, hikes, and various games throughout (cornhole, horseshoes, Jenga, UNO, dominoes, and more). You can go for a quick hike, venture to a small creek, or relax in a hammock.

Big Bear Region - Join us for a 30-minute “Know Your Habitat” session, where our guides will discuss the local flora and fauna. We’ll explore different types of plants growing around the sites and learn about various animals. We will also help you get familiar with different types of camping and camping equipment. This is the time for guests to ask any questions they may have. This session is designed to educate while keeping things comfortable and fun.

Big Bear Region - As the sun begins to set, our guides will prepare the campfire and set everything up for the night. This is also the time when dinner will be served. We always make dinners that cater to a variety of tastes and diets. We’ll enjoy the dinner in a family setting.

Big Bear Lake - As the evening settles upon the campsite, guests can enjoy s’mores at the campfire, stargaze, or just have a drink and relax while bonding with others. Around the campfire, worries seem to melt away as bonds strengthen, and a sense of connection to nature and each other deepens under the starlit sky.

And just like that, day 1 comes to an end.
