a little info:
CAMPGROUND NAME: Serrano

VISIT DATE: 06/16/2002

UPDATE DATE: 1/30/2008

STATE: California

REGION: Pacific Southwest

RANGER DISTRICT: Big Bear

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Big Bear Lake

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation

DIRECTIONS:
In Big Bear Lake, CA, at the intersection of Stanfield Cutoff and
Big Bear Blvd. (State Rt. 18 - on the east end of Big Bear Lake),
take Stanfield Cutoff 0.4 miles to a "T" intersection (State Rt.
38).  Turn left onto Rt. 38 and go 1.4 miles to campground sign.
Turn left at sign and go 0.1 miles to another campground sign.
Turn right at sign into campground.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,000 ft.

The campground, located within sight of and across the road from
Big Bear Lake, is composed of four loops - Summer Wind,
Snowberry, Evening Star, and Lake View.  The primary vegetation
in the campground is Ponderosa and Jeffery pine, and juniper.
The ground is sand/dirt with sagebrush on the roadsides.
Snowberry Loop has full hookups.  Except for some "handicap" camp
sites that have a water hookup, the remaining loops have no
hookups.  A few camp sites in the Lake View Loop do have a
marginal view of the lake.  Summer Wind Loop has the most variety
in topography while Evening Star has the most shade.  Privacy
ranges from minimal to fair.  The Alpine Pedal Path, a paved
walkway, just outside the campground, provides for a pleasant
morning and evening stroll; mountain bikes are also permitted.
The nearby Big Bear Discovery Center has a wealth of information;
the weekend interpretive programs are excellent and fun for the
whole family.  The campground is convenient to the towns of Big
Bear Lake and Big Bear City for exploring, shopping and a cook's
night out.  Across from the campground is the Lighthouse Trailer
Resort and Marina with limited groceries and boat rentals.  Considered
an "all reservation" campground, reservations can be made at the
campground's entrance if sites are available, as well as on-line.

you guys crack me up. If you re-read Wayne's post #22. you will see that he is throwing out another CG (Holloway's) for the wagon master to consider. I was commenting on how the other CG did not show pictures of their RV sites.
But thanks for the the INFO  :eyecrazy:
Now where is our wagon master  :confused:

I didnt mean to step on anyone's toes, I was just passing on some information. But you still need to reserve a site thru www.recreation.gov .

The lake loop is a great one for non hook up sites.  Most sites are very large....I have heard the fireworks are awesome..How fun!  I wish I could go, but my neighbors would disown me or at least kick me off the block.  We do a huge block party each year....

Oh well..Have fun!

I am planning a 4th of July rally at Serrano Campground (on the north shore) in Big Bear.  The campground has an RV loop with electrical hookups.  

I am told the 4th of July fireworks over the lake are very nice.  Also, the Big Bear Discover Center is down the street, and the town is near by - there should be a lot to do.

If you are interested please let me know  - arriving Thursday the 2nd and departing Sunday the 5th.
