The Complete Guide to Idyllwild Family Camping
Nestled at 5,400 feet in the San Jacinto Mountains, Idyllwild Campground offers the perfect introduction to mountain camping for families with young children. Unlike remote wilderness camping, this campground sits within the charming town of Idyllwild, providing the security of nearby amenities while delivering an authentic mountain experience.
Our recent family camping trip with our 3-year-old son proved that Idyllwild strikes the ideal balance between adventure and accessibility. The campground's proximity to restaurants, shops, and medical facilities provides peace of mind for parents, while the towering pines and starry nights create magical memories for children.
