The Great Outdoors

Visiting San Bernardino National Forest is one of the highlights of a vacation with an RV rental in Highland. The rugged forest encompasses an area of over 151,000 acres, including the Big Bear Lake Recreational Area, Arrowhead Lake Recreational Areas, and the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area. Despite its predominantly dense green vegetation, the national forest is also home to areas of dry desert scrub and bolder-filled canyons. The area provides refuge to migratory birds, rare plant species, and even endangered wildlife. If you rent an RV in Highland and drive to the Barton Flats in Mount Gorgonio Recreational Area then you’ll have the opportunity to spot many of these native creatures. Yellow warblers, rainbow trout, and deer are typically spotted by the Santa Ana River while Lawrence’s goldfinches and hooded orioles often perch in Thurman Flats Picnic Area.

While you’re looking for scrub jays in the San Gorgonio Recreational Area you might want to take a hike into the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area. The 56,000-acre is also home to bighorn sheep and bears and makes up part of the Sand and Snow National Monument. There are several hiking trails threaded through this protected area and a handful of primitive campsites for adventurous backpackers. For the best views of the San Bernardino Mountain Range, hikers can embark on a strenuous climb to the summit of San Gorgonio, known as the highest peak in Southern California. The Fish Creek Trail, Vivian Trail, and South Fork Trail are some of the most popular routes to the summit.

Big Bear Lake, northeast of Highland, is another enticing branch of San Bernardino National Forest. This alpine lake is a popular skiing destination during the winter months but the surrounding forest also offers spectacular hiking and biking opportunities which range from moderate to challenging. Those ready for a multi-day trek might like to hike a section of the 2,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail or hop onto the Cougar Crest Trail. For something less strenuous, cyclists of all ages can take to the paved Alpine Pedal Path and enjoy a scenic 3.2-mile ride around the lake.

From Big Bear Lake, adventurers can drive a Highland RV rental west to Lake Arrowhead. This recreational area is an excellent spot for cross-country skiing, it hosts a number of trails including the 10-mile ‘Snow Slide’ from Green Valley Campground to Big Bear Lake. The Little Green Valley Trail, 4.6 miles, is another tough trail which is popular with both skiers and mountain bikers, depending on the season. The route begins at Highway 18 and climbs to a forestry meadow with views to Slide Peak and Snow Valley on the way. Lake Arrowhead is also a tranquil place for a family picnic and a summertime swim.

RV Parks

After you’ve watched the sunset from a mountain summit, you’ll need to find a place to park your luxury RV rental near Highland. Mission RV Park is a campground with on-site Wi-Fi. The park is pet-friendly and located on Interstate-10, just a short drive from the San Bernardino National Forest and close to supermarkets and city attractions. Another centrally located RV park is the San Bernardino RV Park which is only a few blocks away from San Bernardino city center and San Bernardino International Airport. The campground provides 30/50-amp full hookups, Wi-Fi, and restroom and laundry facilities.

If you prefer to take your Highland RV rental by owner farther from the city then you can check out the developed campsites in the San Bernardino National Forest. Dogwood Campground and Northshore Campground are located in the Lake Arrowhead Recreation Area, both offer a safe and tranquil retreat for you and your Highland motorhome rental. The sites are open from May to October each year. Although these campgrounds are basic, they do provide access to modern restrooms and showers as well as potable water and garbage disposal.

Outside you can see the monuments to the 63rd/445th Norton Veteran Group.
