Arroyo Campground

Super clean and well organized campground with clean bathrooms that has running water and shower Grounds are very well taken care of A little close to the public road so some sites can hear cars driving by but at least not a ton of traffic. Plenty of space per campsite and ground is flat for easy sleeping

We stayed 3 nights; Sunday - Wednesday. First night, the people at spot #13 were very loud: playing loud music well after 10 pm and talking/loudly laughing up until after midnight. Extremely rude considering everyone else was courteous of the quiet hours. The park rangers stopped and talked to them on Monday, they were quiet that night and left on Tuesday (thankfully). We didn't see any patrol on Sunday but there was a patrol that came through the next two nights. Most of the spots have plenty of shade. We were at 53 and it had a couple great shade trees plus plenty of space. Spot 54 is a little close but the person camping there was only in their car so it never felt like we were on top of each other. Not sure how comfortable it would have been with another family there. Included some pictures of this spot, along with some of the spots nearby after they emptied out. Spot 53 has a path directly across from it that goes to Bathroom #2. It's nice having it there so it doesn't feel like you are walking through Spot 14 which is a pull through. Each person that stayed in the pull through spot didn't seem to use their campfire/picnic spot on the other side but hung out by their trailer near the walkway which almost made it uncomfortable walking by them. The bathrooms are cleaned midday and even with a full campground the first night, it never got extremely bad. Mostly just toilet paper on the ground and a few items on the shelf behind the sinks because for some reason people can't pick up after themselves. The shower is free but you have to hold the button down for water; it lasts for a few seconds with each button press. The water gets hotter the longer you are in it. Great paths for biking, hiking, and horse back riding. We did some biking and saw several horse riders. We tried to visit the Nature Center but it's only open on the weekends. It has a great playground behind it. Firewood was $5 a bundle and the staff was very friendly. Especially the kid we talked to on Monday. No camp store but Trabuco General Store was a short bike ride away; our teens hit it for Dipping Dots each day. And we rode over to grab some charcoal because we didn't bring enough; it was $13.44 for the tiny bag. We had a great time and would definitely camp here again!

My 1st time camping here. Flush toilets, showers. Bathrooms were clean. Campground was beautiful! Rangers patrolled on a regular basis mainly keeping eyes on peoples fires. We were lucky to be able to have camp fires, which was appreciated because it was in the low 40’s at night. Wonderful little general store less than a mile from where we were. No water in the creek bed. I’ll definitely return with my grandkids!!

This is truly a top notch campground. The little creek added so much fun! Kids can build little enclosures for tadpoles for a whole day!😅 There are ample men and women's restrooms, which are always kept clean. And the free hot water showers! Will definitely come back again!

I had a great first experience here. Lots of trails nearby for all types of adventurers, the facilities were very clean, camping spots were large and well kept; was an overall great experience. So cool to have this place right outside of Irvine. Will definitely be back.
