Lake Elsinore Campground |
|
Lake Elsinore is the largest natural freshwater lake in Southern California and is set against the Ortega Mountains. The campground offers an outdoor recreation experience to both RVs and tent campers. The campground is located on the lake; boat launching is available at Seaport Launch and water recreation along Lakeshore Drive (just 2 miles from the campground). A fence has been placed across the length of the campground, because of lake flooding in the past few years. However, Lakeshore Drive is a short drive from the campground which is a great alternative for a pleasant swimming beach and convenient fishing area for your recreational needs.
The campground is situated amongst walnut, pine and deciduous trees; providing ample shade for our campers on hot summer days. Get a glimpse of selected campsites by following the link (on the right) to the “Camp Site Map”.
