Rancho Jurupa Park — Attraction in Jurupa Valley

I am going to start this by saying we spent 7 days camping by the lake, we got to see the good and the bad of this park. I wish I could give another star but I have to give an overall score for the week.||We stayed in a campsite by the lake, this campground is all dirt and is very dusty. The grass was already dead and brown. The actual camp sites are dirt and gravel. It is a very short walk to the lake to go fishing however. The power, water and sewer at our site worked fine. We arrived on a Tuesday and although the campground was almost full it was quiet, the campground was pleasant until the weekend when it got noisy and lots of cars speeding up and down the dirt roads and blaring music. We had a large group of cars from the day use area on Sunday that roared into camp and parked in a camp site with about 20-30 people running around, I was very uncomfortable, A ranger finally told them to go back to the day use area so they moved most of the cars, the ranger left and was not seen again the rest of the day even though they brought the cars back in 15 minutes doing donuts in the dirt and blasting music. This was not a holiday weekend and there was not any control of the rowdy people. This was not the only out of control group that showed up. This is a scary place on the weekends. The rangers spend all day at the store and water park area.||The park has another camp ground that has paved roads and the sites are all paved and have green grass between the concrete parking pads. The restroom area was a lot bigger and nicer looking also. This camp ground is further from the lake so was quieter. If I was to stay here again I would go for the upper campground and walk further to the lake. The showers in the lower campground are primitive, a bench on one wall and the showers on the other side without anywhere to put any soap or towel, you must go to the store to buy tokens to make the showers work in either location.||The park has a very active day use area with a nice water park, miniature golf course and a Frisbee course, these areas were always crowded during the day. You need to come early and put up a pop-up to claim a spot to sit in this area. The store has the very essentials if you forgot to pack something or ran out of something. There is a supermarket about 2 miles from the park for other items. The park has two lakes that are stocked with fish. I fished almost every day and only caught a bunch of 3 to 6” fish. I saw two anglers catch some keeper fish all week even though they stocked on the Friday before we arrived. The little kids really liked catching the 3” Bluegill’s. There is a huge grass park area at the very back of the park that I did not see anyone use at all when we were there.||For a park with camping in the middle of a city this is a great surprise but I would only go back during the week or in the winter time. This park need some serious rangers on duty on the weekends in the summer as they did not/could not control the rowdy weekend gangs that show up and terrorize the place.||Be aware if you are camping that in the evening skunks come out and roam the camp ground then after dark larger critters come out. For the most part, they are searching for food and did not bother us but than we sat still when they came under the table we were sitting at and around snooped around our camp. So be advised, you are camping in the wild at night.||I was really hoping to give this park a nice high rating, and it started out deserving a good rating. By the weekend the park did not live up to our hopes and we actually ended up leaving a day early by the end of the week stay.||The park has 6 small cabins you can rent but most of the park is for camping in...

We stayed here one night while traveling through Southern California. The campground is divided into two sections. The older section (which I walked through) has gravel roads and gravel pads, and most of the sites have only water and electric connections. We stayed in the newer section, which has wide paved roads and is populated with full hookup pull-through and back-in sites. All of the sites have level concrete pads with a small concrete patio section, a picnic table, and a fire pit. The spacing between sites is excellent, and the sites are clustered in a way that leaves gaps in the row: if you’re on the end of a cluster like we were in site 206, one of your neighbors may be as far as 50 yards away. All of the sites are surrounded by grass (which are watered by sprinklers) and some have trees that provide a little shade.

Each campground section has a bathhouse with bathrooms and showers. The bathhouse in the newer section also has laundry facilities: we didn’t use the laundry or showers, but the private bathrooms (accessible via a key code) were nice and clean. There are two dumpster areas on either end of the newer section. The other park amenities are shared with the day-use area: there are least two playgrounds, a large pond, a disc golf and mini-golf course, and a water park. There is a camp store near the park entrance that sells firewood; I don’t know what else they offer.

There is no off-leash dog park, but there were plenty of places to leash walk our dogs, and plenty of ducks, ground squirrels, and rabbits to entertain them. We were here on a Sunday night and the campground was half-empty, so it made for a quiet evening.

In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna during our stay was about 32Mbps down and 7Mbps up. We had no trouble streaming video the one evening we were there. The one speed test I did with my AT&T phone showed 20Mbps down and 2 up.

We would definitely stay here again if we were...
