Holloway's Marina & RV Park is a private lakefront RV park on Big Bear Lake in California's San Bernardino Mountains, the region Southern Californians escape to when the deserts and lowlands bake in summer. At roughly 6,700 feet the air is cool and the setting is pine forest and lake, and Holloway's is the park we point to when an RVer says the water is the whole point of the trip: there are around 115 full-hookup sites and an on-site marina renting boats, kayaks and paddleboards, so you can be afloat within minutes of setting the jacks.

Holloway's Marina & RV Park is a private lakefront RV park on Big Bear Lake in California's San Bernardino Mountains, the region Southern Californians escape to when the deserts and lowlands bake in summer. At roughly 6,700 feet the air is cool and the setting is pine forest and lake, and Holloway's is the park we point to when an RVer says the water is the whole point of the trip: there are around 115 full-hookup sites and an on-site marina renting boats, kayaks and paddleboards, so you can be afloat within minutes of setting the jacks.
Practically, this is one of the few Big Bear parks with full hookups, and the site inventory includes plenty of big-rig pads, though lengths vary and you should confirm your site when you book directly with the park. Rates on file run about $60 to $100-plus a night and swing with the season, so treat that as a planning number and check the current rate sheet. The mountain season is roughly May through October. The trade-off is that you are paying private lakefront prices in a resort town; if you would rather save money in a Forest Service campground, Serrano is the alternative up the road.
