Lighthouse Trailer Resort & Marina

Where Big Bear Lake's north shore meets forested hillsides, Lighthouse Trailer Resort & Marina operates as a family-owned RV park with full hookups and lake access. The resort sits in Fawnskin, offering both short-term and long-term sites among mature trees that provide shade cover.

The property accommodates RVs with electric, water, and sewer connections, though reviewers note it may not suit big rigs well. Sites feature gravel pads, concrete sections, and picnic tables, with some positioned to overlook the lake. Long-term residents create a community atmosphere alongside visiting families and their pets. "Big spot, shade of trees, walk down to lake," describes Ashley M. about the site layout and lake proximity.

Campers can access hiking and biking trails directly from the front gate, while bike and kayak rentals are available on-site. The lakefront area allows water access, though swimming conditions receive mixed reviews. A fish cleaning station and tool shop add practical amenities for anglers and DIY campers. The resort stays open May through October, with rates ranging from $55-90 per night.

Check-in proves straightforward with friendly staff, and the location provides easy access to campgrounds around Big Bear Lake for those exploring the area's camping options.

Visitors repeatedly highlighted the family-friendly atmosphere, quiet environment, and helpful staff at this cozy lakefront property. Several guests observed well-maintained sites with concrete pads and convenient bike trail access.

Good stay

Little family owned RV spot— some long termers. Everyone super nice. Big spot, shade of trees, walk down to lake. Full hookup. 7 minutes to big bear lake town. Hiking trails out front gate. Probably not big rig friendly.

Cozy & Quirky (In the best way)

This was a cozy little place. Many long stay residents and seemingly some part time houses which honestly makes it reliably quiet and peaceful. Very friendly hosting staff. Quirky because it feels like you’re staying at someone’s cabin. There’s an outdoor tool shop at the front, a little fish cleaning cabin that make you feel at home. And there’s cozy touches like bird feeders flower baskets at some sites. The only thing I didn’t like was that the lakefront wasn’t the nicest spot to swim or even wade. You could rent paddle boards and kayaks and while the prices were competitive with other shops we didn’t feel like spending $100 for a couple hours of entertainment for 2. Very close to walking and biking trails.

Initial looks can be deceiving

Came across this property while on the hunt for a getaway from the Vegas heat. The property on the outside looks like it might be cluttered, busy, and even poorly maintained, but wait...there's more!

Check in with Max was super easy and friendly. He put us in spot 62. And man, what a spot. A gravel spot with a concrete pad and picnic table, with a view to die for!

The site and grounds are full of families if all ages and their 4-legged friends.

Highly recommended spot!
