Let's try another new campground in June, 2025!

“Situated in the San Jacinto Mountains, Lake Hemet Reservoir was created in 1895 with the construction of the **Lake Hemet Dam** and is owned and operated by the[ Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (LHMWD)](https://www.lhmwd.org/). Lake Hemet Recreation Company is an authorized concessionaire of [LHMWD](https://www.lhmwd.org/). Camping and fishing is the primary attraction to the lake, which is stocked with rainbow trout, bluegill and largemouth bass. Other Lake Hemet activities include boating, picnicking, hiking, and camping. Lake Hemet is a short drive (8 miles) from the destination mountain town of [Idyllwild](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g32519-Idyllwild_California-Vacations.html). The recent additions of the Soaring Pines Cafe and Splashing Eagle Swim Zone have made Lake Hemet the vacation spot to be during the spring and summer months.”

The Swim Zone allows swimming in the lake. There is also a marina that rents boats (pedal boats, kayaks, motorboats and pontoon boats).
