Currently closed and gated off, supposedly for renovations but I couldn't get any information on when they will reopen. No one was actually there working and every phone number I tried to call was no longer in service. (Editor's Note: Big Bear Recreation Facility will re-open on April 1st, 2024. Online reservations will be accepted starting February 1st, 2024.)

Had a great time with the boys(8 and 10)! Didn't mind the price of the cabin since we were on the edge of the national forest and could walk out the door into the woods and explore! Snowed while we were there. The staff had the ground plowed first thing and they had tons of sleds for us to use. Someone was always in the office during staff hours and helped with whatever they could! I guess it beats TDY to some places in the world! We were off season so the town was not too crowded or busy. We had a great time and will return. Yes the cabins are a tad dated, but the shower was hot, the heater worked, the fireplace was nice and we had a great time!

Very disappointed! Location is the best but cost increases have exceeded value. Dramatic increase of prices ($159/$119)in early 2015 has caused a cost exceedance over value for these cabins. Located inside Big Bear, the cabins are overpriced for the area, the amenities are lacking for the cost and the cabins are in desparate need of updating. Cleanliness is also issue as our cabin had bird feces running down the back door. Services have dropped (no trash or linen service) and are not consistent with current 4-5 star accomodation pricing. Office is routinely closed during operating hours to accomodate personnel to PT. These cabins are simply no longer worth the cost - recommend leadership remove current management and re-evaluate pricing and/or renovate facilities. These cabins have awesome potential that is being ignored by management and are simply just no longer worth the price. My family will be going out in town next time.

We were in Big Bear visiting friends and "thought" we had a place to spend the night. Well, that didn't work out. Since I was going to visit the USMC Big Bear Recreation Facility anyway, I decided to see if they had a cabin available for the night. They did and it was less expensive than a hotel room ($100 for Sunday night). The location has much going for it, especially for getting away for some recreation. TONS of recreation activities available. The office staff were very friendly and helpful. Since I didn't have a reservation when I arrived, they called the reservation number for me to make a reservation for that night and pay over the phone. Then I checked in and we got a real nice cabin. The cabin was well equipped and would sleep 6 people. The cabin was in pretty good condition and was clean. The RV sites are small, but adequate for a small trailer or pop-up. We didn't have the combination to the restrooms near the camp sites, so I didn't check on them. Overall, we liked this place.
