Take a break from the hustle and bustle with a camping trip to dog-friendly Pine Tree RV Park in beautiful Big Bear Lake. The park sits on the quiet, undeveloped northeast corner of Big Bear Lake, where you’ll experience cozy campfires, restful nights under the stars, and magnificent sunrises in a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from your everyday routine.

The location is genuinely convenient for exploring the area with your dog. You’re just a short walk from the public boat launch and picnic area, plus the Alpine Pedal Path—a paved bike and walking path that’s perfect for a dog-friendly outing without technical trail challenges. The Woodlands Interpretive Trail and Discovery Center are also nearby if you want to mix in some learning with your walk.

What really makes this spot appealing is the access to hiking and mountain biking trails scattered throughout the surrounding national forest, all within walking distance from camp. Whether your dog prefers an easy stroll or you’re up for something more challenging, you’ve got options right there.

Despite being located on Big Bear’s quieter side, you’re not isolated. The park sits about 3 miles east of Big Bear Lake Village, so restaurants, shops, and ski resorts are all close enough to visit without a long drive. This balance—peaceful camping setting combined with reasonable access to amenities—is what makes it work well for a longer stay rather than just an overnight pit stop.

The drive there is straightforward: head east on North Shore Drive about 750 feet past Stanfield, then cross at the Stanfield cutoff. It’s the kind of location where you could realistically spend several days, rotating between quiet mornings at camp and afternoon adventures exploring the lake and forest trails with your dog.
