This place was so beautiful. The fresh air and trail are amazing. The fish shop has a little bit of everything including a nice smelling grill. They have a pretty good drink selection.( gatorades, soda and water) They’ve also got bait and lures. This park has multiple boat launches which is great for when so many people are trying to get on the water. This park is also very clean, make sure to pack out what you pack in :)! The parking is $10 per vehicle.

Always enjoy time here when we can get in. There is a capacity limit. Swimming, boating, and jet skiing. its all an option. There is a store here with just about everything you need to have a great time. No floaties allowed in the swim area, and you want to put a life vest on the Littles. See you next weekend

Lake Perris is great for families. Even when its crowded, it never feels crowded. Most of the people we encounter there are super chill, just relaxing with kids running in and out of the water. Boating and jet ski are allowed on the other side of the lake, and there is a barrier separating the swim area. There are toilet facilities but they arent maintained very well, that is the only issue, but they are there. Overall, always a fun experience for us.

This is the first time we have been camping in a little while. Since our daughter was born. Lake Perris is very clean. We stayed in the Bobcat campground at #375. It is a nice spot if you dont want anyone behind you. We didnt have anyone camped next to us. Noticed it was more of a party spot in the lower campgrounds because of the music later into the night.The lake is a little ways away. We could have hiked down there but honestly didnt wanna leave our camp alone. Not that its not a safe area. Just my preference. We will be going back in the future. Its a clean place.. Restrooms are super clean. They have the Park Rangers patroling throughout the night and during the day.

It’s okay for family summer lake . It was dirty when I went but yet again it’s the same people who go that should pick up after themselves. The water looks dirty and it smells bad . I like going early morning and enjoy the sunrise to get a good picnic table . It has a bike trail that’s pretty nice .

You ever hear that phrase, Sitting on a beach? Where someone comes and sits right next to you when there is plenty of room around you.The beach is beautiful, the water is warmer than I expected. It was frustrating how close people come to sit, but thats not the fault of the beach itself. We will be back! Lovely family outing

The park is a wonderful place, however, I was disappointed with the customer service I received upon entering. It had been ten years since my last visit, and I had forgotten the location of certain amenities, such as the swimming area and picnic areas. When I entered the park, I expected some assistance from the staff, but unfortunately, the person at the gate was more interested in talking to her coworker than helping me. Despite the parks natural beauty, this poor customer service experience left a negative impression.

Did a 5 mile hike that loops to Terri Peak, expect a steep hike going up and down, wasnt the most scenic hike till you reach the very top, but definitely a good way to get your steps in and burn calories

This State Park is really great for walks in the morning and not too busy during the week. The weekend gets really busy and sometimes they close the park for special events. They have a couple of playgrounds for kids near the picnic areas but most of the time they are closed for repairs. They also have a dock for boats and jetskis. They also have fishing spots but you do need a fishing license. There is also a horse trails and even a horse camping area. RVs also are allowed to camp at the park with reservations in advance. Its a great park for everybody and has something for everyone.

What a great gem in the desert. Everything from day use, camping, RVing, biking, hiking, fishing and swimming! Spent 2 nights camping and spending the day at the beach. There is an island that you can go to if you have the means such as a boat, Sea-Doo etc. Although there are stores and markets about a mile from the gates, there is a small market within the park that has camping essentials, life jackets, some food items such as condiments, smores kits, drinks and also a food truck that serves various offerings. $10 per day per car, so car pooling is best. Seems to be fairly ♿ friendly although may have to go on some terrain to access certain amenities. Bathrooms are usually within eyesight and some contain showers, mostly in the campsites. Enjoy your day, week, weekend with family, friends or even could be ideal for work events.

It is a good destination for everyday visits, especially if you can grab the park pass from your local library. All sites look clean and well-maintained, and even trees look pruned and trimmed. There is a lot of space for running and hiking. One of my disappointments was that the Marina rental was closed on my last visit.

I have to be honest when i say we loved it on a weekday but not so much on the weekend. Parking is an issue, entry fee doubles, its crowded, but the water feels fantastic. If i had to choose it would be a weekday getaway/picnic. They have campsites, barbecue grills, restrooms, alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Had a great time with my family!Showed up around 9 am & there was still plenty of space to set up our section.Also, plenty of life guards out on duty, and they dont play about the rules.Overall, our experience was 10/10 & we will definitely be going back.

Great Lake, I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was. Their are many lifeguards at the beach area and wasn’t to packed on a summer weekend. Parking area was great, big lots and not a far walk to the beach areas. There are bathrooms, grassy areas, covered benches where you can have parties and the parking for our car was $20. This was the cleanest lake I’ve been to, the water didn’t smell funny and there was even shells in the sand which my kids had fun finding. Water wasn’t freezing & was pretty warm. We got there around 12:00 and there was no long lines to get in like another lake we tried to get into. The whole family loves our time here and we look forward to visit again.

Love this lake and how close it is! Just wish people cared and would pickup their trash. There are huge dumpsters people! Simple logic, keep any place clean you want to continue enjoying! They will shut it down if we dont care!

Very clean bathrooms. Water was very clear with a beautiful beach area. Weather was gorgeous first week of June. Rangers are always patrolling and available. No wind except right after sun goes down. Awesome fire pits. Not much shade so bring easy ups. Some sites have built in bbqs. Nice place

Great place! Like a different state, but 3 miles from Stater Bros. Big spaces, nicely arranged so you are not on top of your neighbors. Only downside is that the area is GHETTO and some of the campers are too. If you get a noisy neighbor with half the population of a 3rd world country on their site, well, try moving to a different space. But the realy noisy crowds are mostly confined to weekends and holidays. And mostly the place is beautiful, peaceful, and serene.

This place can be beautiful. The view out the back of my trailer is great. And during the week it is very quiet. There is a native American Interpretative center, marina, campgrounds, picnic pavillions and day use beaches. But it is awful to be here on a winter holiday weekend. Could not imagine how awful it would be in summer. Based on vandalism, trash, graffiti and beer tops it is clear that they need a larger police department. Restrooms do get cleaned but who ever does maintenance is not licensed or skilled. None of the restrooms, pavillions or buildings are not numbered so no way to report problems or direct services in event of emergency. Police to reapond to 911 calls but dont enforce the law, do not issue tickets or make arrests. This place could be nice but seems like its being neglected by staff and treated with disrespect by the visitors.

What a huge improvement from years ago. The water is now very clean. I been here before but never for camping. Huge camping sites. The restrooms and showers were clean and fully stocked with paper and soap1/22/2022I have bike and camp multiple times now. In fact, my uncles have been camping since Friday.4/28/24Still continue to come day or night to get in a few miles. Now I ride with my two kids and dog. Sometimes, my wife tags along. Will invest in a couple of kayaks this year.

Oh my gosh!!! It was amazing! We had such a beautiful camping spot, and the lake was absolutely amazing as well. We took out our Avon inflatable boat and went to Alesandro Island. The kids loved it. Truly an amazing place to visit and camp. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, even when I left my wallet at home with my credit cards to pay! 😆 They let me drive home to get it while my family set up camp.

I came out here for the SoCal Ranger Park testing, and the team was very professional and polite. You could really tell that they enjoy their job. I dont blame them. Perris Lake State Park is a beautiful gem that I never knew existed until now. Ill definitely be making my way back out here for camping and relaxing with friends and family.

Good time to relax...Not pack on weekday 🤗.Just restrooms need a cleaning, spider webs and a spider on restroom wall. Most toilets had toilet paper people should not be dirty😡. All you have to is flush when you finish using it.

Second worst lake in California after the Salton Sea. Only difference was I actually got signal at the Salton Sea. One of the most popular parks in the IE and not one bar. Restrooms are closed “for the season”. It’s warm and sunny here all year. If not now, then when is “the season”?

Review №45

2024-06-27 01:47:05

Save your time and money and skip this place. My husband and I took the boat out to the island this past Memorial Day weekend. The place looked like a dump. Weeds and brush have taken over everywhere. The island is the worst. The weeds have taken over the beach and picnic areas. This is a down right fire hazard. Trash piled up. And so much for no beer allowed. There were empty cans thrown everywhere. No trash cans. Just down right disgusting. What a waste of tax payers money.

Camping 🏕 is great here and a lot to offer! Friendly rangers and staff. Just know they are strict and implement the rules that are in place for all to follow, so that everyone will enjoy Lake Perris State Recreation Area. Please make sure all water vessels are completely dry of water in every compartment. I mean not a drop of 💧 water. If not you will be red tagged and not allowed to launch your boat or watercraft for fear of transporting the quagga mussels from other lakes. Enjoy 😊

Excited to have this little gem so close to home. Its what you would expect from a camp site, no frills, however that is all I need. A great lake that was warm, barbecues, benches, and bathrooms, all I need!

Review №52

2023-08-14 04:17:12

The lake is a great place for a day with the family. There are picnic tables. Restrooms with running water. I recommend bringing soap to wash your hands because theres none supplied. Also bring your own bbq pit because several of the parks bbq pits are not usable.

This place was almost empty which was great for us :D $10 per car, cant beat that. The walk to the water though 🥵 and once we got there, there was so much trash ugh people are so disgusting, they dont pick up after themselves.. other than that, nice, relaxing place, safe for kids, but beware, water level is deep.. I wish I wouldve taken more pictures.. 😪

I mainly go for the trail, it’s 9 miles all around the lake, BUT the only thing that is annoying is the boomers and ignorance of people, if there walking they take up the whole path have no situation awareness of others or they’re walking in the wrong direction of travel same with some cyclist. You also have ignorant people that take their animals and let them run free with no leash, even though California does have a leash law. Other than that it’s great

2024-06-15 03:46:33

The people here are robots, and badly programmed ones at that. It was 8:01pm by the time I got to the boat tag station and the park staff told me they could not tag my boat because I was past the 8:00pm deadline. I told them I was waiting for my kids who were in the restroom and they said I should have driven over to the tagging station and gotten it tagged while I left my young kids in the restroom by themselves. GREAT ADVICE. I asked the staff in the entrance stations a few minutes later and they essentially told me the same thing even though I could tell the robot wanted to try and be human by helping me out. now they have to spend more time and money inspecting my boat the next time I go. Anyways, these people are dumb. end of review.

Beautiful lake area, very loud camp ground. Not sure if it’s a west coast thing but very loud atmosphere for camping. People are allowed run generators til 10pm. There is an enforcement but limited.Very family friendly, lots of pets around, great for a family vacation or people who are okay being surrounded by others. No privacy between sites. Showers, toilets with toilet paper and hot water available which is great. Bathrooms are well maintained.Sites are large as well.

Review №63

2022-08-15 00:24:28

The water here is not very clear but very cool, if it is to cool off in the summer, it is ok. If you go to the hot summer, remember to bring an umbrella to block the sun because on the sandy shore it is very hot without an umbrella, perhaps you will not be able to stand it!

Review №64

2024-06-20 04:02:38

Great place to take the family for a day at the lake, but if you want to bring a boat, get there early as they fill up fast

Review №65

2020-02-03 17:49:34

I love it. A lovely get away close to home. Camping, fishing, boating, hiking, and biking are just a few of the activities possible. I came at the invitation of the city to participate in an organized ride around the lake. The facilities are top notch. The $10 entry fee is well worth the experience. I have fished the lake in the past and I didnt realize the other activities possible. Definitely coming back for a campout.

Great campground and then we went swimming at the lake. Its our first time to overnight camp, we had a blast! We definitely had great memorable summer break with the kids despite this pandemic. Definitely we will be back for longer stay. Highly recommended

Review №68

2024-04-20 14:43:23

Camping here during the week may be nice enough, but starting on Fridays large groups come in and it’s like a battle of the bands by 8pm. The music and screaming and shouting continues until well after midnight. The park staff is off duty at 7pm according to their phone message and the alternative is to call 911.It’s a very uncomfortable camping experience to say the least. There are no campground rules being enforced. We left early and don’t ever plan to go back.

Review №69

2019-09-07 01:12:50

The inspection time to get in with watercraft took forever. We had way more fun coming in the middle of the week vs a crowded weekend. Would be nice if people would pick up after themselves, lots of loose trash, especially on the island. Rest of facilities were well maintained.

First time ever to Lake Perris and my family and I had a blast. Went with some friends with kids the same age and the kids. It was nice watching the kids playing and enjoying them selves. It was perfect for these times because there was no one else there. Met some really nice people later on in the day but still being safe. The water was warm even though it wasnt terribly hot. The scenery is what really grabbed my attention. Definitely going to go back.

Beautiful place to go on any day of the week. Clean restrooms. Plenty of benches and small grills. I wish there was more green grass and larger trees to for bigger shade area. Great for workouts, dates, family picnics. Dogs welcomed here as well. Parking is $10 for all day.

Review for October 2019. Lake Perris State Recreational Park is located in Moreno Valley California. It is a big lake and there is fishing and boating allowed. I was here this day with my brothers from church, we had retreat here. This day was very nice and sunny. It was virtually no wind and the water was perfect. When I say this park is big is an understatement this park is really big. There is a lot of campgrounds and lots of space that you can go bike riding jogging. Also great for chilling relaxing and meditation. Im not guilty, I was saying that I absolutely enjoy my time this day.

The lake is beautiful and the water is SO much improved!!! HOT sand, so wear water shoes for comfort in & out of the lake. Having trash cans closer to the water would be helpful. Would love to see anchored floating swim platforms with ladders inside the buoy/each areas!

Review №76

2021-03-30 14:40:09

The lake is absolutely beautiful! There are campgrounds, bike paths, a beach, and an island with limited picnic sites for a truly special experience. You can take your boat, kayak or other water toys. You can also fish on the lake or along the shore. Lake Perris is a hidden treasure!

Love the lake here, beautiful sunny day the water is cool even though the temperature is about a hundred. There are lifeguards, bathrooms, showers, and theres even a campground a little farther on. This lake is an absolute little Jewel in our area.

The lake is huge and there is no algae like at Silverwood lake. Its mainly a place for boats and jet skis. We tried to use the kayak as well, but the waves from the boats and jet skis made it difficult. We had a blast with the family using the towables and knee boards.

I was there on a Sunday afternoon in September. This place was very beautiful with great views and very clear water, but full of disrespectful Hispanic people with super loud Latin music over anything else. Their loud music could be heard constantly from the campground to the lake, from the morning to the evening, even from a distance away. Ive been to two campgrounds in Wisconsin before and they did not feel like third-world-country campgrounds at all.There was no loud American music or any Caucasian people anywhere in the park on that particular day. Perhaps most of the white folks just stay away from this place during the weekend period.Other than that, the water activities with our waverunners on the lake were fun, especially on the SW side where the lake water was much larger and wide open.The park public bathrooms could be a little gross by the end of the day.

Lake perris is a beautiful lake! Came here with my friends and we had an amazing time! We did see a baby rattle snake that got us shook but it was away from our camp. As long as you’re away from it they won’t come near you. They have signs up everywhere warning about the snakes. So please be careful and wear sandals and have a flashlight with you when you are walking at night. Great Lake with great views. Perfect for friends and family trips.

We had an awesome weekend here camping/seadooing/waterskiing. The water level was higher than Ive seen in a long time. The only issue I have, are the reeds that they allow to continue to take over around the island and other areas. Outside of that, its a great place for an enjoyable day/weekend.

This place was honestly such a dope experience : - D 〰️ 👍🏻 the water was pretty clear and from far away you could see how blue the water was 〰️🤠 I totally recommend, it was an hour and thirty minute trip from South Los Angeles, without traffic. Recommend leaving around 4 AM, to get a great spot in the shade. Also, the entry fee per car is $20.00. Bathrooms are gross. No soap, so please bring your own. They do they toilet paper, but it runs out real quick. So, bring your own in case.

I love this place. Its so prestine and beautiful. They do a really good job at maintaining the beaches and over all area. The day pass is only $10 and well worth the money with bathrooms, vending machines, playgrounds, picnic areas with grills and, the lake all in one area. Its definitely one of our favorite places to go.

I have camped at Lake Perris twice. I highly recommend visiting even for a day trip. Camping reservations are easily done online. The CA State Ranger said weekend camping fills up during the peak summer months. I stayed midweek in June without an issue.Camping in April was good & bad. The good is better weather (low 80s) and few people. The bad was more insects. A swarm of gnats plagued us. I dont remember any bug problems in June, just hotter temperatures (90s).The lake is great. The water was a little chilly in April but my family still got in the water. The water was a perfect cool temperature in June.There are built bathrooms at both the lake and cant ground. There are free showers in the campground bathrooms. Bring your own soap. There are water facets near the camping roads to do dishes and such. I always being water to drink. There are fire pits at each campsite.

Our family loved the lake and camping areas. They were both so much fun. It was nice to be able to camp with clean bathrooms and showers with warm water readily available as needed. It was probably due to inexperience, but no one in our group was able to catch any fish the 4-6 times out trying in many different spots.

Loved the view and we had hook up. Too close to your neighbors. This lake is a party place. Music blaring, people fighting, drunk, cops came. Check in is at 2pm and they stop renting boats at 3pm. So you have to go the next morning at 6am or you wont get one. Wont be coming back.

Boats, jet skis, fishing, hiking, picnicking. A bunch of opportunity for family fun. Bring $10 to get in and $10 extra for brining a JetSki or boat. One of the best low cost ways to have fun on the inland empire. Warm water. Plenty of space to picnic!

The lake was really pretty, the only thing to complain are about what some people do. They leave a lot of plastic thin on the sands, plastic bottles, plastic bags, saw some fruit plastic bags on the tables and the tables were burned, like, why? We should start taking more of public recreational spaces.

While this has some terrific views, and close proximity to Lakes Arrowhead and Big Bear, there are some areas in much need of attention. In the camping areas the electrical posts are in need of maintenance. Our 30A plug was loose and dangerous to use. The grey water only open drains in the parking lot have OBVIOUSLY been used many times for black water (sewage) as the odor is overwhelming (but the hordes of flies seem to LOVE it)! This should have been an entirely anticipated consequence of changing $10 to dump your RV grey and black tanks. The bathrooms are in MUCH need of repair and cleaning as noted in my photos. If you are looking for cleanliness and amenities similar to the profit and customer-oriented RV parks, keep looking. These are government-run and maintained RV services with, unfortunately, entirely expected poor levels of maintenance and cleaning. On the good end of the spectrum the few employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. The Yai Heki Regional Indian Museum is terrific and worth a visit. The presentation video did not have closed captioning and when asked, a ranger said they lost the remote control to activate it. Now understand why there are always spaces available for RVs and tent campers. This is a one and done for us here.

This is a great little lake. Good times to hang out with the entire family. Plenty of trees to hang out in the shade. Kids had a blast going in the water n having fun. They have an area for boating and seadoos. They have a small playground for the younger children and they have bbq pits to cook your meats which are very convenient. The bathrooms were quite dirty and gross. With the $10 dollar fee per car to park they should at least have someone working to clean the restrooms every so often. (Bring your own toilet paper and hand soap)

We went hiking and could see everything in just about a 30 minute walk to the top of the trail we went on.

Had a great time here with my partner! Definitely different from other campsites Ive gone to. A little loud at night from campers playing their music but I didnt really mind it. I love seeing my fellow Latinos take their families camping and doing outdoor activities. The campsites were very spacious, the restrooms were well kept for a campsite. Only negative thing is that the shower in the womens restroom had no cold water (water was very hot)so I had to shower in the mens restroom. We were able to leave our stuff at the site and head over to the lake (all the other campers did the same and I felt like it was pretty safe to leave our stuff). Lake was the tiniest bit crowded but we had a really great time. Id recommend bringing a life vest if you plan on taking a floatie with you (its required). Firewood is also sold at the check-in booth which is very convenient if you forget to bring your own. Would definitely come again :)

Absolutely love coming here. They have so much to do. You can hike, camp, fish, boat, sail and swim. There is so many possibilities for all levels of outdoors people. You can take it easy lake side with a picnic or go canoeing and do some bass fishing. We cant wait for the lake to be all the way full and the fish population to come back. This will be one of the best fishing locations in a couple years.

This lake has many nice views from the mountains to the lake and a view into the city if your into that. The water looks clean from a distance but I havent gone close enough to see how clean the lake is since I mainly go for biking. There is a nice asphalt trail that circles all around the lake and you can even ride on the dam, as well as walk or run. My only gripe is some of the tables along the asphalt trail are poorly taken care of with grass taking over the table which causes some stops to be infested with flying bugs but most of them are fine. Overall its a nice lake and its worth a visit if you want to ride a bike, walk, run, ride a horse, or even use boats, jet skies, or canoes to use in the lake.

The lake is very beautiful and I love the area, but the workers noticed we were Hispanic and quickly began making up excuses not to let us in, talking about wanting to “protect” the lake and whatnot, yet a ton of them weren’t even wearing masks.

Group site #2. Site was clean. Mens & womens bathrooms each had 2 toilets & 2 showers(free). Large sink with running water was great for washing pots n pans, etc. The reason i gave only 4 stars is parking. You cannot drive your car up onto the site. You must park in the lot and carry all your gear to the site, which is maybe 30-40 yards. I suggest taking a wagon to help carry gear. Definitely ice chests with wheels. I never made it to the lake, but the kids did a little fishing. Said it was nice.

Don’t plan on getting any sleep if you come here. . They don’t enforce quiet time. We’ve had blaring loud music all night and it’s continuing into late hours. I feel our 30’ fifth wheel trailer vibrating it’s so loud. Some of us need sleep during our travel schedule. It’s a shame you have no respect for others. Not sure what I’m paying for.

Super Cool place for a good rest. Friday and Saturday nights can get get loud if the weather is warm and Not Cold, Windy and or raining.Certain campers think that since they paid a fee its probably Okie Dokie to leave their Tent Stakes, Zip Ties, Broken Glass, Bottle Caps, and all other trash items anywhere other than the Trash Cans Provided?These Campers have No Sense in Leave No Trace or Leave It Better Than You Found It.I do see the problem why this. The dumpsters are way too far from the campsite they are using. The other reason is these campers think since they paid a fee that the State Park Employees are there to clean up after them. The Restrooms are a Big Example of the way these campers dont care about anyone but themselves leaving their mess thinking someone will clean it up.The Fire Ring Looks like a Trash Can but Its Not!!!I have witnessed some State Park Employees Shirking Their Duties of being tasked to picking up trash in their perspective assigned areas. State Park Employees are on the constant lookout for their Supervisors vehicle. Its like a game of Cat and Mouse or some School Ground Game?It is Funny that the Campground Host is in the Quail Area and Not in the Deer Area where the Campers are?

Me and my family really enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely recommend! My only issue was the water was pretty dirty but I only dipped my feet in anyway so it was all good. I feel like my pictures arent doing it justice because it was actually pretty beautiful. And for it being so close to home and only $10 parking all day and you can come and go with your receipt, it was awesome!

Its a cool place to sit on the beach and swim but boating here is dangerous. They let way to many people on the lake.

Beautiful state park. It cost $8 or $10 to park. You can camp, fish, boat, hike, even ride horses. There are places to shower, full toilet and even a convenient store that sells bait. Park rangers, DFG, and police all have stations there. 50mph on water I believe. 2 sand beaches for swimming. Dogs are welcome.

Stayed two days and one night. Camp sites are a good value, nice firepit with grill attached. Park Rangers can be a little testy. Checking in takes some time. Lake is great early in the morning and warm enough that the kids arent cold but its still refreshing. Weekends are super busy. Recommend you arrive early even if youre just going to be there for the day. The park fills up quickly.

There is not enough space for camping. Too many people, they also need to clean the lake to much trash.

Although we didnt catch any fish this time, we had a nice outing. Our time was cut short due to our daughter getting her first job. Oh happy day.

Only a handful of people there today (January 10). A Beautiful California State Park :) $10 entry for the day. Magical when there is nobody there... I walked my dog and took photos. It was an amazing day!

Beautiful recreation area, many spots to come set up for the day or weekend. Many great places to go for a swim, public restrooms, boat dock section and many more..

We came to the lake for a field visit with grandpa and the dog. According to Google, the place was expected to be crowded - given the time of the year and historical trends. I am glad the flow was incorrect, as the lake was empty and the grounds incredibly clean. We could take the dog for a long hike, and she had a blast playing fetch by herself. Throughout our few hours there, we only saw a couple of other visitors, which is strange given the place is marvelous, and there are plenty of nearby municipalities. This is a location I would recommend during weekdays because of its laud public, yet we were lucky to find a weekend that was too cold for other people. There are portable throughout the hikes and a few benches for the elders to sit. Some decent picture-spot for birds are also along the pathway. Although comprehensive because of the weather, we saw minimal wildlife around - other than a few ducks on the lake. Around the ducks, there were fishermen with short-throw rods. Strangely, many of the different parking zones were closed, thus some combined flow was created. On a second note, it would be nice to have some snack machines for people who forgot to bring their food. There are large, permanent toilets nearby the docking station, but they lacked a functioning hand dryer and some soap.

In the past Lake perris was known for a not so clean recreational Campground/lake. The water was drained,so repairs could be done on the Dam,and it also helped create more plants/trees for fish to hide around,and take our lures. I only started going back last year. Since last april they have added more water,and is very close to its 100% capacity,the Restrooms,water,beaches,and camp areas are cleaner and clearer. weekdays are great to go fishing,BBQ, or anything you do there to have a good time. The weekdays are great if you want a nice quiet time,with friends,family,Both or even alone. There is ussuly 1-3 boats on the water. Now the weekends are different,and holidays. The marina still rents out boats that are kinda beat up,and the price is high per hour. The Lake now allows you fish from the dock. For a fee of course, $2 for kids $3 for adults. The price for park entry is $10 for the day,camping is separate price. The Lake also offers hiking and a paved trail that wraps around the lake for Bike riding,or running.the South end of the lake has a small area to picnic,camp and fish. At one time you could swim,but i would not recommend it. Only because people fish and it has alot more broken bushes that you can not see since the water level raised. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me and i will answer as soon as i see them. I have been going to lake perris for over 20 years. I moved to moreno valley in 1985,moved away in 2003.

People dont give this lake enough credit. 2022 and 2023 has been dramatically different. Bathrooms are clean and less trash. But, still people need to learn how to pack out what they pack in.

Typical reservoir terrain (brown and dusty), with asphalt parking space for trailer/tow vehicle (side-by-side). All spots are a short back-in distance (not a straight runway), mostly unleveled. Huge beaches and picnic areas.

Perfect if you want to be near a beach without going to the actual beach. Theres lots of parking and the lake is clean, good facilities for cookouts and just chilling with friends and family. Parking is 10 dollars for the day.
