I made the reset a week ago and when I got there the forest rangers told me it burnt down 3 weeks agoAnd I even got a confirmation email telling me not to forget to be thereSo why didn't I get a update on the forest being burnt down?I prepared for a very long time because this was my first time camping and I am very upset that this company didn't tell me that the forest burnt down and continued to sell reservations

Falcon group site is a very accomodating for large groups. The firepit is big enough to keep the entire group warm on the cool Cleveland National Forest nights. There are wooden picnic benches and a vaulted toliet that makes camping a little more comfortable. The parking may get a little tight, but if you are efficient with the space it shouldn't be an issue. I would book the Falcon Groupsite again.

Unfortunately this campsite is not so reserved as expected , the site is big enough for the 25/30 people but the location and privacy was not the best , we had a bad experience of unwelcome visitors using our parking lot and restrooms . The parking is restricted to 6 cars only but somehow other people managed to park and leave there vehicles at out site , also they would use our restrooms even if we tried to put some type of sign saying it was reserved .. we had to basically tell every single person that tried to park or used our restroom that this location was reserved, we even had an argument with a couple that refuse to believe this was a reserved location ..
It’s unfortunate because this was supposed to be a nice private camping family experience. Instead felt more like we had to keep a look out for intruders and direct them away from our camp site . The restrooms seemed to have been used before we arrived and not clean at all . I really wanted to like this place since it was not far from my location and the size is really great for a group of families . Some advise if you plan to visit this location , take a rope or lights or cones something to indicate this is a reserved location and not for the public .

We stayed on the Sage site and was more than enough room for our 13 people. The site was mostly flat, had potable water, several benches, fire ring, and large grill, with the occasional tree root and rock to trip over. Each of the three Falcon group sites has its own pair of vault bathrooms, ours was clean and as good as a vault bathroom can be. The sites are far enough from each other that you probably won't even know they are occupied or not. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails whether you want to do an easy 2miles or difficult 20 miles. The area around the camp is beautiful, lots of oak trees, chaparral, and even some pine - all while be just a few minutes off the Ortega Highway and about 20 minutes from Lake Elsinore. Be aware that there is no cell service at the site, although you can pick up a few bars while hiking around.

Really great place to camp with a large group, lots of space, running water, trash cans, grill, tables/seats, and restroom

Excellent location. Plenty of good, flat areas for large tents. Great campfire, table, grille, and water locations.

September is peak tarantula season and they are everywhere at Falcon! If you’re into these furry arachnids then that’s your month.
