Rancho Jurupa Park is a popular and versatile regional park located along the Santa Ana River, just west of historic downtown Riverside. Surrounded by a semi-rural setting with shady cottonwood trees, meadows, and two lakes, the park offers a peaceful escape close to the city’s entertainment and urban amenities. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, including fishing at the two lakes, playing mini golf, Frisbee golf, biking, and water play at the splash pad within the waterpark area. The park features a well-maintained campground with spacious, level sites suitable for both tents and RVs, offering a lively yet peaceful atmosphere, especially during weekends. It is family-friendly and pet-friendly, with ample green space and quiet hours to ensure a good night's sleep. The waterpark and playground are popular attractions, providing fun for children during hot summer days. Nearby amenities include restaurants, drive-in theaters, and snack spots, making it convenient for visitors. Although the golf course is somewhat old with a clogged hole, it remains affordable and enjoyable. Overall, Rancho Jurupa Park is a neat and lively spot perfect for family trips, outdoor activities, and relaxing camping experiences, offering a blend of natural beauty and recreational facilities.
We love camping here. It is so peaceful and relaxing. There are lots of camping spots and the lake is nice to relax by.

Fun park to camp and fish, great volunteer staff and Rangers, a fun waterpark. Sad that Louis Rubidoux Nature center has closed permanently, a fire took out the nature center, restooms and starage survived, hu. My painted a mural when we were volunteers. A great place to volunteer.
