Ok, so you want to be the outdoor type of person, but you know you couldn’t put two twigs together to save your live. Have no fear! Rancho Jurupa is here!!
Ok, that was cheesy, but I will say that if you want the easiest camping experience ever, than Rancho Jurupa Regional Park is a good choice. First of all it is cheap, only $20 per night for a site that has electricity and water. Second, it is really easy to get to, it’s basically on the outskirts of downtown Riverside. Third, it’s very clean, you camp on clean cut grass and you have hot showers (that cost 50 cents per 3 minutes).
Besides being clean there are lots of fun things to do. The main attraction is probably walking along the Santa Ana River trail (if you want you can hike it all the way to the beach), but there is many other things to do. They have a miniature golf course (costs $5 per round), a water park, a fishing pond, two playgrounds, and several equestrian trails.
Not exactly roughing it, with our tent we were definitely in the minority (the majority being 5th wheels), but still a lot of fun.

Oh, and if your curious. AJ really likes chocolate milk, but you have to say “CHOCIT MELK!!!”
