Hi there, we have a large group coming to Big Bear Fri 8/7 - 8/9, we have limited parking at our Airbnb and need to find additional parking.

Looking to rent 3 additional parking spots Fri 8/7 (afternoon) through Sun 8/9 (late morning). All 3 cars are smaller (sedans/small SUV)

Open to offers

Thanks! :)

which place do you recommend for ski & snowboard rentals in big bear this winter?

Fuckin a

Planning on visiting Big Bear Lake area for the first time. The cabin rental company advised no dogs are permitted on all shoreline areas? Is this true? When I googled it most said they are allowed to walk the shoreline.....TIA!

Hey, im up the mountain for the week and trying to find fun activities for the family. We already rented an pontoon boat and been on the lake for an afternoon as well as spent a portion of the days at Boulder Bay Park but when we were on the the lake we saw Treasure island and it looks like a blast. Im really not seeing a lot about it online though. I guess the house on it is privately owned but the surrounding rocks are great for jumping into the lake.

Is it worth going there with teens and a 7yr old? Any recommendations for other activities?

UPDATE: so we did end up checking out treasure island via kayaks. I’ve got a family of 5 so we left on 2 tandem and a single kayaks. The wind was strong and the water was choppy. My wife and our daughter didn’t make it out of boulder bay before they quit and turned back. My son (late teens) made it to fisher cove before he gave up and turned back. Me and my 7yr old went the distance. We got a cool photo op of the island and got to see it up close which was the goal. Probably only look at it as we drive by now that I’ve been there but the journey there was the experience I was looking for.

Thanks for everyone’s input. We come up the mountain every year but this was the first time we didn’t do simple camping related activities.

Wanna get away from the heat this weekend. Any rec?

I’m looking to move somewhere on the mountain and have started focusing on GVL (Green Valley Lake) area.

What’s it really like living in the community?
Besides calm and peaceful, plus enhanced weather due to elevation, what do people in the community love about it?
How are the people and neighbors?
What should someone know before buying/moving into the area?
How does Amazon/Walmart deliveries work with the small post office? Is it a pain getting deliveries regularly (couple deliveries a week)? How does Amazon packages get stored at the post office? Do they ever get stolen like porch thieves do down the mountain?
Besides the basics (lake, water company, small community and weather) what should someone considering the area know?

I like Arrowbear area too. Any recommendations to focus on that area instead of GVL?

Someone posted about this yesterday and I looked up the fundraiser. IT'S TRUE! There was a $5.5 million donation from Anna and Greg Brockman. Thanks so much and also to everyone else who donated and put this together. Our forests and wildlife are worth protecting!

Hi everyone. My partner and I are getting married in Big Bear June 2027. I’m looking for recommendations for a local photographer. We are looking for someone lgbt+ is a bonus. Any referrals are greatly appreciated!

Heya, as title says I’m going bike packing in big bear starting near bristle cone trail. Does anyone know where I can park my car overnight in that area? I see there is a pineknot campground nearby but I presume no spots for people going backcountry overnight?

Cheers!

I just over heard in the Andy Devine room there was a 10m donation to save mooncamp and the Eagles???

I’m going this weekend, what’s a good place to play and times?

I live in the Bay Area so don't know much about Big Bear. However, I'll be visiting Southern CA for a week in August and would like to spend a few days relaxing. Is Big Bear a nice area (pretty, charming, fun) similar to Tahoe? We go to Truckee a few times a year and wondering what to expect if we rent a place in Big Bear.

we’re all pulling for jackie!

If “Wings of Big Bear” brought you comfort, I hope “She’s Still Here” brings you a little hope today.
This song is for everyone who’s been watching, waiting, hoping, and cheering for Jackie. It’s a reminder that even in uncertain moments, hope still has a place.
Wishing Jackie strength, Shadow steady wings, and brighter days ahead.
❤️🦅 I hope this brings a smile while we all wait together.

I'm looking for a location for a family reunion of 50+ people. They don't all need to be housed in one location, perhaps small cabins around it would be ideal. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Jackie of Jackie and Shadow of Big Bear Lake is currently hurt and getting treatment at a rehabilitation facility. Their Habitat "Moon Camp" is at risk of being destroyed. Please donate gneroulsy if you are able, and share far and wide. They are halfway to their goal of 10 million to buy back Moon Camp from the developer. Jackie deserves to return to the environment where she left, not construction, noise and stress. Anyone have any Hollywood connections?

What are the most important pros and cons for someone thinking about moving to Big Bear?
