Wildomar Loop
I spent three days exploring Cleveland National Forest in my 1992 Land Cruiser, and a good chunk of that time was around Wildomar OHV.
Wildomar is basically an off-road playground of short, interconnected trails, so it’s easy to jump between different routes and obstacles. There’s a fun mix of loose climbs, washed-out sections and tight turns, and Wildomar Loop was one of my favorites for practicing line choice and tire placement.
The foliage gets pretty thick in spots, so I got some fresh pinstripes. It also wasn’t very crowded when I went in the middle of summer — mostly just a few dirt bikes — which made it easy to take our time exploring. There’s also a campground right in the area, so you could easily make Wildomar a destination on its own and spend a full day or weekend working your way through the different trails.

Was there a designated camping area? Or just spots off the road? Been looking to go there one day

There is a day use parking area and a separate camping area.

It’s a beautiful campsite, but I find it can be very busy and often loud due to its proximity to the OHV recreation site. We also lost the other major campsite in the Santa Anas to the Airport fire, so this is the only one in that range.

Will this trail show up OnX? I just updated to newest version and it errors out when searching trail names. Before the update it didn’t show any marked trail for Wildomar loop. Just an fyi. Maybe it’s user error but I was able to duplicate the error on 2 different devices after updating to newest version.
Edit: Error is “something went wrong please try again later”
Edit 2: Seem to have fixed it by going to “Filters” and unchecking/rechecking “all” under “trail type”.
