Well I recommend Lytle Creek camp ground, just take sierra ave. North (were ever in fontana you are) keep going north you will be passing the 210 fwy. Keep on going until you see a camp ground you will pass a Lytle Creek towncenter with restaurants and stuff, also the San Bernardino Fire Department station, in fact its next to the SBFD station. There you can go hiking fishing lots of shade play all games! Its nice!!! I drive from San Bernardino City to ther all the time and it takes me about ~20mins. Have fun and best wishes!
