Pretty detailed question. Maybe you should try a hotel first? There are plenty of cheap hotels and bed & breakfast type places in both Arrowhead and Big Bear. Bring your bikes and hiking boots and you can still get out and see everything. There are loads of hiking and bike trails.

I wouldn’t know about the camping, but Castle Rock trail on the west end of the lake, south shore, is pretty good for hiking and seeing beautiful scenery.
Try the Big Bear Discovery Center http://www.bigbeardiscoverycenter.com/ for more information.
Also, it you are planning to park anywhere in San Bernardino National Forest, you need a Forest Adventure Pass. The above link has more on that.
