went late January and it was cold but fun. very quiet except for running stream. water was mostly shut off so we had to filter from a stream in the morning. only $14 for a single site. great for pct backpackers. we dropped wood via car the day before so we could hike in and stay warm by the fire.
Really laid back campground. Sites are nicely spaced apart and large. Other campers were quiet. My friends and I had 2 sites side by side and there was room for 5 cars. We set up 3 tents, used the fires, and the picnic tables. Pit toilets were as to be expected - decently clean. Running water at the sites. Dog friendly. Roads were nice for bike riding too.
Great campsite, usually empty depending on the time of year. It’s fun talking to the eclectic groups of people here, or the pct hikers. Some fun off road trails surrounding the area, I’ve gone a few times with some water around. But that’s not often. Everywhere here is usually respectful and cleans up after themselves. It’s awesome to know this is In our backyard. Hope they open it up to be able to take the off road trails to mount laguna.
It was a nice and beautiful place. Green. Cannot swim in the ponds. Not safe! Lots of land for hiking. Beautiful view! $28.00 per night in double spaces. We stay in the middle of the campsite. It was big, but it has a LOT of wasps, but we can manage to enjoy 2 nights.
$14 a night. Great for tent, van and small trailer. Level and shades spots. First come first serve. Quiet. Close to San Diego. No power or sewer. Shared water so fill tanks or bring long hose. Gets sunny to charge solar. Along Pacific Crest Trail. Ideal for ebike base camp. New picnic tables, fitepits and restrooms. Great stargazing. No cell service but 5 min drive away to get it. No nearby stores, so don't forget anything.
