Kumeyaay Lake Campground

Perfect hidden gem. Once you are in your site you feel amazed how you are still in the city because you hear no freeway noise or see any signs of civilization. The vegetation keeps the campers secluded. Bathrooms are clean with showers. No power in the sites. I like spot 28. It's a little bigger than some. Perfect for tent or small rvs. Don't recommend trailer bigger than 20 feet.

This is a wonderfully clean campsite. There are bathrooms, hot showers and outdoor sinks. Easy garbage and recycling access. The staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming back. Just watch out for the racoons trying to steal your food at night. My only wish is that you could reserve spots in addition to Fri/Sat/Sun.

Campsite Review: Uncomfortable and Unwelcoming Experience We recently stayed at this campsite, hoping for a peaceful and enjoyable family getaway. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the actions of a groundskeeper named Eodore, whose behavior was invasive, harassing, and deeply unsettling. From the beginning, Eodore displayed a concerning lack of professionalism. He parked at the end of our driveway multiple times, watching us and invading our privacy. He approached us repeatedly to remind us—five separate times—not to go to sleep without putting out the fire, even though we had already acknowledged his instructions politely each time. Despite complying with every request, his constant targeting and scrutiny made it clear we were being singled out. When we finally questioned why he was hovering near our site and repeatedly giving us the same reminders, he justified his behavior by saying he could hear us laughing across the campsite. We immediately apologized and assured him we would keep our volume to a minimum. However, even after lowering our voices to a whisper, he remained standing there and asked if we understood what “quiet time” was, despite the fact that we were already compliant. Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, we asked if there had been any complaints about us. His response was dismissive: “No, there don’t need to be.” This exchange made it clear that his behavior wasn’t about enforcing rules but about targeting us unfairly. To ensure we had evidence of our compliance, we began recording our interactions. Later that night, Eodore returned once again to remind us about the fire. When we asked him to leave and told him his behavior was harassing and making us feel unsafe, he escalated the situation, arguing with us and even threatening to call the police. We encouraged him to do so, confident in the recordings that showed we had done nothing wrong. The situation became so disruptive that another camper was awakened and intervened. When Eodore asked this camper to act as a witness, they responded that the argument itself had woken them up. The harassment didn’t stop there. Throughout the night, we saw Eodore sneaking around the trees and bushes near our site, which was especially terrifying since we had children with us. His actions made us feel unsafe, vulnerable, and robbed of the peaceful camping experience we had hoped for. This was the most uncomfortable camping experience we’ve ever had. What should have been a fun and relaxing trip turned into a sleepless night filled with stress and unease. Eodore’s behavior was completely inappropriate, and his sarcastic demeanor when asked for his name only added to the frustration. We cannot recommend this campsite to anyone seeking a safe and welcoming environment. This experience left us questioning the professionalism and training of the staff and completely ruined our trip.

What a horrible experience today, I was unaware of the changed parking lot hours because of daylight savings time. I was locked in and had to seek the onsite host to open the gate.. I knocked on the the door and I immediately apologized for disrupting his evening, well it wasn't good enough.. The first older gentleman proceeded to ask me if I knew how to read and told me I was disrespecting him and disrespecting his time.. WoW! He asked me if I noticed all the signs with the posted hours ... As I'm walking back to my vehicle he comes the other Man and His Giant wolf Dog.. He starts telling me,I should be more mindful of the posted signs and of people's personal time. At this point , I've had enough and said "look sir, you and the other gentleman need to understand, that the time just changed yesterday and it was an accident... I asked him for his name, and he replied Euro. I drive out the gate and head towards the last gate to exit the grounds... As I'm waiting, here comes the two Men and a young lady.. The female has her phone out and is taking video of me as if I committed some crime.. Nobody should be treated like this, because of an honest mistake.. I apologized multiple times and I still was treated badly.. These individuals should not be hosting, because they are far from welcoming..

I did not stay but what a gem! Located right here in practically suburbia’s backyard yet teaming with wildlife, plants, and options to hike, jog, bike, camp, and feel like you are away without the hassle/trek to no where. The Park Rangers are super friendly. I guess I never took the time to explore what literally next door. There are brick and mortar bathrooms, cement tables, I saw lots of families just camping out of their vehicles, even more tents. No cabins. It was interesting because there are some professionals changing to go for a run mixed with people training to rough it. Signs everywhere explaining plant, wildlife, and trail markers. A great, quick getaway especially for beginners.
