Potrero County Park

Amazing adventure… although ecoli in water!

Pretty place with fire pits, picnic tables, trails, playgrounds, bathrooms, pay showers, and friendly staff.

Nice drive just outside the city, great trail and all the necessary amenities. We will definitely be back!

Visited this past weekend (October), had great weather. Campgrounds were nice and not too crowded. Lots of shade in the RV sites and seemingly everywhere (lots of trees). I will say there were a LOT of flies and bees, but not much you can do about that. Nice little trail with some signage on the Kumayaay and local plantlife. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We'd definitely go back.

My advice is to make a day trip into Tecate also, it’s only 6 miles away. These camp sites are great. I was surprised with how much shade there is; lots of great oak trees. Good hiking trails. We stayed in “Tent site 2” which was good. My only criticism is that the sites are just a little too close, unless you don’t have a neighbor. It’s not bad, just my personal preference. There’s a general store only about about 2 miles from the camp. We parked at the border for 7 bucks, walked across and had tacos. Loved it.

Potrero is a good little campground in a big park. There a play park for the kids and an exercise path for the adults. The bathrooms are clean and there is electrical and water hookups. It makes for a quick getaway from the city.

Limited cell service. There's a market 2 miles away.

Birthday party. We had an amazing time and plenty of space for tents. More than about six cars is extra cost but very cheap sites.
