Great for beginner campers; lacks privacy/peace; over-zealous rangers patroling
Pros:
easy to get to, nice amenities
right next to Julian (perfect for day trips into town)
there are a few campsites where you can create some privacy (much more so than many other San Diego park campgrounds)
cool, easy trails to hike nearby
Cons:
most campsites are right on top of each other, many don't provide shade. One occasion, a family with a giant RV parked in the middle of the tent campground area, their generator/other RV components were extremely loud, and they brought two power wheel cars that their young children promptly began to drive around (adding to the sounds of other battery-powered crap) at 6am. My solace came when the batteries finally died.
rangers are constantly patrolling and there are A TON of rules for the campground ("quiet hours", no ropes or anything else tied to the trees)
the area is ridden with flies at certain times of the year- i believe it was late summer
