GuideGreat campgrounds, a little hot for summer!
The drive up here from San Diego is quick and picturesque. You'll pass through a couple quaint and historic little mountain towns, but Julian is the best stop. Make sure to grab some pie and hard cider before you leave, apples grow everywhere in Julian. As for the campgrounds, they are located at an elevation of 4,200 ft and feature rolling hills with deer and wild turkeys! We were able to see both, as well as a pack of 20 raccoons when we were about to go to sleep. Most sites have trees, but you can't tie anything to them FYI. Bathrooms and showers were close and very clean...bring quarters for the showers.
SiteWe stayed at site 85 which had a great tent pad, but site 84 literally shares your site. Then amp sites are too close together so you're staring at your neighbors and they can hear everything you say. The sites being split was our biggest complaint. We were a group of 4 adults and our neighbors were a family of 5 with three little kids...needless to say, not the greatest match for site sharing for either of us. Next time we plan to book the site next to us, would recommend you do the same.
