GuideWeekend Camping
This campground is only open Friday-Sunday. Most of the sites were occupied but didn’t feel packed or overcrowded. Bathrooms were clean and had hot showers. Nice trails nearby and within the campground. The city of Santee was only 10 minutes away with plenty of stores and restaurants. Only complaint is the person next to us came back to their site at 4am and was loud. Overall great place to camp for the weekend!
TravelerKumeyaay Lake Campground
Great simple campsite for a quick solo camp, very close to home so it’s nice just to pop in without having to plan out to much, but would advise making a reservation, nice clean bathrooms and showers, so many hiking / MTB trails in Mission Trails Regional Park so lots to do…it can get extremely hot this time of the year so plan to hike early, also fishing is assessable at the nearby lake, very short hike from campsite, free to fish just need to have proper fish license… campground is only open Friday and Saturday night, about $22 a night, it’s a state park so no smoking, no alcohol, campfires are currently allowed after 7:00pm, overall it’s perfect for a little urban getaway! ✌🏼🧡
