"Music must be off by 10, and there is a ranger who comes around to make sure of it. Fires out by 11.
Campsites have a picnic table and fire ring. Water and electric hookups."
"Lake Morena is an awesome place to stay. This was our first campsite during our PCT thru hike, approximately 20 miles from the Mexico border via the trail."
$35 / night
"I love this campground because it's woodsy and close to home. You get that far away feel without being too far away. "
"We had hosts that were helpful, friendly, the restrooms were stocked/clean, they brought firewood around, and were just good people."
$35 / night
"This is the closest campground to the lakes. Just a couple steps away from the beautiful meadow it overlooks. Lots of trees for hammocking!!"
"It is a big, big campground that is wooded and adjacent a large meadow, recreational area and lake (when not dried out, drought sucks)."
$24 / night
" The Lake Morena campground is well-kept and relaxing. It has a variety of sites including full-hookup, partial hookup, and tent only."
"The views of the lakes and mountains are breathtaking. Lots of wildlife to see. Bobcats, deer, quail, rabbits and wild turkeys. Good internet if on Verizon network"
$30 / night
"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."
"Nice drive just outside the city, great trail and all the necessary amenities. We will definitely be back!"
"Such a great little campground tuck away from the rest. First coke first serve basis. Pit toilet (extremely clean). Running water. Plenty of huge shaded sites. Awesome night sky viewing as well."
"Awesome campsite with a cute little river tucked away. There was plenty of flat ground for our tent and Jeep. It was a really nice spot to spend the whole day at as well."
$20 - $50 / night
"Found this spot after being turned away from lake Moreno campgrounds. Plenty of room for our trailer and enough space between sites to feel like we were alone out here."
$75 - $85 / night
"It’s off the beaten path of I-8. To get here you take some very windy roads, bigger rigs will take up most the road. Almost all sites are back-in with little site definition."
"It’s a bit off the beaten path, but it’s a beautiful part of San Diego county.
Amenities include a mini petting Zoo and things like a hayride in warmer weather."
$40 / night
"While both have their positives, I personally love this one for its close proximity to the waterfalls that are a short trail from the campsites."
"Tucked away from the city lights of San Diego. Very nice camp ground with multiple trails climbing up Mt. Cuyamaca."
"There's enough space to spread out when it's not busy, but if all the spots are taken it would feel too close to other campers for us."
"Right next to one of the main trails and surrounded by 50+ miles of them."

ScoutHad a great time here and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend. Has a pool, park for the kids, and a little shop to get any of your necessities.
TravelerGreat spot for camping , if you have a big rig it’s a little tight to move around on the roads but definitely nice for sprinters / trucks / suvs or even cars ! Roads are PAVED , I think thats new because I don’t remember that last year when i went !
ScoutLots of things to do! Right next to the beach, large campgrounds! Fire pits and dog friendly!
ScoutI've camped at Burnt Rancheria for about 15 years. The hosts that were there in 2024 were ATROCIOUS, unfriendly, intrusive and homophobic. I'm thrilled to say that a new company was hired to run the campground for 2025 called WesTrek- and what a difference! Our camping trip was WONDERFUL last weekend.
We had hosts that were helpful, friendly, the restrooms were stocked/clean, they brought firewood around, and were just good people. Big shout-out to the hosts Dax, Lane, Nick,& Sara-- we will happily start camping here regularly again! So relieved that we can actually*relax* in nature and not have camp hosts driving by every five minutes glaring at us!
One other thing to note- the campground is divided into two parts. The south half(more chapparal) can be reserved online. It has the showers and flush toilets. The north side(more pines!) is first-come/ first-serve only and close by the overflow parking, vault toilets only. Potable water available throughout whole campground. 10/10 one of my fave spots in southern california!
TravelerMy favorite spot to come up from san diego (only and hour away) and escape to some pine trees and meadow wilderness. So many hikes behind this campground I definitely recommend checking out
GuideBeautiful Campground just outside San Diego. Busy but is well maintained. Not the most quiet, but we enjoyed watching the planes fly over and people watching!
GuideWater front back in sites, pull through sites, other back in sites not waterfront and two tent sites. Don’t book with the concierge service. Easier to call the campground itself. Cell service is great and they have WiFi. Clean restrooms with shower. Water, sewage and power hook ups (30&50 amp). Small store and a boat house you can rent stuff like kayaks and paddle boards from. Great hidden gem.
GuideVery quite, friendly people and beautiful space
ScoutWe had a wonderful stay here! The campground was clean and well maintained. We had a campsite on the outer loop (9) that backed up to an overlook of a field. If you don’t need a pull through, definitely get one of the outer loop spaces - they’re way less cramped. It’s SD, so there is definitely traffic and airplane noise, but totally expected. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because of the bathrooms/showers. Clean but so cramped. At $35 a night, though, definitely worth it!
