TravelerVery cute set up tent sites are right next to road but it’s not to busy of a road. They have a basketball court one, lake for fishing or swimming and paddle boats to go out on the lake. There are tv hook ups and cabins. I did not see any fire pits on sites. Bathrooms are ok and have locks which you need code for.

We stayed here multiple times to car camp and have stayed in sites 3, 6, and 28. We really enjoyed site 28 due to the spectacular views of Escondido. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because their can be some creepy people occasionally like some old guy was following my son in his car. But other than that we had a good stay. If you are in a camper I would recommend Escondido RV resort instead due to the more inviting feel (we stayed there in our Coleman travel trailer). But if you car camp a lot like myself I would recommend staying here at Dixon lake. Great stay overall👍😊
Scout
Great campground for families. Lots of activities for the kids to do, like smores by the fire, art, splash pad, and play ground. Facility was clean
Scout
I have been a member of this place for 20+ years.
Most times if someone has a problem at the front gate. It because of the many background checks and or any one of the Screening Process...
The previous review does not mention anything about that factor???? I wonder why??
Scout
There is always a spot or 2 open. Staff are always polite.

This is our second stay here and probably our last. It was super expensive this time and we were put in the back (overflow) lot which name I use loosely as when it rains it floods. Had to park the car at the office so it wouldn’t float away. Upon our arrival my husband pulled up in our 42’ 5th wheel and parked to go into the office. There is a painted line on the curb where I guess you’re supposed to park but our unit would have been longer and wider than that space provided. She also could have used some tact and nicely asked if he could park the unit in the space provided but she was asking for a fight. He went to register and a lady with longer gray hair and glasses, who I’d seen there before, greeted him with..you need to park by the curb in the designated area- you’re blocking my driveway!! That kinda set the tone. He said I thought you’d open the gate so I could get out of the way. About that time I pulled up in the car and he was storming out the bldg saying I have to get out of the way- park in the designated area! So I went in and couldn’t understand why he hadn’t registered already. She very hatefully said I told him to move he was blocking my drive! (There was nobody out there but us). The tone could have been better, but I wasn’t in the mood for a confrontation- she took my information and said you’ve been here before so you know where you’re going! Maybe she is the owner or maybe an employee but it wasn’t a great way to start off our 2 wk stay at the rate of $2k! She was a real bitch!
GuideWe didn't particularly care for the area, it was not far enough out to feel like in serene nature but still far to drive to anything. Well kept campground, enjoyed the mini golf (probably our favorite TT mini golf so far) but weren't too majorly impressed overall. It didn't help that it rained a lot and the streets turned into lakes - so not only did you have geese on your roof but also right outside your door. ;)

Spot #24 is amazing
Guide
For the price of full hook up ($35) in a location so close to the beach, I call it a win. It was beautiful with a pond and walking paths. There were many dogs and we saw horses on the paths too. The bathrooms / showers were clean and didn’t stink. Always had toilet paper. Showers take specific coins and you have to get them from the office before 5pm so if you arrive late, keep that in mind. Spots are good size and paved paths are well lit at night. Good for going to the restroom at night but bright if you have a spot near the walkways. Otherwise the camp is pretty dark at night

This is a gem of a campground. Almost every site has an ocean view of some kind.
The roads that lead to the sites is a bit narrow, so if your towable is on the long side, you might have to work a bit to back it in. The maximum length is 38. We had 30/50 amp electrical and water. Dump station is on your way out, with 3 stations in that row. Wi-Fi works fair. Cell towers are in sight just to the north, so no reception issues. Lots of hiking and bike trails. We did a 12 mile loop to the north, and a ride along the coast on some bike paths. Shake shack and Beachcomber's restaurants are just down the street for an easy ride or walk. Bathroom and showers are very clean. The picnic tables are what you would expect, very seasoned. :-) Most are anchored to the sites. The length of the site is very good with lots of room to setup your outdoor goodies. Check in is at 3pm. They are hard on this. If you arrive early, you can register, but will be directed to Reef Point back down PCH or to the visitors center in front of the camp entrance.
TravelerI have been here for a few months and I love it here. It's not only in the middle of a nature preserve but you're also in the middle of a City. You're nearby to all the stores you could ever need but you're also around a lot of wild life. The staff is friendly and the whole RV park is beautiful. Bathrooms are clean and they even have fun events on many of the weekends. The spaces are well spaced out and you're not right on top of your neighbors. Come on by and stay a spell.
TravelerI stayed here years ago with my husband. We swam, I did yoga and we just relaxed. We camped and enjoyed our stay.

We ended up here after a futile search for an affordable hotel in the area. Even though it was not inexpensive, we secured a beachfront site. The sites are in three sections: standard, deluxe, and premium. There are also cabins and a group tent area (on the public beach).
The reservation process was not easy – you cannot make same-day online reservations and have to navigate a detailed menu on the phone to finally get to the reservation desk.
We arrived after dark, just as the office was closing but were able to get our information packet. Payment is in full when you make the reservation. As we expected, the sites are stacked up next to each other like dominoes with minimal foliage/fencing to separate the sites. The beachfront and preferred sites have a concrete and sand pad while some less expensive sites have just sand.
There are codes to enter the restrooms, the bike path, and the pool. The restrooms were clean as were the showers, with good hot water and decent water pressure.
In season, there are many activities and amenities offered including a water park, water sports rentals, a bistro, a snack bar, movies on the beach, and a swimming beach. About the only amenities available in November were the pool, two hot tubs (although one was not working when we were there), and the .75-mile concrete path around the lake. A gentle water aerobics class is offered three times a week. There is also a marina, but we don’t have a boat so we did not explore this. In season, you can rent pavilions, and pool or beach cabanas, all for an additional cost.
Although this is a fully contained resort, it is not quiet. You will hear road noise and at certain times of the day, near constant noise from planes at nearby John Wayne airport.
This was an affordable respite for us on a long road trip, but it is VERY expensive in season (about three times the price of “winter” rates). Also, it would be an entirely different experience when fully booked!

Nice enough campground close to the town. Is gated, so pretty secure with park rangers that drive around. There are some permanent citizens here, but everyone was nice.
ScoutI thought this campground was pretty nice and I enjoyed the views, the peace and quiet, we slept in our Cargo Van set up as a camper. We paid $30 for the spot and restroom was pretty close about a 2 min walk. I recommend this location!
TravelerThis campgroud has two sections. The lakeview area has dirt roads, sparse grass and a few spots close to the lake. The Cottonwood campground has concrete pads and well maintained grass throughout. This campground may have been renovated recently by the looks of it.
There is a small store and a couple of cabins too, but the cabins don’t appear to be bookable via the website.
I stayed in both and liked the spacing and grass better in the cottonwood campground but overall this park was a nice surprise for us, especially given the limited amount of “good” campgrounds around LA.
Showers available, but only ok. Need to use tokens for them. Cottonwood has full hookups thru out, and lakeview is mostly just water/electric with a dump site near the entrance.
Definitely would stay again. Weekends are very busy here
ScoutVery nice gated and secure campground with many amenities.
GuideStaying for a week so good so far have spot 120 beautiful grass wilderness area.
ScoutDoes not allow tent camping

This place is immaculate. The owners are nice and helpful.
TravelerThe lake is a reservoir and good for just a day trip, but don’t stay too long. Gets super hot and you can’t swim in the lake to cool off at all. The boat ride was fun but also cost money. We heard screaming children all day but otherwise, the view from our site was nice and land was decent
RangerVery polite courteous no rude people here we enjoyed every minute of our week stay prices vary in how close to lake u r

I have been staying in my rv full time for ten years. And this campground is absolutely the worst. Good: the lady who takes the reservations is very friendly at first. Bad: First day: check in. The spot is very difficult to get to up a hill. And small. Almost impossible to park. Plug in electricity. Sewer hookup was good. Screw on the water to their connection. And it breaks. Water flooding my site for 45 minutes before they shut it off. Maintenance guy on site comes and fixes it. Didn’t even try to hook up the water and on day 3 it breaks again. Spraying my rv with high pressure water again. Flooding inside. Water all over the electrical connection. So much water flooding my travel trailer starts sinking and sliding down the hill. Office doesn’t care. They come fix it again. This time it decides to hold until we are packing up our campsite. Then it blows water all over again. Told the office that they broke the jack on the front of my rv. Flooded my rv. The “nice” lady in the office now becomes very defensive telling me that they take accountability for nothing that happens at their rv park. So I call the company that owns the campground. Basically the same response. There is a very nice county rv park that is much less expensive right around the corner. Stay there and your trip will not end up being the nightmare that mine was. These guys ruined a great vacation. P.s. the lake is disgusting. Maintenance guy looks like he’s on drugs. And there are old tweeker trailers all over the park.
ScoutPark in reasonable shape but showing she is going to need some paint etc. personel friendly and helpful. Sites nice size. Easy access to north sky for our starlink
ScoutARRIVED AT Bolsa Chika Beach about 200pm walked along the beach collecting seashells at sunset sat on the sand watching the sunset
GuideGreat campground! Tented in spot #6, it has a steep driveway downhill but the spot is super private and has a beautiful view of the lake. The campground has coin operated showers ($1 for 5 mins) and has cheap boat rentals. The city is right outside the campground but it still feels like you’re in nature. Highly recommend!
