    Fountain of Youth Spa RV Resort

    In the desert - a fountain

    Nice people, mainly for during the winter here.

    SPA and pool is nice - but no fire allowed. We took the cheapest side for 39. But they also have some with a table and more atmosphere.

    dirt camp is 30.

    Fountain of Youth Spa RV Resort

    Great, Clean Campground for Winter Fun

    I've spent many weekends at this resort over the last 15 years or so, visiting my grandparents that lived here in the winter. Tons of activities, clean and quiet, such a wonderful spot!

    Vallecito County Park

    Perfect

    We didn’t plan on camping here but when everything else was packed, we found this little spot. It’s perfect for overlanders

    Vallecito County Park

    Small family oriented campground

    My wife and our two dogs (small chi mixes) stayed at this campground over Veterans Day weekend. There are two halves, one for RV’s, horses, and a few tent sites and the other half is all tents. In the center are the restrooms/showers, a few parking spots, and camp host’s RV. The sites are pretty small and very close together but even on a busy holiday weekend where nearby Agua Caliente was full, here were plenty of sites available. Camp host was very active driving around welcoming everybody and was helpful with any questions you might have. Tons of coyotes! They’re tricky and smart, so stay sharp at night on walks with furry ones.

    There are fire rings and tables at every site with water sources every few sites. The stage coach station is a historical landmark and sits in the center near the facilities. Pretty cool small cemetery and children’s playground available as well. It was definitely a safe, accessible, and incredibly clean campground. Lots of flies between late morning/afternoon but I’m sure citronella and a cooler period would have solved that problem. We would stay again!

    Vallecito County Park

    Stagecoach Stop in 1850s

    Vallecito is a great secluded campground. It doesn't get a lot of visitors like Agua Caliente 4 miles down the road. As a result the wildlife is everywhere; bees, coyotes, hawks, rabbits.... This is an old stagecoach stop in the 1800s with lots of history. Around the Stagecoach building there is poster telling you of the history of the area. There's also a small cemetery.

    There's water but no power hookups. The bathrooms are clean.

    The park volunteer was super friendly and made my stay.

    Have good cell service
