Glamping for sure

We have stayed there twice. It for sure is glamping with all the amenities. Pool, places to eat and drink. The staff is always friendly. 

Be cautious about what sire you select. We had # 1 and it is so noisy that we had to by a white noise machine. The freeway is close by and it seems having a really loud car or a motorcycle id a thing there in Chula Vista. You will hear it at all hours. We had site #210 and it is the best, view, reasonably quiet. With that being said, I would opt for the south side of the property.

Great place to stay

This is a very clean well maintained place to stay. We stay every Fourth of July for at least a week. The bay view spots have a great view of the water. The bay and the marina are within walking distance and there is a restaurant at the marina. There is water electric sewer and cable at each site. This campground is close to downtown San Diego, Sea World and the Botanical gardens. There are many good restaurants close by also.
