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. They have a number of campsites and it didn't seem like they filled up too quickly. Other than thru hikers, there were only a handful of campers around.

The campsites are a bit of a walk from the lake, but there's a lot of great resources nearby. There's a campstore a short distance from the campgrounds, and a full bathroom with showers.

There's lot of great hiking nearby, particularly on the PCT, but it's also a great spot to just relax and unwind. There's a lot of turkeys that were wandering around in the morning.

There's a number of signs about the water not being potable. The ranger told us he drinks the water, and we drank it without filtering and we're fine.
