This is a very nice place to camp! It’s a fairly small campground. And can be noisy when the campgrounds are full. I would recommend ear plugs at night. They also have a pool and hot springs. They also have showers that you can use, that I believe are free.

We come here every year with our family and always make such fun memories. The sunsets here are unlike anywhere else and the pools are perfect for the warm days. They also have hot springs which are fun to relax in. We always look forward to coming here.

Highly recommend this location! It's the perfect place to truly disconnect. The natural beauty is incredible—nights are amazing, and mornings are breathtaking. The pools are the perfect bonus. While cell service is spotty, the ranger station conveniently provides free Wi-Fi. The amenities are great: they have flush toilets, and showers can be used for a small fee. Be sure to bring enough food, drinks, and ice for your stay. You may even be able to book one of their cabins! Plus, the town of Julian (40 minutes away) is close enough for a quick trip to grab a great slice of apple pie.

We just returned from an early season stay in a cabin. It was nice because it had AC, as the other reviews mentioned, $70 a night, sink, bathroom and two queen platforms, beautiful view. There are a couple cabins that face the mountains so if you want the view check the map. I love the mineral spring pools, even though the heating element was currently broken it was still about 90 degrees. I didn’t enjoy the other campers so much, a strange bunch in the pool, I can only imagine what it is like when it’s really crowded. Still a very relaxing experience. I hiked both of their trails and perhaps because of the early season they weren’t well maintained and signage was minimal. I got lost and had to scramble over many rocks but that sort of made it adventurous. I didn’t see any sheep but did see two campers on the trail doing something I wish I hadn’t seen! I definitely would return here hopefully to a cabin as the tent sites are diverse and often shade less. Cabins are hard to score, also bring bug spray, watch your food for mice. Make sure you have your supplies in order as the camp store is currently closed. El Centro is 50 minutes away but it was kind of interesting exploring their giant Walmart. I was able to use my satellite feature to send a few texts, it’s nice to go off the grid, if you do need internet it’s a short drive to Vallecito park up the road for service. Very beautiful, good mana, some trippy people, makes it interesting.

This is one of you go to campgrounds. It was hot in mid September, and there aren't many sites with shade, but the pools were key to enjoying the trip even with the heat. There are several historical markers to visit near by as well as the mud caves. We keep coming back to this camp ground because it is well kept and friendly.
