This is one of the many campgrounds I use when camping in the Cleveland National Forest. It is a primitive campground with vault toilets, water, picnic tables, and a fire ring. . Easy access, it is only a mile off Interstate 8 and paved highway to the entrance. The best part is the price - only $14 per night. A great site only an hour away from San Diego. This campground also has sites with horse corrals and there are normally a couple horse campers there as well. . Lots of birds and even had a Blue Jay come visit me in camp! . The Pacific Crest Trail runs by the campground and if you follow it up for a couple miles you can hike to Kitchen Creek Falls. The falls is decent in the late winter or spring, but after that not much water flowing through.

Highly recommend this campground! Very cozy. Has water available and basic bathroom. Drive in campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. It gets windy out so prepare if you plan on using a tent. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is right along the property. It seems to be a very popular trail.

Love this place so many memories running the pct 50 in 2011 to hiking it with my buddy Karl on his way to Canada

I've stayed 3 times now. Each time has met my expectations. It's a low Maintained campground and next to the freeway. However, for the price, $14.00 a night, as well as being in the middle of the pct, having vaulted toilets, nice big spots and in cell service, it's my go to for a quick and easy getaway.

Beautiful California oak Grove with camp sites dispersed. The sites are very basic, the dirt path (road) that winds through the Grove to get to camp sites needs some work as it is very rutted and rough. The sites are spacious and arranged to be pretty private. 3 bars Verizon which is good for this back country area. Freeway is close and constant mumur in background.
