The view on the small 2ish mile hike is something to behold. If you're into sweeping green valley, it's pretty much the hike for you. If you're into true isolation, you're not gonna wuite get that, but there is something to behold the view of the tiny cityscape next to the many hills. Before the specific rock, which would be the top of the hike, I would argue is a better vantage point a few feet off the beaten path. A few small rocks surrounded by tall grass being blown in the wind. T'was the PERFECT panaramic view.

I'm almost afraid to post this as it might get too popular. I walk my dog here often (always on a leash) because it's generally protected from the wind and most days very serene. Though there are sufficient amenities in the park, most days there are few visitors given the size of the park.

El Chorro Park is a great County park. Botanical Gardens, golf, disc golf, camping, playgrounds, clubhouse, picnic/bbg, softball fields, dog park, and hiking on a huge property. Add a water feature, in the summer and it would be an ideal destination. Sweeping views of the majestic peaks and even Morro rock from some points of property. Get out and check it out.

It was very beautiful... The view is awesome when you stand at the sun dial and it works tells real time.

Really sad to see such A nice park sprayed with herbicides. They sprayed right next to people's campsites(while people were there). All the roads, campsites, even by the dog bag dispenser. They don't care about your kids or your pets here. No notices or warning flags, just a bunch of dead grass headaches and stomach pains. There was no need for it. The place looks terrible now, dead grass everywhere. As a lawn care specialist this was either pure laziness or someone was trying to hurt other people.

I love this place. Walked to the golf course with my clubs to play nine holes. Only four stars because no fires allowed.

This is our 2nd time staying here. I love the amount of space between each camper and all the privacy the short trees provide. There is also a large park with bbq's, playground with a tire swing, and even a botanical garden.

For a little county park it does pretty well. For RV campers, it comes with all of the hookups electric and Sewer as needed. As of June 2018 prices for RVs were $40 a night. For primitive camping $25 per night. Extra cars and pets come with the extra fee. There are hiking trails, be sure to bring plenty of water as it is a little toasty in the daytime. There is a sports fields nearby that does have games so it might be a little noisy if it's being used in the evenings. There are fire pits at every campsite, to be on the safe side I would recommend bringing your own wood, as the camp host may not have any on hand. Bring plenty of quarters if you want to have a hot shower. About every other campsite was filled when we visited. All in all it was a very nice getaway. Beautiful stars at night.
