Prado Regional Park

Great for fishing, tent and RV camping. RV sites have full hook ups and some of the sites are by the water. Only downfall? Train runs near by through out the day and you can hear it. They also have 4 travel trailers stationed at the canpground so people can rent online incase they don't own one.

My grandson wanted to go fishing, so my wife planned a quick trip to Prado Regional Park. We got there early on a Saturday morning. The line was about 10-15 cars already. Check in was fine, even though it was Labor Day weekend. The park was ok. There were people camping there. It reminded me of Lake Skinner. The grass was dry and brown, there was gopher holes or holes of some other creatures. We parked and unloaded our stuff. We walked to look for a spot. Since we were early, there was plenty of room. The spot we picked was covered with ants, close to the water. We stayed, because it was probably covered in ants everywhere near the water. We found a small spot with brush blocking the water on each side of us. I didn’t get a bite all the time I fished. I switched the type of bait, about 4 times, but nothing worked. I ended up catching a duck, because Daffy decided to eat my power bait. I reeled in my line carefully and used a towel to cover Daffy’s eyes. I was able to remove the hook from Daffy’s mouth. The best part was watching my grandson learn to cast and reel in the bait. I wish there would have been one fish caught, so he could have felt the fight. We had some finger foods and drinks. The restrooms were surprisingly clean. There was a picnic site by our location, so it was easy to wash our hands. So… No fish caught. Dry landscape. Lake side covered in ants. Charges $40 to enter, $20 for me, $20 for the car. Weird. Daffy ate my bait. I missed some college football for this. Fishing was license free today. It is one of two days, that a license was not needed, although I do have an annual fresh and salt water license. I would have rather been shore fishing at Del Mar Beach in Oceanside. Yea, there is a Del Mar Beach in Oceanside, but on Camp Pendleton. This place is only ok. I wouldn’t recommend this park for serious fishing. This is why they call the sport “fishing” and not CATCHING.

Great spot for outdoor fun and family time! I recently visited this Park and had a wonderful experience! This park is perfect for a fun day out with family or friends. You can enjoy BBQ, picnics, camping, playgrounds for kids and even water activities like paddle boating, fishing and a beautiful lake view. Parking is $15 per vehicle

Prado Park is located off the 71 FWY off Euclid. I believe their new prices as of May 2025 are now $10/vehicle on weekdays and $15/vehicle on weekends & special events. $3/pedestrian, $1/dog must be on a 6' leash at all times. They list all fees on their website FYI. The park is huge! It offers picnic facilities, biking, kid's playground, hiking, fishing, camping, trails, and more. It has a meeting room that seats up to 80 people and can be used for parties, or simply gatherings. I also noticed additional offerings such as an equestrian center, disc golf course, archery and shooting ranges. Don't expect to see pretty, colorful flowers but the park is nice and clean. Some areas will have gopher holes, watch your step. Staff do their best to keep the park enjoyable, which it is. Overall, it's always a great, relaxing time at Prado Park.

Awesome Regional park! Has a lot of space, animals, and trees for shade. They are currently developing it and has a great brand new park for kids and toddlers, including a water park. They allow fishing with a license and have some basic equipment at the entrance. $8 entrance fee which is very reasonable. Has a lot of sites for camping as well which I want to come back for a weekend getaway. I love all the benches scattered around the park with a grill and nearby shade areas so people can lounge around and enjoy the vibes. I really hope they continue on track and develop the park with more areas for kids, families, and people to come enjoy the nature to get away from the city.
