I would definitely return

Beautiful campground near schope scout reservation. The forestry is great and some clean bathrooms. Sadly for the people that can't survive without their phones, there's no cell. However, there's a beautiful atmosphere all around that you can soak. Camping is one of those things where you have to look up to really enjoy it.

Nice place for camping. Campground was big and 3 cars can be parked. Hike to Palomar mountain was easy. Restrooms were very clean.

Sites were decent size. We were at site #7 in the Oak Loop. There was a large tree that provided shade most of the day which was nice. But from about 1-5pm it got pretty toasty until the sun started going down. Just a good idea to do some research on what sites have shaded areas or make sure to bring your own shade. Bathrooms were fine, vaulted toilets, sometimes ran out of toilet paper, but usually filled periodically throughout the day. Camp host was very friendly. And probably about a 20-30 minute drive to town, which was convenient for last minute supplies. There is also a hiking trail just across the main road.

Great little camp ground. As long as you don't mind being serenaded by coyotes. Large sites with fire pits and BBQ grills. Clean bathrooms with flushing toilets. Potable water. Animal friendly. Friendly camp hosts. Quiet with the occasional traffic noise. In the woods. Very clean. Easy to find. There is even a little gas station market 5 minutes up the road which has everything you forgot... My fa... Great little camp ground. As long as you don't mind being serenaded by coyotes.
