The entire place is peaceful, well-kept, and surrounded by beautiful nature, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The campsites are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out with just the right amount of privacy. What really stood out to us were the showers and restrooms, spotless and well maintained, which is so important to us when camping. You can tell the staff genuinely care about keeping everything in great condition. A huge shoutout to Scott and Mario, the campground hosts, they are incredibly hospitable, friendly, and always ready to help. They made our stay even more enjoyable with their kindness and welcoming attitude. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend Kumeyaay Campground to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-run place to camp!

Honestly I was genuinely upset. I scheduled for a friday check in and it said it was available and a Sunday morning checkout.

Honestly I was genuinely upset. I scheduled for a friday check in and it said it was available and a Sunday morning checkout. Me and friends traveled from Vegas and got here later than we planned and got there around 12am (technically Saturday now) and we camp all the time and have never come across a problem where if we show up later then check in time and we couldn't get in because there was a gate covering the entrance. And even if the site was closed Friday, the site should have a true blocked window for when you can book. I even called Saturday morning and multiple times mid day to see if we could camp our Saturday-Sunday reservation and no answer or call back. So im left to assume they were closed but again the website said it was open to book for the days I needed. Bad communication, website could've been more thorough on booking dates, and could've at least had more signs at the entrance to state closure for that day. I stayed at lake Jennings last minute lost my money from this reservation but it was a terrible experience not going to lie. Never has happened before, but definitely disappointed. Ps there's no communication or explanation in the website / reservation confirmation email on what to do if you show up late. The other place i stayed at sent me a whole code and phone number on what to do.

Nice little campground. Tent sites available. RV sites available in different lengths. Fires are allowed, in fire pits, at each site. (Fires might not be allowed during some seasons as this is in a fire prone area.) Picnic table at each site. Generators allowed in certain campsites during non-quiet hours. Potable water available. Bathrooms available. Showers available. Trash dumpsters available. R... Nice little campground. Tent sites available. RV sites available in different lengths.

The camp grounds are Beautiful and the bathrooms are nice and clean but the camp rangers make this whole experience not worth going. Talk about killing the mood. I get they are trying to keep the park nice. But we had 3 camp rangers come over keep in mind we have only been here for not even 5 hours. I had my phone music on he told us to turn it down and it was only 8:40pm. My music to my phone it...

I had my phone music on he told us to turn it down and it was only 8:40pm. My music to my phone it not loud at all. He had me turn that down. It’s crazy. Not worth going. That will be the last time I go and camp there!!!! Horrible …… and no smoking no vapes. 🤦🏼♀️
