    My daughter doing some archery
    Gene M.

    What a great campground in Jamul. We had a group campout and all the kids had a blast. There are many camping area along with some RV parking. There are also Yurts/Tepees and small "cabin" like accommodations. Our group panned for gold, took some archery lessons and did some zip lining. These things cost a little extra, but well worth it in our opinion. There was a General store to pick up some basic supplies and get snacks. There were plenty of clean bathrooms and showers. The kids really enjoyed the HUGE play structures, obstacle course and BMX track. There is also a petting zoo. I took some video, but Yelp only allows for pictures. This campground is quite large and there really is a lot to do for kids of all ages. I'm sure I missed a few things, but overall it was a great experience for all of us. We'll be back.

    The camps activities are boring for anyone over the age of 7 . The only fun thing was BMX, which should've been open longer. I even saw 5 snakes which I have an insane fear of. You get a 1 star.

    This place was awesome! Great for families with children. We went for Halloween event they hosted for military families. There are cabins or teepees for camping or you can stay in your RV. There is plenty of parking. Events were organized and fun. Staff was so friendly! Bathrooms were clean. They have showers but only with cold water. Events provided to us included archery, zip lining, trick or treating and more. They have a small area to view animals- goats, iguana, donkeys and more. My daughter loved petting the donkeys! We loved the camp show they provided and the fire pits with hot chocolate and s'mores! Trick or treating was so fun for the kids and the food provided was a plus. If you are gluten free, you might want to bring your own meals although they do provide fresh fruit. They have areas to hike if you like to walk and they have a big play area for children that include slides, swings, apparatus to climb on, tether ball and more. Fell free to bring your kids bikes! We can't wait to return!

    So if you're a fan of the type of camping I like...(not real camping) you'd definitely like this place! I went camping at the Indian Hills Camp and I thought it was a great place. Its not too far off into the wilderness and its designed perfectly for large groups. I think the different areas were sectioned off perfectly with parking really close to the different camp sites (so you don't have to lug all that camp gear too far) complete with an outlet post, 3-5 picnic tables, one water spout, 1-3 grills, 1-4 fire pits, an open playing area, and space enough to fit 10-15 large tents. Close to each camp site is private bathrooms and showers (WITH hot water!!). Other amenities include: outdoor wooden amphitheaters for skits and presentations, jungle gym, archery, 3 different pools, cabins, and lots lots more! The thing I liked the most was that they have 24 hour security rangers that drive around in their golf carts. This was fantastic because I came with the youth group I lead (20 teenagers...*pull my hair out now*) and I felt very very safe. They even helped with setting up tents and what not! I hiked up one of the trails that lead to an observation deck, nice steep hike and a fabulous view. I definitely had a great weekend!

    Our Girl Scout troop just got back from an easy weekend at Indian Hills Camp. We tent camped but there are other options like cabins, covered wagons, and teepees. Reservations fill up fast so plan way ahead. The staff is super helpful and very polite. The camp ground is clean and has lots of activities to keep your kids busy including the pools, massive playground, hiking trails, paintball, obstacle course, zip line, BMX courses where you can rent bikes, archery, petting zoo, human foozball , volley ball, and more. There is a small store where you can rent things and purchase things you might've forgotten. It closes at lunch. The only area of improvement would be the bathrooms near the larger pool. Time to get the bleach and power hose out. The environmentally safe cleanser just isn't cutting it. The portable potties smelled cleaner, they were brand new so maybe they are aware of the problem? As usual, certain campers did not respect the quiet time rules and some brought dogs, which is acceptable; however, endless barking at 1:30 A.M. is just rude. The coyotes, roosters, and donkeys provided enough serenade. Would go back because it is super easy to camp with small kiddos. They make it clear that this is primarily a kids camp. There was not an unhappy child anywhere around. It's kind of like Disneyland camp style.

    This place was great! Kids aged 1-15 they had a BLAST !! Staff was kind and helpful, cannot say better things about them. Facilities and areas were very clean and safe. Tons to do! Def will be back again.

    Ask the Community - Indian Hills Camp

    Are pets allowed camping?

    We allow dogs on leashes while at camp.

    Does the General Store sell bags of ice?

    Yes, our general store stocks ice, firewood, and other various camping needs alongside souvenirs.

    How's the cell phone reception there?

    Though this is an old question, currently the best reception is enjoyed by Verizon. AT&T will often have limited coverage, and T-Mobile has nothing outside of Wi-Fi calling.

    We went in the pool with a water slide, explored a gold mine, played on the larges playground I have seen, oh and ran on a BMX track.

    IS THIS A CAMPGROUND OR CAMP RESIDENCY Interesting indeed…read more My stay at Pio Pico Thousand Trails campground offered a versatile accommodation experience, catering to a broad range of preferences and lifestyles. It's like blending in all options in one community. It features permanent housing for  RV, mobile homes, and tiny homes. While also offering 2-7 day stay for homes on wheels rentals, tenting and cabins. And at the same time adding the membership cabin pass option. All surrounded by tall mountains and the rhythmic calming hum of the flowing creek through the campground. WHAT WHERE YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS? I rented a 6 person cabin for a party of four. TBH, six could sleep comfortably but not hang out in the cabin all day comfortably. I was particularly impressed with the cabin; it was fantastic with a well-stocked kitchen full of dishes, pots, and pans, toaster,  blender, toiletries, linens, etc.  The highlight, surprisingly, was the abundance of electrical outlets - a rare find in such settings. All electronic appliances and ceiling fans worked without a hitch ensuring comfort throughout the cabin. The layout of the cabin was thought-out. Many windows for cross ventilation that actually worked.  Essentially, utilizing and maximizing a small space with warmth comfort.  WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CAMPGROUND FEATURES? It rained my time here so I understood how I could get stuck with flooding and not able to move my low clearance car. But I prevailed. And experienced the rare opportunity of the flowing creek from the mountains. The campground features two pools and two jacuzzis, a garden, billiards & horse game adding a touch of activities to the agenda. The facilities were clean and well-maintained.  Also noted the individual tent spaces were spacious. The cabins have adequate space for two cars, outdoor canopy and tent. DESCRIBE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE The staff was friendly.  However, a word of caution: the campground ranger is quite hyper-vigilant, bordering on intrusive. While it's clear she means well, her approach can feel more hovering than helpful at times. I would have preferred the same vigilance with pet owners eliminating in non-designated areas. Like near the restrooms that are people populated and unleashed pets. WHAT'S YOUR OVERALL IMPRESSION? Overall, Thousand Trails is an acceptable choice for those looking for solo or families to have a comfortable and equipped place to stay. All cabins are not disability accessible. Although the aesthetic aspect may not be its strong suit, withnumerous mobile homes and permanent RV distractions, I also used my time for indoor writing, sleeping, and woo-sahing.  I would add that guests respected the noise levels and each other's spaces.  Given the plethora of choices in southern California, Pio Pico may not necessarily be an automatic  choice. HIGHLIGHTS THAT TRAVELERS WOULD APPRECIATE  *At&T cell service worked throughout the campgrounds, I did not pay for Wi-Fi. *Parking is free but guess parking is limited and may require a walk if you're at the back of the campground. *Pool, jacuzzi and trash areas were clean and maintained. *Eateries, grocery, Target etc. are 15 minutes drive. *Have trek poles and headlamps when walking at night. *The mountains are majestic *No fire campground - please respect this  "Camping is a chance to live with nature and learn valuable life lessons from her wisdom."    - Paul Kortepete #juken123  #thousandtrails #sandiegocampgrounds #piopico #cabinpass #hikehealth #camphealth #campjamulca #campca

    I've had some pretty unkind things to say in the past but have been very pleasantly surprised…read morelately. Sheila, the manager remains dedicated to amazing service & the last several months have been nothing short of an exceptionally stay. A year ago, I would've voted this one the worst parks I've been to but they continue to remain diligent in improvements & in my opinion, I, can no longer say they are struggling like they once were. Theyve made improvements in everything from the staff to the amenities. It's much more comfortable now! I used to dread this park but it has quickly caught up to Oakzanita, the best park in the region. Which I highly value, as I had unfortunately hit a rough patch with park management but they were kind AND professional enough to hit the reset button with me. Which they've remained true to & very few people or places can do. I can't express how much this park has improved, and I was once one of it's harshest critics. But members, amenities & staff have improved tremendously! Definitely worth the reservation these days. Also, worth noting.. Their cabins are ABSOLUTELY stunning!!

The bathrooms and hot showers were clean and well-maintained. The fish cleaning area and sink were spotless. Trash on the ground or in the water was a rare sight to see. For $58 a night, it was a great value. I had a nice view of the lake, too. After I checked-in and set up the campsite, with my tent, and a small camping table, I rented a rowboat for $25, good for five hours, so that I could go fishing. The walk between the campground and boat rental dock is about 25 minutes each way if you're using the shorter route. The lake itself is very clean. Though I would not drink the water from Lake Jennings without a water filter, out of curiosity, I did put some of Lake Jennings' water into an empty water bottle to see how clear the water is. To my surprise, the water is completely clear! While I was sitting in the rowboat, I noticed lots of different birds--bluebirds, coots, ducks, geese, grebes, hawks, herons, hummingbirds, osprey, sparrows, vultures, woodpeckers, a few others I wasn't sure what they were. Anyway, after the first hour of having my rod cast, I didn't think I would catch anything and began to lose hope. However, as the afternoon started to cool, under the mature trees, off the shoreline, just opposite west of the rental dock, my fishing line started to pull. I quickly reeled the line in and realized that this was a pretty big fish. I dipped my net into the water, to get the fish into the boat. I used my handheld fish scale and the catfish weighed just over eight pounds!! (I used homemade bait made up of oatmeal and fresh garlic, rolled up in a peanut butter ball, that I prepared the night before. Also, the line was about 15 feet under water.) After I caught the one fish, I returned the boat, and went back to the campsite to clean and cook it. I cooked the fish using a portable camping grill grate--with a bit of olive oil, a liberal amount of fresh herbs (oregano, parsley, thyme, diced garlic, and Hungarian sweet paprika), and lemon--over an open fire, in the fire ring, that they have in each campsite. I used Lucela mesquite charcoal to fuel the campfire. The catfish was high quality and delicious--easily the best catfish that I have tasted, in my life, to date. At night, the campground was completely quiet, even on a weekend night. The night sky was nice, too. However, the lake's management is strict about having all campfires extinguished by 11:00 PM. The next morning, I had planned to cook breakfast, but decided to sleep in. At about 11:30 AM, I checked out. Checkout time is before 12:00 PM (noon). Overall, this was a perfect little one-night trip. Hopefully, I will return in the future. If I ever do come back, I'll probably make it a two-night trip, so that I can explore more of the lake, and maybe aim to catch a crappie, sunfish, or trout.

We make the short drive up on Wednesday and spend the night before heading back home mid Thanksgiving morning. It is always a lot of fun. Bex family all love fishing and the lake provides ample opportunity. Stocked regularly with trout. They all caught their share. The spots are spacious. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The facilities and the grounds are clean and maintained. Prices are very reasonable. Besides camping, Lake Jennings offers boating (you can rent a boat or bring your own), hiking. There's on-site horseshoe pits too. If not camping, you can just spend the day if you want to. Lots of great picnic areas. We've always loved Lake Jennings. It was our favorite campground when we had our RV. We look forward to getting back into camping.

    Our stay at the San Diego KOA exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, it was…read moreclear the property is exceptionally well maintained--clean, clearly marked, and beautifully landscaped with mature trees, manicured bushes, and vibrant flowers throughout. We especially loved the fire pits, and the firewood delivery service was impressively fast and convenient. Our cabin was another highlight--spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and incredibly comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Getting around the campground was easy, and it was simple to connect with other family members staying nearby. Despite seeing some reviews mentioning noise, we experienced none at all--just a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Check-in was quick and seamless, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their friendliness really added to the overall experience. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and will absolutely recommend it to friends and family. Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, this is a fantastic place to stay. Room - We rented the Deluxe Cabin (Full Bath with Shower), KOA Patio ® Sleeping Loft. One room had a queen-sized bed, another very small room had a bunkbed (2 beds total), there was a couch in the main area that folded out and there was a large loft space with what looked to be a queen-sized mattress. Note, you couldn't stand up in the loft (perhaps small kids could - I'm 5'2" and could not). Kitchen had decent sized fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, pots, pans, and utensils. Outside was a propane grill (worked great), a fire pit with 4 Adirondack chairs and tables and an umbrella covered picnic table with I believe 6 chairs. There was also a stand up bar height table by the fire pit. And I almost forgot the best part - one bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Linens provided (bed and bath). Nearby activities: Very easy to travel to all the sites from this location (beaches, parks, zoo, etc.) SafetyI felt very safe staying here as a female. Food & drinks: They have a cafe of sorts on site but we did not check it out. Of note: Some of the outer perimeter tent campsites were right off the freeway. My cousin who stayed there said it was a little bit noisy. Where we were DC203 was very quiet and peaceful.

    Stayed in a deluxe cabin at San Diego Metro KOA and had a really great experience overall…read more The cabin can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people -- there's a queen bed in the master, a queen mattress in the loft, bunk beds, and even a foldout couch. It came fully stocked with linens, towels, and even beach towels, which was a nice touch. The kitchenette with a full-size fridge was perfect for our needs, and outside we had a gas grill, a table with an umbrella that seats six, plus a fire pit with four Adirondack chairs -- great setup for relaxing evenings. The air conditioning worked really well, which we definitely appreciated. The bathroom was on the smaller side, and the sink never got hot water, but the shower and kitchen hot water worked just fine. Honestly, having a private bathroom at all was a big plus compared to walking to the shared comfort station. One thing to note: there's no daily housekeeping like a hotel, so you'll need to tidy up after yourselves during your stay. The campground itself is clean, well-maintained, and gated, so it feels safe and not open to random foot traffic. There are tons of amenities -- pool, playground, convenience store, jumping pillow, dog park -- though we didn't use many since we spent most of our time at the beach. They also offer firewood delivery for a fee, which is super convenient. We had read some reviews about noise from other campers, but that wasn't our experience at all. Everyone seemed respectful of quiet hours, and it was peaceful during our stay. Beds were comfortable -- definitely beats sleeping on the ground or an air mattress. Location is also a big win, with easy access to beaches and Balboa Park. Would absolutely stay here again if we're back in the area!
