I had an amazing time connecting with nature at Green Valley Campground. I highly recommend it to…read morethe Yelp Community! This campground is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with firepits, picnic tables, decent restrooms with full working toilets/token showers, and water faucets adjacent to or nearby campsites. The campsites have a good amount of shade and the way they're situated provide seclusion. For hikers, it's perfect for accessible trails. There's a mini waterfall for some water fun. And lastly during my stay, an onsite Park Staff drove around the campsite periodically. I'm not sure if it's a routine thing but it was nice to see. All in all, this place is a gem for an overall peaceful camping experience.

Beautiful area, clean campgrounds. Would be a 5 star if the lower bathrooms were open. It was a…read morevery long and confusing path to get to the upper bathrooms during the day, and impossible at night.

I love this place. My only small complaint would be the WiFi bandwidth... it's a little shotty but…read moremeh the good far outweighs the bad. When I can afford it, I want to pay to stay for an extended amount of time. For the quality and what you get for what you pay daily, it's the best. I used to pay $90/day to keep my rv somewhere else and it's almost half as much here. Well it's a little more if you add the waste/ sewage but it's still not nearly close to $90. The level of comfort and home vibe I felt while staying says a lot because this new full time rv way of life has been a tough adjustment for me but woods valley made me feel like "yeah I could for sure do this." I could only afford to pay for one day at a time but if you pay for weekly or monthly, you get a discount. So that's my eventual goal.

* Terrible camping experience. * The owner handled…read morecomplaints poorly and seemed more interested in finding problems than resolving them. *We noticed multiple Latino families--including ours--receiving repeated complaints, which left us feeling unfairly targeted because of our ethnicity. * Advertised as dog-friendly, yet we were told our dogs couldn't be leashed at our campsite and later received a complaint because they barked. * People appear to be living there full-time, with cluttered sites and vehicles being worked on regularly. * The pond had no fish, despite what we expected. * Not a relaxing or family-friendly campground. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

First time at this campground, we were here in March to scope out but it was snowing hoping that by…read morethe time we head in April the snow would be gone, and it was. Upon reading other reviews regarding about poison ivy, we didn't see any at the time but just be careful, there wasn't any bugs when I was there (April 26-28, 2024) but if you're planning on going after April, bring bug spray and mosquitos spray or candles. The campground that we reserved online was number 28, but number 29 was more secluded and privacy. It was close to the restroom which has showers on the other side BUT if you're planning on showering at night, bring a head light or a flash light, the light doesn't work in there. The handicap shower wasn't working, can't add coins and the door is jammed, you gotta pull the handle up and it only has one lock working. Bring extra toilet paper, the ranger or host wasn't there at the time and bring your own hand soap too. Shower does have running hot water by the way. There wasn't any signal for t-mobile, didn't really used my phone until we got up to the observatory which had free wifi and cleaner bathroom that has toilet seat covers. Purchased a pin (See pic). Would come back again, it was about a two hour trip to get there.

Here are some info based on days that I camped, July 14th - July 17th, at campsite #29…read more Cons ~ - 3 of 4 showers not working (these showers and toilets are the only running plumbing facilities on the campgrounds. The other toilets are dry toilets). - 1 of 4 toilets not working - overgrown weeds at some campsites - firewood not sold at this campground (general store has some for $6.99) Pros ~ - surrounded by nature at it's best - site #29 had great shade, sun too depending the time of day. - site #29 a couple of trees good for a hammock - spigots throughout the campsites - hiking trail to the observatory - reasonable camping fee - paved road and parking pad - general/gift store not far away - vegetarian restaurant next door to the general store - Palomar Observatory nearby (hours 9am-3:30pm) Don't forget to bring: Bug spray, citronella candles, a binocular, telescope and a hat that has material that covers your neck and ears. The hat is for the summer days to protect from the sun rays and gnats and mosquitos. Remedies for poison oak. Things to keep yourself and the kids entertained, for this campground solely offers hiking trails and natures beauty for you to enjoy. Lastly, a positive attitude. You are in the middle of nature and it's elements. My experience: Campsite #29 I came here based on a friend who did a solo camp here and suggested it to be a good place. She came during spring break so water filled the creek as to when I camped, some creeks were dried out or you could hear or see a trickle. It was hot, so flying bugs such as gnats and mosquitoes were present and sometimes they would disappear for a period. Bring your bug spray, candle and hat. The camp host even had a bug zapper paddle, too funny! Because I arrived on a Sunday, late afternoon the campsite was quiet. I'd say maybe 5-6 campsites were in use. So it was quiet. There were two trees at my campsite perfect to set up my hammock. The Oak tree has a large base so I would bring a total of 3 straps to use for one hammock. I had my changing/shower tent. I used it as both this time since I wasn't pleased with the looks of the shower. Plus the camp host told me that the showers (coin op) were thrashed from the July 4th crowd. Parts were broken, and repair orders were still waiting to done. On a hike with some of my friends and their dogs we did encounter a baby snake. We're assuming in was non venomous as we looked from a distance. It was hard to determine because it was on top of leaves. Just below my campsite, a slight slope, there is a creek. You could hear the water trickling. You had to peer through the trees and shrubs to actually see it. I didn't not attempt to go down the slope, looked very tricky. This is were my night visitor greeted me one evening as I lay on my cot looking up at the stars. I sat up and turned on my headlamp to see a raccoon. I got up and it backed away slowly. I peeked down towards the creek and I saw a baby follow behind. So the water will attract critters. So these are some of the important things I thought I should mention. I would love to come back and experience a campground full of campers, Happy Campers that is, but I did enjoy the quiet very, very much. Enjoy!

This review is specific to the group campsite…read more Full disclosure: I am not an avid camper nor do I like the idea of camping in nature whatsoever. So this review is from someone who actually doesn't like camping and won't go willingly. Group site camping was something I was willing to try, given that it's ideal for families and a group site is contained a little better than individual sites. The group site has several tables under a overhang area and there's a nice spread for laying out meals. can accommodate 50 people, unfortunately kids count within that number so the downside is that you do have to be mindful of how many people are in your party. I think the group site could have easily housed 50 adults and 30 kids under the age of 13. There are bathrooms and showers on site to the group site, tokens need to be purchased at the entrance, it's $1 for 2 tokens, and 1 token is 2 minutes of water. One of the families in our group was smart to take a shower as a family before leaving and they didn't need to use as many tokens as they thought they needed. Bathrooms were fairly clean, bring your own soap. I highly recommend the travel soap sheets to throw in your pocket which will dissolve to soap with water. I did find that there were a ton of flies in the picnic area, so remember to cover your food because it'll be annoying. There's a water spigot in the picnic area so you'll be set to boil your water. There are nearby trails that are Kid friendly on this site, which was fun for everyone. Julian was 18 minutes north of this site and it was a nice place to stop by for an apple pie. I would camp here again but only in a group setting. I still stand by not being a camper willingly, at the end I just wanted to leave but it had nothing to do with the actual site. I can see avid campers enjoying this site

This was my first time staying at this campground and I really enjoyed my stay! The weather was…read moregreat, the views were beautiful, and everyone at the campground was courteous. I wanted to share some info. I would've found helpful when researching this campground. *The campground is relatively close to Cuyamaca Lake (about 10 mins away) and Julian (about 20 mins away). *Water spigots are scattered throughout the campground at random campsites. The downsides (in my opinion): *Some of the campsites are on a slope so you have to choose wisely. (Campsites 1-19 seemed flatter than most sites) *The restrooms were also not as tidy as I was expecting but they got the job done. BRING YOUR OWN HAND SOAP. *The showers work on a coin system. This means you use dollar bills to get change in the form of campground tokens (NOT QUARTERS) which you use to shower. The change machine is located outside the restrooms.

We LOVED our recent visit to this beach. The temperature was low that day and there was a breeze,…read morebut for some odd reason it was warm and even the water wasn't as freezing as it normally is. The kids had fun looking for sand piggies, shells and sand dollars while wading in the shore and playing in the sand. I took a long walk from the beach side to the marina side where they had a little jetty you could walk out on and I was able to do my son's senior pictures. The restrooms were decent and clean, lots of stalls, space with nice toilets (not those stainless steel ones at city parks) plus showers with hot water! There is also grass hut looking gazebos, a laundry facility and a playground on the beach. My only complaint would be there was a lot of trash on the beach including glass bottles and while my kids were digging, they uncovered a bunch of beer cans! Send out the junior marines to police the area.

Definitely recommend getting a beachfront view cottage. It was nice to explore camp Pendleton and visit local eateries in Oceanside on the marina. The cottages were one bedroom and one kitchenette in a small living space. The kitchen was equipped with dishes enough for four people. The only thing that I did not enjoy, is that no matter how much you clean there will be sand everywhere considering you are right on the beach. You can say that this might be glamping on the beach. We stayed one night in a marina view cottage and was able to watch some military training early in the morning. The next two nights we stayed in the beachfront cottage and woke up to the view of the beautiful beach. The beach is very clean with soft sand. It was hard to believe California had such soft sand that you would normally find on Hawaii.

We stayed at the Cowboy Glamping Tent, which was very spacious and clean. One thing to note is we had seen some pics on Hip Camp that showed the tent had a large fridge, which we planned on using, but when we arrived there was no fridge on site so we had to do a few ice runs for our cooler. The campground is conveniently located that we could do quick runs for necessities if needed. The bathroom was easily accessible and again, very clean. Overall, it was a very relaxing 2-night stay and we'd definitely come back. We used the pool, fire pits, and although we didn't use it, there is a nice game room that has a pool table, air hockey, and foosball.
