One of my favorite swap meets to visit on the weekends! Parking is plentiful, but it definitely gets packed during peak hours, so be prepared to drive around a bit before finding a spot. Admission is very affordable--only $1 per person (I remember when it used to be about fifty cents They're typically open early morning and close around 2 PM on weekends, and they're only open on Saturdays & Sundays. What I love most about this place is the variety. There are rows and rows of vendors selling just about everything you can imagine. From fruit trees and fresh produce to yard sale treasures, mattresses, furniture, and even brand-new items it's like a giant treasure hunt. If you enjoy browsing and negotiating, many vendors are open to bargaining on prices. There are also plenty of food and drink stands if you need a snack while walking around. The restrooms are available and surprisingly clean and well stocked. Overall, it's a great place to shop, explore, and definitely get your steps in because there's so much to see. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy swap meets or bargain hunting. read more

Spring Valley Swap Meet, you deserve my 5 stars!! Why. you ask?! From my many visits to Spring Valley Swap Meet, I can see you guys got it all under control, from directing traffic because it looks like a mess but you got this, the staff clears the foot and car traffic real quick. The parking gets very crowded but be patient, you will find a stall, after we parked our rental car, I was worried about how I would make it across safely without getting hit, but we made it across thanks to the attendant for directing traffic like junior JPO's. What can you do with $1. FREE parking- admission to the Spring Valley Swap Meet, the greatest deal ever!! Get a stamp if you need to re-enter. This Spring Valley Swap Meet is SUPER HUGE and is outdoors located in Spring Valley, of course. They operate only on Saturday and Sundays from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm, wide variety of vendors selling everything from antiques, vintage items, to clothes, electronics, furniture, mortuary plots ( I saw 2 different business offering this) household goods, plants, and local produce. There are food vendors, bar for alcohol near entrance, and entertainment too! I enjoy coming out here to the swap meet, we try to squeeze it in despite so much to do but so little time. I just love to look at and shop for plants and also get the cheap, colorful fruits for the hubby! I like to browse and at the same time get our steps in. What did I get during this recent to Spring Valley, some new with tag storage, household items from Target, Toys for my friend's daughter, and fruits! The fruits are so cheap, strawberry for $2. a pack or 3/$5., cherries $2. lb. even avocados! I wish prices are this low back on Oahu. Every time I see the chayote fruit, its Mexican kine with pokey thorns, gives me chicken skin, how would you remove the skin without getting hurt? Although the swap meet is outdoors, I can imagine the heat during the Summer, we normally visit during the Fall/Spring time so the weather is much cooler. It does get hot towards the afternoon but we are out of there by then. This swap meet is huge so we normally don't go around the entire place, we give ourselves a time limit of one hour, quick stop in and go! I look forward to visiting Spring Valley SM again! read more

I only come here to buy back the stuff that was stolen from me. That part works fine. The traffic, however, is a disaster. The traffic controllers seem to be guessing instead of directing. Cars pile up, people get frustrated, and nothing moves the way it should. If chaos was the goal, mission accomplished. Otherwise, someone needs a new plan. read more

Stopped by the Spring Valley Swap Meet today to check out the deals and honestly, there are so many. Stuff here is cheap cheap. I picked up items for as low as $1, including a big pack of dog toys for $5 that retails for around $75. It's worth walking every aisle because you never know what you'll find. Definitely a fun thing to do on a Sunday if you're bored or just want to get out of the house. I'll for sure be back next week to check it out again. Heads up though: parking is horrible and they do charge $1 to get in. Also bring an umbrella if it's hot unless you want to get cooked out there. read more

Spring Valley Swap Meet - They have carnival food too . - Flea Markets Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Basically a pop up Tijuana. No need to head South because Baja has come to you. Traffic is horrible. I actually saw one goof ball directing traffic with his foot because he had a drink in one hand and a churro in the other. Its fun to go every five years or so but the smell of grease, cheap after shave, body odor and ear shattering Ranchero music at 9 am can be challenging. I'd avoid the food vendors next to the birds in the poop encrusted cages. Theres the odd practice of admitting shoppers BEFORE vendors so you're dodging cars and no one is set up. Very strangly run and clearly surviving on sheer volume. read more

Have $1 and some free time on a Saturday or Sunday before 3pm, come on down to Spring Valley... I know I know but you won't be disappointed! We love coming here when we are looking for something specific or to take family. We have our favorite agua frescas and my hubby has his favorite tshirt place when he is looking to get a few more to add to his collection, especially during summer. Some have tags and some just have a few defects but for $5, ant beat that. I also get my tank tops here, 3 for $10! Can't beat that. From garage sale type items to brand new item stores, plants, food and more this is a one stop shop. They do have a bar all the way in the back and you CANNOT walk around with liquor at this location like you can at Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet. Every seller we have dealt with has been super nice and accommodating, quick and efficient when paying. Some accept card but mostly cash is accepted. Recently we watched a salsa dealer selling those machines you can buy on TV for 50% off and he was a goooood seller, offer free items even if you didnt buy a unit. I call it a salsa maker because you throw everything in give it a whirl and bam precisely cut salsa! We bought one and i use it EVERY week to make fresh salsa for a fraction of what you can buy pints of salsa in the store. Come give this place a shot if you are looking for something to do on a weekend. We love coming here over Kobes. read more

Spring Valley Swap Meet - The best juice place at the meet!! - Flea Markets Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This is my favorite swap meet because of the nachos. I have been coming since I was a child but now I don't have time to come. I recently came and it went from 50 cents a person to $1 so that's still pretty good since it's been over a decade! It says no dogs allowed but I see a lot of ppl with dogs that are not service animals in there so not sure if the policy is strict or not; some were in strollers but some just walking normally as they were bigger dogs. I am okay with them there as I have two dogs, just again it says no dogs. It did get hot there and not really any shade available so being hat or you will but then there. Also another reason I wouldn't bring my dogs. They have good deals of course and so many lafufus as are up with the trend. Lots of parking. read more

Woooooooord up!!! Use to buy cassette tapes and records at this place. My records were stolen by my old best friend and he pawned them for some sku. Other than that.....Love it! read more

Don't get here early as half the spots are not set up yet, otherwise it's the better swap meet in the area.

I love the spring valley swap meet! It is $1 per person, kids under 12 are free. BRING CASH! The vendors are fair, and there's always a ton of products being offered (we came for the plants). The food vendors here are delicious too, we tried the Birria truck and it was amazing. There's a rumor there are some not to be missed nachos here too. read more

Spring Valley Swap Meet - Flea Markets Near Me - Spring Valley, California

One of my favorite swamp meet. They have so much parking but it does get packed! Some times you have to drive around until you find a parking spot. The admittance fee is $1 per person. It used to cost .50 cent I believe they are open around 9am-10am and closes around 2ish on weekends. They are only open on Saturday and Sundays. This place have so much stuff here! They have plenty of food & drink stands. Whatever you want to buy, they will most likely sale it here. From fruit trees, fresh fruits to yard sale items and mattresses/furnitures. They have new items for sale too! Rolls and rolls of things to see. Most will work with your negotiating prices too. I would highly recommend this place to go shopping or get your steps in. There's so much to see! They have restroom too, it's pretty clean and stocked. Bring cash! I'm sure some vendors accept cards. read more

Sunday shopping with great food at the swap. $1 for entry and most of the shop owners will let you haggle them for a good price. You can find almost anything here read more

At the Spring Valley swap meet you can get discounted home goods, plants, perfume, and tools. There are hundreds of vendors, and they're open 7am-3pm on the weekends. It costs one dollar (cash only) for admission, and there is no re entry allowed. Signs posted in front say no dogs allowed, but there were at least 15 dogs we saw inside, so it's not enforced. There is an atm on site but the fee is $3.75 to use the atm. A few vendors do accept Venmo or card but most do not- so to be on the safe side it is good to carry cash. Also, unfortunately many food vendors have signs stating that they take card but after waiting in line you'll find out that the card reader is broken. I've noticed lots of vendors are reselling items from Costco at a lower price than the original cost. I didn't find any hidden gems today, but like with any swap meet it depends on the day and time you go! I will say though that there are always great plants for indoors and outdoors. read more

Awesome swap meet lots of vendors. Too much to see. But lots of great things And only 1$ entry! Only thing is finding parking is very difficult! So many people. read more

Great place for newer items as compared to Vintage items The value was minimum of greater than 50% off

INTERESTING PLACE. It's a smash up of a swap meet, farmers market, and mini street food fair. Two things I heard why to come here: buy cheap bundles of socks and buy bomb ass nachos. After yrs of living in SD it was time to drive south east to see what this was about. DO NOT COME HERE HIGH NOON. It's mid July and it's hot af. I came here at 10:30 and it was still hot and by the time it was time to eat it's about noon. Come, earlier. Like 8am early - nobody judging you. Expect, a lot of walking. Honestly, I felt like I was in Mexico at some outdoor shopping area minus people coming up to you trying to sell stuff - It did not feel like I was in San Diego though. Endless rows of endless stuff. So many cheap offerings - toys, clothes, shoes, median snacks, vegetables, fruits, SOCKS, and more socks, and more socks, and food. I didn't need anything but came here for the nachos. NACHOS ARE OVERRATED. Ok. I've had way better. The nachos were just ok. And it's not $7, it's now $9. They had two choices: shredded beef or carne asada. I ordered the shredded beef but was given carne asada because ... they couldn't tell me why I couldn't get shredded beef. Was it out? Was it not yet ready? Idk. So I was obligated to settle for carne asada. I ordered a small and the proportion was very generous - good ratio of everything. The pico de gala was outstanding on the nachos. But the carne asada didn't do it for me. Also the queso made my chips soggy real quick and noticed that the bottom of the paper plate was just a pool of queso. I like queso but it needs queso control... maybe a little less queso and more Pico de gala so the chips can stay crunchy. I was worried I'd need to rush to the restroom so I didn't finish eating my nachos and felt I was super wasteful. STRAWBERRY AQUA FRESCA. Ordered at the same place as the nachos. This was SO good! Refreshing. Not in a rush to come back at all but if I ever come here it would be for vegetables or Mexican snacks. Not even for socks or nachos. Until the next review... read more

Great Swap Meet with plenty of junk to buy. The thing like most about this swap meet is the Cantina just inside the west Entrence. They have all kinds of food and great cheap beers and drinks. Staff seems really nice and friendly. Plenty of seats to chill out and get out of the sun. They usually have load music playing, but it's reggae and if feels like I'm on vacation. read more

Love this swap meet, it is huge! So many vendors and can find everything. The food spots are great and full of flavor.

A very fun time. I usually go to the Kobe Swap Meet in San Diego but a friend told us to try this one, and we are so glad we did. What I really really like are the clean restrooms with flush toilets. Wow!! We arrived at 8:00, plenty of parking, $1 entrance, nicely organized, with a safe and comfortable feel. The used garage sale area was bustling with lots of people, both selling and shopping. The new merchandise area was much less crowded. It felt like a little trip down into Mexico with all the Mexican vendors, clothes, shoes, kitchen ware and food. My favorite was the produce stand located in the center. I loaded up on mandarin tangerines, mangoes, peaches, plums and fresh roasted peanuts. Everyone was very nice and friendly, a great way to spend a weekend morning. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Calling all bargain​ hunters! If you're that type of person who likes to bargain to the rock-bottom​ prices, this is the place! I have been coming to this swap meet since I was in elementary​ school grade and it still has the same vibe. You can find what you're looking for or stuff that you don't need. However, you'll buy it anyway​ because the price is so cheap! One of my fave stop is the Winnie Queen, a food stand in the middle of the swap meet that sells Mexican food. You must buy the super nacho, it can feed 2-3 people. It's that good! The swap meet is an ​awesome place to walk around because of the best weather of being in San Diego! And of course the bargains​. read more

Review based off a seller's experience. My boyfriend and I sold used goods here in 2013 and this past Sunday in 2017. Line your car up around 4 AM to be somewhat towards the front of the line. Take a nap and wake up around 6 AM to find a form on your windshield that you're required to fill out (name, address, items for sale, quantity, etc). Swap meet opens at 7 AM - BOTH sellers and buyers are allowed in at the same time so expect chaos. Pay $20 cash to enter. You may have to wait a few more times in different lines while in your car (other cars coming in will try to cut you in line), then told where to find your selling spot. This is when buyers follow your vehicle and IMPATIENTLY wait for you to unload your items. Good luck setting anything up nicely at this point!! From our experiences, all our clothes that were neatly separated into male/female/sizes/long sleeves/short sleeves were jumbled into one huge, unappealing pile. The moment you park is probably when you'll make the most sales. This year, 2 guys immediately approached our truck asking if we had men's shoes which my boyfriend had a trash bag full of. They both tried grabbing it out of his hands! One guy got lucky and snatched all the pairs before the other guy could grab it. Instant sale in 5 mins! A lucky lady had first dibs on all my BF's T shirts and pants. She asked if she'd get a nice deal for purchasing over 40 items, in which she did! We kept trying to keep our items organized on a tarp, but it didn't help when customers mix everything together when browsing. It would be helpful to have clothes displayed on hangers, tables, or separated in boxes. We came here in 2013 with family members in 2 separate vehicles. We were not able to be next to each other, so not sure if things have changed with having 2 vehicles since then. It was hectic, but we made a pretty decent profit off our used men's/women's clothing and other various used items. This time around was just as hectic, but less profitable. Almost everyone bargained our already low prices, whereas people accepted our cheap prices before. I gave someone a FANTASTIC deal: 2 items (sports bras, bikini tops, and shorts in great condition) for $1. She chose 8 items, so I asked her to pay $4. She asked if she can have it for $3. I accepted and she paid me in quarters. Moral of the story: Don't expect to get rid of all your inventory for a high price tag and sell items that you can easily let go of! We were pretty tired and over it at 11:30 AM. Getting OUT of the swap meet is a challenge since there are tons of people walking everywhere! My BF had to walk in front of our truck and have people move out of our way as he guided us towards the exit. Other cars just honked for people to move. *TIP: Bring as many people as you can fit in your car!! In 2013, my BF and I intended to be parked next to our family, but that didn't work out so it was just us 2 selling our stuff. I remember him wanting to use the restroom, but I didn't want him to leave me alone with all the craziness! This year, there were 4 of us which was so much more helpful! It helps to have extra hands and eyes. *TIP: Men's shoes were a hot item. Men's clothing in general sold faster! My BF's name brand hats in great condition were popular, but a lot of guys thought $4 each was too much. He eventually sold the remainder for $2 each towards the end. *TIP: Bring chairs, tent/umbrella for shade, snacks and drinks! Overall, I don't see myself going out of my way again to do this. Too far, too early, too much time to make too little money. I'm glad I got rid of MOST of the stuff I didn't use anymore, though! The rest of the items have already been donated. If you're local or have tonnnnnnnsssssss of items that you are willing to part with for super cheap, then this is the place to go! read more

I always went here with my dad when I was little and into my 20's. When I moved back to San Diego I remember the last time I went with him before he became ill. It has many memories for me. My dad loved collecting tools, old clocks and valuables. This was always the place to find these items Fast forward 15 years and it's still the place to find unique gadgets, plants, accessories and just about anything you desire. They even have a beer gardens in the back with music blaring. The old hitch post is still there. Gone are all the horses people would ride up with. Believe it or not, they make some mean nachos! You will see people eating them around every corner. It gets pretty crowded so plan on parking and walking. Hopefully you will find that diamond in the rough. read more

I have been coming here with my parents for over 15 years now and I still love going. The price to get in has gone up, but it still isn't bad in comparison to how much I spend when I go inside. You can find all sorts of stuff here and it's fun just to look around. I love buying fruit and veggies from here because of how cheap it is. Even if you don't think you're going to buy much, bring a bag to carry stuff in. Normally I go with a backpack or a reusable bag. This is the best swap meet in San Diego, there's no denying it. A visit every time I'm in town is ALWAYS A MUST! Also, try the mangoneada by the main entrance. Because it's amazing. read more

30+ years later and nothing has changed. It's the oldest and largest swap meet in San Diego. Best to go when you first moved into a new residence and need to stock up on cleaning, household supplies, appliances, etc. Or when you are looking for a specific item and want a bargain. The website has an aerial map view of the parking and entrances. I describe the swap meet in a "U" shape. With the bottom half being second-hand vendors and the upper half with new vendors. The map circled 3 entrances (Bottom U and the top corners of the U). However, there are more entrances not circled which are 2 more in between the upper U. Which is why parking in that lot is convenient. Directions: Follow GPS or view directions on their website to exit Paradise Valley Rd. However, coming from North County heading South on 125, I like to exit Jamacha Blvd, make a left on Elkelton Blvd, follow the curve to the left onto Quarry Rd and you are instantly in the lot. Parking (Free): -There are staff patrols to direct all way traffic -Arriving on Quarry Rd, the first right that you see will take you into a dirt lot. (Before the traffic guy). I usually avoid this because you'll need a car wash afterwards. -There is an opening to the left where the traffic guy stands. I wouldn't recommend this lot either because it's the closest to one of the swap meet gate and gets filled up quick. -We kept going and turned into the next lot on the left which was already getting full and we were 4th to the last row at 9am. Hours: 7am-3pm Saturdays and Sundays. With all my past attendance histories, 8am is the sweet time to arrive when people are mostly set up and you find the best pre-owned treasures. We arrived at 9am and as it got later, it got more crowded. Cost: $1 per person. Cash only. Children under 12 are free. Many people bring small pets but make sure they are leashed. I wouldn't recommend that it's suitable for pets due to the heat and crowd. You can leave and re-enter with a hand stamp. Vendors: Rows and rows of vendors. Over 200 vendors if each spot is filled up. There are numbers at each end of the rows and on the trees. -Households - shampoo, detergent, soap, it's cheaper here than discount stores like Big Lots because there's no tax. Diapers, toilet paper. It's like Dollar Tree but not all cost $1. -Socks/Boxers - One year we got men boxers and they end up shrinking 2 sizes and I ended up wearing it as pjs. Socks are okay. -Fruits - Many fruits not produce -Clothing - I shopped here a lot as a teenager. Some vendors don't have dressing rooms. Other items I've got recently were Hawaiian dresses for a themed party. A few vendors dump piles of screen Tees like Lucky brand, Billabong, etc for less than $10. You can find used mechanic clothing like Dickies brand for $2 in great condition. - Shoes - Name brand such as Nike, Adidas, Vans -Blankets/sheets/bedding -Furniture - Bedrooms sets, mattresses, dining tables -Car stereo/electronics/speakers - I've bought several car stereos here in the past. I saw Ariana Granda wireless headphones by Brookstone, new in box for $40 when I got them for $100 for my nieces 2 Christmas agos. -Plants/Flowers - Many Farmer Market type flowers and vendors that sell potted plants and succulents. I got a bouquet of 6 pink roses mixed with carnations $10. -Appliances - You'll be overwhelmed with kitchen appliances like blenders, toasters, ovens, space heaters ($10). Instapots for $60. Restaurant depot large cookwares. -Accessories - wigs, hair accessories, jewelry -Antiques/Crafts - Weaving, knitting -Tools - Craftsmen brand tools. Anything for the car or garden can be found here. -Snacks/pantry - Cereals, nuts, protein shakes, canned items -Used second-hand vendors sell just about anything. You'll need patience with ability to bend down to go through the piles. This area is extremely crowded located at the bottom of the "U". Food: -Food trucks are scattered but you can find them at the end of each aisle or corner. -The middle aisle has ice cream carts and hot dogs Beer Garden: -Sports bar located at the bottom half of the "U" next to one of the entrance near the second-hand vendors. -Accepts credit cards -Food truck is in front. -The tables and chairs can be dirty, different height chairs, and lop sided. Restrooms: -It's located near the front between aisle 5 and 7 underneath the "SWAP MEET" sign. Look up above the canopies and follow the sign. Can't miss it. -Restrooms are not well cleaned. Bring toilet paper in case they run out. They do, however, offer toilet seat covers. Sometimes it won't flush. -There are 3 porty potties in the sports bar area but they have locks on them. TIPS: -Bring cash -Bring a wagon/cart. You can buy a cart there for $24. -Bring water/liquids to stay hydrated. They do not search your bags. -This place gets freakin' hot especially in the summer. There's no shade so bring a hat. Or Advil for those headaches. read more

Whenever we come to the coast, we always plan a morning to come here and walk the rows looking for bargains. Parking can be a little crazy at times, but we always take the first right and park way out back toward the grassy hills. Thankfully, there are workers directing the traffic flow. We love the commercial booths for socks, phone supplies, hair clips, and gift options for friends and family. One of our favorite vendors has a great selection of Mexican candies. As you make your way through the rows you can see the two sides of the swap meet. It starts out commercial and eventually becomes everyday folks who pulled in to sell their personal belongings - clothes, books, toys, and collectibles. We always seem to find several items. As far as swap meets go this one is decent and the people are friendly. Love that there was a man playing his guitar in one of the many food areas. Thankfully these are shaded because it can be quite hot here depending on the season. Next time you find yourself in the area on a weekend, give it a shot. There is something here for everyone. read more

I have been going to this swap meet for as long as I can remember. My relatives live down the street from it.

There are tons of sellers that have everything from clothes to appliances and even plants. The food here is also top notch including there beverage items.

Spring Valley Swap Meet - Nachos and a tamarindo drink - Flea Markets Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Since my first review of SVSM was for selling items here, I figured it's more than about time to write a review on the flipside for being a shopper. SVSM is pretty popular. If you don't show up at opening, you run the risk of waiting in traffic to enter the area and get parking on a dirt lot. But, once in, it's smooth sailing. At least, until you want to leave. Entry into the swap meet is a buck. $1. Super cheap. Half of the market appears to be dedicated to folks selling off their used stuff. If you have a lot of patience, you can find some really cool goods. My cousin once made off with an entire Beetles record collection. Another cousin found an old Atari system that still worked, with games. I've picked up some garden pots in great condition for a handful of dollars. Though a lot of it is junk, it's still cool to take a look and see what everyone has. As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. The other half of the swap meet consists of brand new goods. You can find cheap garden plants, pottery, toys, shoes, clothing and fashion accessories. There's also a good number of food vendors, as well. My parents like shopping here when it's time to fill up our balikbayan boxes for the Philippines. We typically buy new clothes like shirts, jeans, underwear and socks for family back in the Motherland. Great deals galore, especially when you buy in bulk. It doesn't hurt to haggle a bit, too. All in good fun. I like coming here for the nachos and hot dogs. I also love getting churros for dessert. I've yet to have any explosive poop issues from having a bite here, so I'll happily continue eating here. One thing I would like to point out: Please DO NOT buy the puppies sold outside of the swap meet. You'll just encourage more irresponsible dog breeding.There are plenty of dogs and puppies at shelters that need loving homes. Other than that, always bring cash, especially have small bills on hand. If it's hot, an umbrella comes in handy. Yes, parking is crap and the place is dirty and dusty. But, it is a swap meet, not farmers market. read more

It's a swap meet - super crowded in the "my trash is another treasure" area. Totally dog (pet) friendly even though signs say no - you see all kinds of dog breeds "bringing" their owners. I do highly recommend the fresh juice spot in the middle of the swap meet- they have some others towards the front areas but not as good as the middle juice spot. Delicious!! We honestly just go to swap meet for the juice and a nice walk - oh and to look at the various dog breeds strolling around. There are good days when we score great finds. Swap meet isn't as cheap as it used to be. Lots of Costco stuff. Enjoy the walk and fresh juice! Of course - there's the nachos - didn't really want to mention that because everyone should know about the swap meet mega nachos. read more

We were visiting from outta town, wanted to walk around somewhere. This swap meet/flea market reminded of how phoenix swap meet used to be in the 90's. Mix of new and used stuff.

Very packed- Good way to get some steps in even if you don't buy anything. read more
