Paso Picacho Campground

This was my first time camping here. I love it. It's beautiful, the campsites are spread apart, and there's camp hosts and restrooms plentiful. You're very close to Lake cuyamaca and about 15 min from julian downtown. I will definitely be back here.

New family go to for local camping. Dry campground make sure you bring plenty of water for hydration and for sanitation there are showers that use tokens. The water pipes are still under repair and some sight areas. Always call ahead of time to see if fires are allowed or not. Bring your own power source for an electronics. We love it.

Nice campground. Stayed at sites 46 +49, nice adjoining sites. Facilities are good and well maintained. Showers are 2 min/token, 2 tokens/$1, with a machine outside the showers. Camp fires were allowed while we were there but was told they do ban them based on conditions. Many of the sites toward the back of the campground had steep slopes so be aware. It was VERY buggy, repllent is a must. Squirrels were aggressive and plentiful. State parks employees rounded frequently and enforced rules. We had a great time and will return.

Its a great campground... shhhh don't tell.
Easy to get to. Access to Cuyamaca climb and trails. Stone hill is here.
Facilities are nice and it's a big place with good space between camp sites. 🏕
Again shhhhhhh
