Lake Cuyamaca — Attraction in San Diego Country Estates

Visited Lake Cuyamaca Halloween weekend. I must say my gf and I had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. We camped at the Lone Pine Campground. The facilities were super nice/clean. The actual camping spots are on the smaller side and your neighbors are literally right next to you. But still very nice. The views are incredible looking south. The hiking was really enjoyable. It was our favorite part of the trip actually. The downfalls of camping at the lone pine is that you’re really close to the hwy. lots of road noise late at night and early morning. But still not too big a deal. If you’re into fishing I would not camp here. On the website they say this campground has the best fishing lol… which was incorrect for the 3 days I stayed. Not one person caught anything from the Lone Pine Shoreline. The lake is literally 500’ from the campsites which is awesome. But the shoreline is super rocky. I tried every trick in my book to make a catch with NO luck. I wouldn’t say I’m a expert fisherman but I am no rookie. If you’re into fishing I would recommend the Chambers campground. The shoreline is less rocky and there was a couple people that had caught some trout and seemed to be where most people fished from on the shore and boats. The Chambers campground also has lots of picnic benches and large grass area. I would say this area is better if you have kids and pets. The restaurant and tackle shop is nice as well. The restaurant is nothing special but has great views of the lake and you can grab a cold beer and relax. The tackle shop has anything you would need for fishing if you left something at home. I definitely plan on going again. I hope this...

Been here a few times, stayed in the condo in Chambers park once. The fishing fees should be waived if your staying on the lake, that would be nice. The lady at front desk has an attitude she snaps, we snapped back at her. Seems it's just her personality though no hurt feelings just catches you off guard! Condo was real nice with wood fireplace, perfect location on lake, water was out for 8 hours sucked but it happens. Beds upstairs in loft not comfortable, bunk beds were plush! Could not figure out couch bed but didn't need it, couch was not comfortable and barely fit 4. Could use more blankets but heater worked awesome. They had plenty of bathing towels. Fridge is a little bigger than a mini we could have brought more food. Fishing hit or miss, we have caught before but this trip we didn't, weather was windy/ rainy. They have frogs!!! And they built a little playground. The stars at night were gorgeous and Julian was 15 min away. We had a great time for the 3day stay. Saw deer, turkeys, eagles, hawks, Frogs, Fish, pretty birds. Hiking is good in and around. Bring your DVDs or watch some channels. Recommend staying on the lake just be prepared. The prices are high which is expected out there...

Very nice lake with beautiful scenery. Went for a dip in the water on my state of the art water craft, the personal inner-tube. While I was enjoying a leisurely float, my balls also enjoyed a dip into the water and promptly shrank up to microsize. The staff member came around, astonished that anyone would dare dunk their member and sidekicks into his lake and ordered me out immediately. He informed me that since the lake was used as a reservoir, human contact with the water (swimming) was not allowed. He then informed me that I likely reached such a foolish decision due to the two beers and cigar he saw me enjoying in the parking lot earlier. I was shocked to find out that anyone would drink water from this reservoir as the water could best be described as a dirty baby diaper brown color. The scent wafting across the rolling waves reminded me of my fish tank that went months without cleaning. Nonetheless, I exited. If your water is sourced from this aqueous establishment, and you taste a tinge of salty bitterness in the coming weeks, I apologize, for I knew not the consequences of my (and my...
