Sweetwater County Park — Hotel in La Presa

The just common thing I hear about this campground is, "I had no idea this place existed!!" It's a hidden treasure.

We were gone during the days so not sure if there was a difference but seemed better in mornings before we left for day.

During the prime camping season it can be crowded. Nice trails nearby and a view and breeze on the bluffs. I believe most spots are level and pretty easy to maneuver around. Vegetation is nice with shade. Picnic tables and fire rings at each spot. Near a golf course. Near most San Diego attractions. Low cost less than...
