About This Campsite
Paso Picacho Campground
If you're seeking a retreat into the woods just an hour away from San Diego, Paso Picacho Campground offers a rejuvenating escape with a striking elevation of 5,000 feet that provides a refreshing change in scenery and climate. This lush, tree-filled campground provides a relaxing environment ideal for hammocking, trekking, and enjoying the great outdoors.
Facilities here are noted for their cleanliness, featuring well-maintained restrooms. However, be prepared for varying conditions as some spots are on uneven terrains or hillsides, making it crucial to check camping site sizes if you plan on bringing a trailer.
Key Tips:
- Cold weather is prevalent, especially at night, so pack accordingly.
- Facilities do not accept card payments, so carry cash for purchases like ice or firewood.
- There are additional charges for a second vehicle that may not be clearly indicated at booking, so be prepared for extra fees.
- Bring your shower tokens for a hot but short shower experience.
Overall Thoughts: While Paso Picacho Campground boasts a serene setting with plenty of hiking trails and natural beauty, some practical considerations such as parking limitations and charges, the need for better shower maintenance, and the occasional busy weekend crowd should be kept in mind. However, for nature enthusiasts looking to take in forested views and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s a worthwhile spot to enjoy a camping adventure.

Great spot to get away, only an hour from San Diego, but you feel like you are someplace else. You are up at 5,000 feet, and it does get cold at night. It had snowed up there just a week before we went camping. The trails are great. Check out campsite sizes ahead of time to make sure your trailer fits. The restrooms were clean. They have a dump station on the way out.

The campsite is super clean. Cleanest bathroom I've seen at a camp site. That's my number one pet peave. There's so many trees I can hang my hammock and very shady everywhere. We stayed at camp site P36

This was our first time , super busy on the weekend but by Sunday afternoon the campgrounds emptied out. Loads of tress and trails for hiking. No RV hook ups, but there is a dump station for $10.

This is a gorgeous campground with clean bathrooms, wonderful access to hiking trails very close and large campsites that are generally flat. With that being said, things to consider - They’ve got an ice building however do not take credit card/debit card bring cash. - They also charge $10.00 for an extra car which isn’t disclosed upon reservation. It says, you’re allowed up to two cars but when you get there they’ll in a predatory way, charge you $10.00 for that second vehicle. That’s really not cool.

I love camping and this is a decent camp ground area but lacks decent additional parking(it has overflow parking but a small area and limited to how many in your group can use it) and lacks water within walking distance to the park. Green Valley Falls is a much better choice. Paso Picacho has hot showers that you can buy tokens for (1 token For 2 min shower, 2(or 4?) tokens for $1). The showers are not well maintained most with no lighting for night use or much water pressure. The showers for disability access have both lights and higher pressure but the stalls don't seem to get cleaned too often, so make sure you bring sandals. Ice and firewood are avail for purchase during daytime hours. Many sites are on uneven ground or a hillside so plan appropriately. Not much room for large camper vehicles. Has a nice hiking trail across the highway from the campsite (see pictures) that takes an average 45 to hike up to the top only about 600' Elevation gain.
