Dos Picos County Park

"It's a pretty little campground, and the rangers keep it tidy, but we had no cell data coverage at all (AT&T) and the airport noise from Ramona ruined the peace and quiet."

"Our first camping trip as a family and we enjoyed ourselves. Did not know there would be the usual convenience, including electrical outlet. Bring your extension cords. Most everybody had a webber electric grill. If you want to get to the pond/lake, you can hike .6 miles trail over the hills and get the rewards of the views. Otherwise, you take the easier route and make a bee line for the playground adjacency to the main entrance to get to the water. Very friendly campground as if being in nature makes everybody a little nicer or nice people camp, whichever it was a fantastic experience. Bring cash for firewood, and don't forget the marshmallows roasting supplies."

"Site #30 This campground was an awesome campground from beginning to end. The guard shack that’s in the middle of the entry to get into The campground appears to not be used. You actually check in at the office to the right of guard shack. They only appear to store their ranger trucks near the guard shack, so go into the lane on the right when you’re entering the park. Check-in was quick and easy. There are signs in the park that direct you to where to go to get to your site as well as they give you a map when you check in. The Site was not level (which isn’t a problem) just mentioning it so that you know you’re going to have to have things with you to level your rig. Our site was covered with chalk from overly creative previous campers. Otherwise is was clean. This is a beautiful park with lots of trees and shrubbery. Saturday night was busy and slightly loud but quieted down by midnight. Sunday morning most of the campers packed up and left. The line for the dump is long and slow moving. Blocking sites in its path from 10:30 am to after 12:00 pm. So keep that in mind when you’re scheduling your camping site. Our site was blocked but we could squeeze out so it wasn’t a problem for us. But it could be a problem for others. So just a heads up. Bath house was clean showers looked good. They do you have poison ivy or poison oak in this park. I don’t remember which but they had signs up about it. We saw squirrels, bunnies, and LOTS of hawks and a few other birds during our stay. We had solid Verizon service anywhere in the park. The rangers drive though on and off all day then disappear in the late afternoon reappearing early morning. There are quite a few flys buzzing around and gnat like bugs. But it was no big deal. Great park!"

"Fantastic spot to spend the week. Had the place almost to ourselves Mon -Fri. Due to all the recent rain, beautiful creeks flow throughout. Walking trails everywhere. Very affordable. RV sites had partial hook ups but dump onsite that was well maintained and easily accessible."

"We took the kids on a spur of the moment camping trip and decided to get a cabin here. We stayed in cabin #5 and we were impressed! The cabin was clean and the heat worked great. It had a nice patio area with a cool fire ring and lots of space for the kids to run around and play. There was a super cool and easy trail to the pond that we loved exploring! We can’t wait to go back when the sun is out! It was raining while we were there but we still had such a great time!"
