Mount Laguna Campground
Cappie’s Scoop: This has been our go-to campground for Mom and I. We really like this spot. It’s close to the trails and a very big meadow where I can zoooom through it. If we ever need to get away, this is our spot. It’s not too far from our home in San Diego and its fun to get into the mountains when we were just at the beach! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: Camp sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. You can also collect firewood in the area to use for a fire. Our favorite site is #15 because it is huge and is next to the meadow which has a couple hiking trails. Nearby hikes include Pine Mountain Loop, Garnet Peak, Monument Peak via Big Laguna Trail, Agua Dulce Loop and Wooded Hill.
Directions: From I-8 E take the Sunrise Highway exit and turn left onto Sunrise Highway (S1). Head north on Sunrise Highway for approximately 13 miles. Then turn left onto Laguna Meadow Rd. and follow signs for the Mount Laguna Campground. The El Prado Group Campground is also located in the same spot.
