    Mostly groomed path from one camp to another 14 total sites
    Miss T.

    Easy drive if you stay on path a few bumps in road, the entrance is a little washboard and 5 mp does it ok. I recommend that you arrive prior to sundown if possible. Heads up as an RVer, this camp ground is popular with climber and they think nothing of walking through your camp area so they can make a climb. It was odd but happen several times during my stay here. Large groups would pile in a single campsite and of course the noice level goes up...I'm just saying. If you can camp here during week, incredible little desert paradise

    Sawtooth Canyon Campground is in New Jack City. To get here, take the I-15 North and exit on Barstow Rd (Hwy 247). Go south for about 15 miles and turn right onto a dirt road at mile marker 63. Drive until you reach a fork, turn left here. There is no designated spot for all the sites. Rather, they're sprawled throughout the park. If there is a table with benches under an awning, bbq pit and fire pit, then it's a site. You might want to be watchful because there is glass all over the ground. My bf and I camped for MLK weekend. We got there past midnight on Friday and found one spot open. Unfortunately, it was next to an RV that had its generator running. All. Night. Long. Needless to say, it was annoying. The following morning, we were able to find another site, so we moved. On Saturday night, we basically had that part of the park to ourselves. There was no one at the sites next to us, so it was perfect. So, basically, Sawtooth is a dry campground, which means there is no water anywhere, so you'll need to bring enough for your stay. There are only vault toilets, but there might not be one near your site, so you might have to do a little walking to get to one, OR, you can just go anywhere else. After all, the whole park is your bathroom. The toilets are clean though. It's a first come, first serve so no reservations are taken. Each site has a table for your camp stove, a fire pit and a bbq pit in case you want to have a family reunion there, in the desert. And the best part? It's FREE! I would recommend this campground if you're just looking for a place to rest your weary for the night.

    Great, clean and wide open camping. Great climbing all around. A great place to camp, and super easy to get to.

    It's a beautiful campground, but I got confused: This review is of the neighboring campground:…read morePineknot.....At first, it's strange that you go down a long residential street and then up to the Ski ramps, but you make a left and go down another road to the camp. Do not get a site by the front road. Get a site in the center or back, and you'll be surrounded by a forest. The camp host is great, helpful, and keeps everything very clean. Now, this campground, Serrano is also beautiful, but doesn't feel as foresty as the I stayed at because there aren't as many pines, BUT there are showers, and that's why we came here before 8pm daily, for $5 a person.

    This was our first time camping here after struggling to get a reservation after many years. We…read moredidn't have much of a choice for our campsite, but FWIW, the campsite was still pretty clutch. We were close to showers and bathrooms, and our neighbors on both sides were very polite and pretty quiet (or kept to themselves; not blasting music or being overly loud). We were close to the lake so we were able to walk and check it out. Camp hosts were around to keep the bathrooms clean and to be around for any questions. If you walk around, you might see a camp host selling firewood at their site, which was really helpful so you didn't have to drive all the way to the front to purchase more. Overall, loved our stay. I am not sure if we would camp here again, but still enjoyed our time here. Thank you!

    This is a great campground local to San Diego. About a 40 minute drive. I used to go to the…read moreCuyamaca Campgrounds a lot. This one is located about 5 minutes away. Green Valley has (small - around 3 feet high) falls and cool water to soak in. It is south of the main campground and the public can park there (I think there is a parking fee to get into the campground?) and 10 minute walk down to the falls. Really peaceful, and the amenities (showers/bathrooms) have been greatly improved over the years. It barely feels like 'roughing it'! My onlycomplaint, and it was a BIG one is the flying BUGS were buzzing/bombing me he entire trip! Some people's blood (MINE) is supposed to attract them more than others. Because I noticed other campers were NOT impacted. Bring a skeeter hair net or repellent. I went in September , Space 41. Oh! and wild turkeys came right up to my camp space! Cool.

    Had a blast spending our weekend here. Rangers are prompt and please do purchase firewood on site…read more(it's cheaper than other places and works great) Quiet area and enjoyed everything. Restrooms are clean with toilet paper and sink. Just no paper towels (take a hand towel) Stayed from 6/19/20 to 6/21/20 and all slots were taken but everyone was respectful to each other. Ground is dirt and bit not leveled well so do be wise to where you want to place your tent. One slot can have about 2-4 tents (depending on the tent size) we have 1- 4person and 2-2 people tent ... worked out great! Will definitely be back :)
