Overall, we had a great time. Would we come again? Sure! I'll start with the cons. The restrooms were not as clean as I thought they'd be. Not sure if it's management or inconsiderate campers (who's to know). The wood they sell doesn't burn... super weird. I used 4 fire starters, a torch lighter, cutting the wood into smaller pieces, stoking the fire... NOTHING would work. The wood would get black, but it would not ignite. Now for the pros. It was very quiet. Peaceful even. We stayed in campsite 46 and it was quite spacious! We were far from the restrooms and playgrounds. Enjoyed the breeze. Initially I was scared we might get the smell from the river, but we didn't. They allow pets, however... the land might not be as dog friendly. There are A LOT of fox tails and other not-so-fun weeds that get stuck in their paws and or fur. I had to go to Walmart to get some gauze (if you don't have dog shoes you can use gauze as an alternative, just be careful not to make them too tight) to cover my toy poodles paws because it was really bad. The hikes were a treat. Hopefully you run into some horses on your nature walk. Staff was friendly... It is dry camping, so no hookups. $29/night I saw a lot of people with bikes. We had a nice trip. Tent camping can be a lot work, but man is it fun! Tips: 1) Bring ear plugs, helicopters can be a little noisy 2) if your site is far from the restrooms, bring an emergency toilet. Super easy to make w the Walmart porta potty bags, a 5 gallon bucket and a pool noodle to go around the edge of the bucket. 3) bug repellent around your tent 4) on the sdparks website, if you see some sites labeled 'EQ' it stands for equestrian (those sites have stables for horses) read more

I really like this place. Close to the city where you can run and grab food or anything you forgot. But gives you the feel of out in the desert. They have great wood structures for kids to climb on plenty of showers and bathrooms. Nice fire pits. There is a nice 2 mile hike to the beach. Just don't go swimming in it cuz it's so close to the boarder I don't trust the water. Definitely look up swimming conditions. Staff is friendly but very strict with the rules. One time my car registration was over due and I didn't notice till it got there so had to deal with that before going on property. Fire wood is cash only $5. Have fun. read more

We visited some friends that were camping here. The campground is new and well maintained. Its an open space and even has horse stalls at some camp sites. They have an innovative play area for kids that looks like its built into the landscape. You can walk or bike to the southeastern most point in the US. The place felt safe. Its interesting camping near the border wall. Our friends enjoyed camping there. read more

When one is considering where to camp in the San Diego region, The Tijuana River is not what comes to mind. We were with a group, and it was another person's idea to camp here. I had my reservations, but I am a good sport, so I rolled with it. So Glad I did. The campground is new. The shower house and bathrooms are fantastic and kept clean. The grounds are kept up. We camped in April, so we were surrounded by daisy's and other wild flowers. I made my first ever daisy chain! We arrived in the evening of a day that had gotten up to 90 degrees. The ground radiated the heat it had absorbed during the day. There were nats that came out as we were setting up. But as soon as we sprayed the insect repellant, they were gone. It was quiet as we slept through the night. Every once in a while, you could hear faint drums and mariachi music coming from the direction of the bull fighting arena. We had a great time. hiking to the beach, and a group of us enjoyed the farmer's market on Saturday. I wish there was more shade, but there are baby trees all over, and one could just imagine what it will be like in 10 years. You do have to cross over the STINKY Tijuana river to get there. However, there were very few cases where the smell from the river reached the campground. We stayed in Campsite 25, the table was sturdy, the fire pit is a new design I had not seen before. It does not allow the heat from the fire to reach a person sitting in a chair very easily. Be sure to tie down your tent and shade awning if you are using it, because the wind can blow hard during the day. Several in our group stayed in the Yurts. They were very nice inside, and not as hot as you might expect. The mattresses looked like thick thermarest air mattresses. that are resistant to mold and other pests. there is a fan in the top, and with the vents open, the airflow keeps it fairly cool. Ranger staff were kind, and very ready to share their insights. Friendship park was closed. be careful when you take the beach hike from the road. It veers to the right to take you to friendship park. There were a couple from our group that took that path the day earlier. It was a muddy mess. and the park was abandoned. If you veer right on a gravel road instead, there is another path leading across the marsh to the beach. The Beach is stunning! The waves look amazing. and it seemed surreal that this little stretch of beach was so close to San Diego, yet so remote that it seemed untouched. read more

This is a really nice open relaxing campground close to San Diego. The only reason I give it 3 stars and not 5 is because what they don't mention. The biggest issue with this Campground are the ants, helicopters and the mosquitoes! I had an infestation of ants on and inside my tent!!! Can you imagine waking up to that! Plus all over our trucks!!! I noticed some campers 2 spots next to ours having the same issue! We had to go into town and buy bug spray to declare a war on this infestation of ants, spend all morning getting rid of them and spraying everything afterwards. Not really my idea of a nice cup of coffee in the morning. Since the coastguard in so close and it is right by the border the coast guard runs drills and or inspection runs till 11pm or midnight. If the sound of constant choppers bothers you dont camp here. If it does not and you can imagine its recurring thunder then ok. The rest of the place was clean and very quite at night. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE ANTS!!! This way they can come prepared to avoid this mess and not have to wake up to a tent full of ants and on your body OR JUST SPRAY THE GOUNDS!! Unfortunately as nice as this campground is we will not ever return to it Because of these issues and we camp a lot and this is the first time we encountered such a problem! read more

It was nice here . Highly recommend if you're trying to get away for a day or 2. Park rangers are always patrolling and so I border patrol , so don't worry about running into someone trying to cross the border lol it's safe read more

This truly quiet campground is just a mile N of Mexican Border! This is the most southwestern point of the entire United States! We Camped here over Labor Day 2021 w our 35' 5th Wheel & 19' F350. Campsites we're wide and clean. Shawn in the Office was great. Save on your fuel and load water into your RV upon arrival! Management approved! The reason I'm only giving four out of five stars is because they're were organized marching protesters telling us to leave on Monday because it was unsafe and not to come back! (I doubt protesters ever camped here!) The biggest issue with this Campground are the ants and the mosquitoes! Both are out of control! It is my recommendation upon your arrival to immediately spray down your RV or tent! And I would recommend spraying yourself down with OFF, or some like product. On Saturday during our stay we took a drive down to the Puerto Nuevo which is known as the Lobster Village. Crossing back in to US was a breeze. Sunday we drove around San Diego taking in Point Loma and National City. The only other thing that I could see as a downside was those who had horses let their animals poop all around the campgrounds without having to pick up their mess; whereas, I was expected to pick up after my dog. (Which we do anyways) And as far as the mosquito bites, they are vicious! I must've got bit 250 times on each leg! I couldn't sleep from the itching! But what I found better than anything; after the fact, was soaking a towel in ice and then wrapping my legs to stop the itching! This was better than Noxzema, Benadryl itch cream, and apple cider vinegar! (Who Knew?) It's also my suggestion that management start to thoroughly/continuously spray for bugs around the entire campground to minimize the egregious ant infestation's in this natural habitat. And should management decide to take heed to my recommendations, then yes we would definitely return! read more

The grounds deserve 5 stars. It's beautiful and well maintained. The only reason we will not be returning is Ranger John Nash. From the minute we came onto the property he was hostile and rude. He went over the rules over 3 times and pointed at me as he barked them like I was in boot camp. I came to relax for my birthday and he made it uncomfortable and stressful. He made my friend cry by telling her to get out of her car and she wasn't allowed to drive it on OR OFF the property because her driver's license expired the day before. He literally held her car hostage until I walked over there and drove her car the 20 feet to the parking space. He harassed our guests repeatedly for absolutely no reason and made them leave even though we were under max capacity for our yurt. Every guest that came onto this property was ridiculed and interrogated by Mr. Nash. He followed my friend (a 22 year old girl) in the dark through the campgrounds after she repeatedly asked him not to. Our entire first day he would stand outside of the ranger office staring directly at us. He ended the night by getting very close to my face and saying "I hope you get a peaceful sleep tonight, it's not the safest area." He said this with a sarcastic tone and smug smile. It was obvious he intention was to make us worried. He is downright unprofessional, arrogant, and creepy. Coming from a group of girls, do NOT stay here by yourself if this guy is here. read more
