Whazoo - Thanks!
w6pea - Go east on I-8. Turn north on Sunrise Hwy. Drive about 26 miles to Laguna/El Prado camp on west side of road. You can also get there via Julian. Best not to go on weekends unless you have a reservation. more info: http://www.lmva.org/camping/camping.htm

Beautiful snake I must say. They are my favorite.
Stunning photos, too! Where's the camper located? Can you include a pic?

Silversand - Sorry, no photo of the camper (which is really my little C that thinks it's a TC) because of tree angle issues. See photo in my signature.

Tiger & W6pea
There is another little campground in San Diego County that you might like to check out. Cibbets Flat it is easy to get to, only 4+ miles off of I-8. If you are able to go out mid week you most likely will have the place to yourself!
Campground: Descanso Ranger District, Cibbets Flat Campground
Description: 4200-foot elevation. 25 campsites. Hiking on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Location: East of San Diego on I-8, exit at Kitchen Canyon / Cameron Station Road & go north about 4.5 miles.

San Diego County is full of public land campgrounds: state parks, county parks, BLM parks, USFS parks. I really ought to visit more of them.

Thanks for posting Tiger.
Fall is a great time of year. The campground slowdown from summer is also nice.
Winter is another matter for us in the rainy Northwest. We hope to be in your neck of the woods and even farther south this winter.

What BLM Campgrounds? I think there are maybe 1 or 2 out in Mc Cain Valley? I don't know of anymore in San Diego County. I also am not familiar with others, Oh maybe Sweetwater Summit Park.

Lark Canyon & Cottonwood are in the McCain Valley area. BLM also allows dispersed camping in some areas. There may be safety issues and Border Patrol activity; I don't want to go on record recommending dispersed camping in eastern SD County even though I do it everywhere else.

Sweetwater Summit campground, which BTW is being doubled in size, is a county park.
