We went back to Lake Jennnings again. The Helix water district is now responsible for the campgrounds. They assumed the campground January 2009. The host's are very friendly and helpful. I like this place because it gives you a camping feeling even close to home. The showers and facilities are clean and well maintained. We visited many San Diego sites that are within a short distance and had a "campfire" evening. It was nice and quiet. We will return! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a good place to camp for a "get away" weekend. The staff is helpful and friendly. We stayed on a hill overlooking the lake. There is no swimming but you can watch the fishing boats and the weather was nice. Down the road is Barona Casino and that was a nice stop for the afternoon. The campsite was quiet and very clean and we will go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a reservoir for San Diego area residents, which means NO SWIMMING, WADING, IN THE LAKE and NO ANIMALS ALLOWED OUTSIDE CAMPGROUND. Campers can rent small manual or electric-powered boats and fish on the lake as late as midnight so long as you have a lantern. Due to budget cutbacks, the lake is only open for fishing, boating, and hiking from Friday-Sunday. The campground is open every day, and if you like to be in a half-full campground near a lake during the summer, then midweek camping here will satisfy that preference. There aren't any decent lakeview sites for RVs, except for the small overflow section that only allows units 25' or less. On the backside you can get a decent view of the mountains behind the lake (sites 13-19), although some are hindered a bit by bushes or by power wires (site 13). Overall, it's a nice place to camp if you want to be near San Diego yet feel like you're a little farther out of town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Visually attractive,clean and well shaded park with unique layout. Very tight spaces with twisty, hilly, turns makes larger rig parking difficult. More suited to 30' max for short term camping. There are larger rigs, but they are full timers who are set up as permanent or semi permanent residents who are employed in the surrounding area. There is a clean pool, but only has a depth of 5' and is about average size for an RV park. 2 large showers with 2 sinks and a key is needed for access. Fitness room is nothing more than a large closet with a single barely functional multi exercise unit with two dumbbells and several treadmills. To enter, a 4 digit punch in code is needed, but you'll most likely turn around and exit immediately upon entry, or not return a second time. Plenty of washers and dryers that are clean and functional. Although the park is generally quiet, a large group of ravens or crows dominate the parks trees and are quite loud and disturbing. Each space has a small concrete pad that needs to be reached by crossing about 10' of stone pebbles which presents a major problem for motorcycle parking and turn arounds. I would suggest two wheelers avoid this park for any stay over a few days as maneuvering about these pads which have a small drop off, is exasperating and dangerous. Management is inflexible, dictatorial, and unfriendly. It's almost like being in some kind of confinement atmosphere. I had planned on spending the summer here to escape the Arizona heat, but after only a few days have decided to look elsewhere as the parks minuses outweigh the pluses. I certainly will not return, and recommend anyone looking for a casual, fun, park look elsewhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are narrow roads, and space numbers are not clearly indicated. There are some unfriendly full time residents. I would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Small park wedged into a little town. Level sites, but very close when you put out the awning. Bath house use only if you put a deposit for the key, so we didn't. Lots of long term residents. No noise from the highway that's only a mile away. Restaurants and shopping in nearby El Cajon. Good Verizon cell and aircard service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
