La Jolla Indian Campground
Experience La Jolla with us at San Diego County's only campsite with river and tubing access! Spots available for daily use and up to 7 nights. The La Jolla Indian Reservation consists of nearly 10,000 acres located at the base of Palomar Mountain in Northern San Diego County, California.

Most of the land is undisturbed wilderness and is covered with many native plants and trees such as sage, chia, berries and many oak trees for making wiiwish (acorn pudding).There is also game such as deer and rabbit. These plants and game make up a small portion of our traditional food, all of which are still consumed by tribal members today.
Services
At La Jolla Indian Campground you can enjoy multiple RV camping sites along the peaceful river with accommodations great for large groups. We feature 36 RV sites with hookups. Price includes water/electric hookup and we have an onsite RV dump station (free of charge with one night stay). We recommend booking in advance to secure your site.

My favorite place to camp. It has a river. Nice areas to set up tents. They also have a store at the top of the camp ground that's very useful.

Stop there on the way to the desert, grab some road sodas, take a bump in the parking lot and play a slot machine or two. Good times.

I frequently take drives to go to and around Palomar Mountain. Most every time I'll be driving by the La Jolla Indian Reservation. Their fuel at their gas station is cheaper than where I normally fuel up and much cheaper nowadays. I decided to go there to see if the zip line was still operating. It is. I believe they said it was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with the need for reservations. I was on the zip line when they first opened it up and it was pretty cool. There are actually 5 zip lines that will take you from where they bring you to back down to the bottom of the Mountain. The going rate

Amazing experience!! Definitely worth the drive and overall I've zero complaints except for the bathrooms!! They were disgusting but I felt amazing afterwards regardless. 10/10 and can't wait to go back but this time with water shoes for the shower haha.

Great camping area to come visit the budget has impacted the reservation where they had to close the Waterpark but it's a great low cost campground where you can visit and learn about the reservation. I had a wonderful experience.

Camp ground was nice. We stayed m- th, so it was quiet. I hear the weekends are busy.
Facilities needed to kept up. That was a bummer. No dumpster pick up was bad also. Again, after a super busy weekend all the Facilities needed a clean up.
Site 8 was tiny, but thats my bad. At least no one was next to us.
Bugs and flies abound. To be expected though especially near a river

Easy to make reservations online, clean campground and plenty of campsite space with tables. The kids had fun in the river even though the water level was low.

It's always a nice choice to do camping at weekend. This place is not far from the city of San Diego, very convenient. The river is so beautiful, staff working there are so nice, it also makes me feel safe because there are police cars checking around. It is a very popular place, so if you are looking for somewhere really quiet, maybe this place is not for you. But I love our neighbors, they are polite and sweet. There are free fire pit spots but when we got there, they are all taken. We brought our own fire pits and it worked nice. I'll maybe come back if I wanna just go somewhere close and convenient
