El Prado Group Campground - Big Sage

Mt Laguna, California

About

El Prado Group Campground is a great mountain getaway just one hour east of San Diego, California in the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area. Campers can enjoy cooler temperatures, unique natural areas and an extensive trail system at this mountain facility from summer through early fall. The campground sits at an elevation of 5,600 ft. in the Laguna Mountains, forested with pines and oaks that provide plenty of shade. The area is home to many species of birds, as well as the endangered Laguna Skipper butterfly. Visitors can get their boots dusty on the Laguna Meadow Trail system or access a segment of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from Mexico, through California and north to Canada. The facility provides drinking water, flush and vault toilets and a large parking area. Each site can accommodate a varying number of guests ranging between 30 to 50 people, and allows a 40-ft. maximum RV length. One of the group sites, Yerba Santa, is accessible and includes four tent sites.
