El Prado Group Campground

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 and is 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 enjoy great horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking trails, including the Laguna Meadow Trail system and a segment of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. The campground 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. Part of the campground is fenced off to protect the habitat of the endangered Laguna Skipper butterfly, and visitors are asked to respect the fence boundary and comply with the maximum site occupancy.
